On the eve of the May 1 travel peak, AutoNavi released a new version of V10.83, and a new vertical screen version of AR driving navigation was added, which supports almost all models of iPhone and Android. Compared with the horizontal screen version, the vertical screen version of AR driving navigation is more in line with people's operating habits, and it is more convenient for early adopters to experience an intuitive and accurate real-world navigation experience. Many users have reported that "the existing brackets come in handy again".
In August last year, AutoNavi Maps took the lead in launching the AR driving navigation function among the world's mainstream map applications. Once it was launched, it was widely favored by users, and the cumulative number of users exceeded 100 million within a few months.
Considering that the horizontal screen of mobile phones has a better field of view than the vertical screen, AutoNavi AR driving navigation previously only supported the horizontal screen version. When users use it, they need a bracket to fix the horizontal screen of the mobile phone in a place where the road can be photographed, which has a certain threshold for use. Many users also ridiculed that AutoNavi should produce a mobile phone stand suitable for AR navigation.
In fact, most users are more accustomed to operating their mobile phones vertically, and most of the car mobile phone brackets purchased are also placed vertically. Therefore, users have always had a high voice for the vertical screen version of AR navigation. On social media, the AutoNavi map was urged by a large number of users to ask when the vertical version would be launched.
In order to better serve users, AutoNavi actively responded to the demands, and once again took the lead in supporting the vertical screen version of AR driving navigation, greatly reducing the threshold for use. Since there is no need to change the orientation of the phone, users can easily switch between classic navigation and AR navigation with one click while driving. Using classic navigation on general roads can also avoid the problem of mobile phone heating and power consumption caused by the long-term opening of the camera in AR mode.
Up to now, after several rounds of intensive product iterations, AutoNavi AR navigation vertical screen version and horizontal screen version have supported almost all mobile phone models, and have landed in many scenarios such as driving recorders, car terminals, and car products. Become the most comprehensive map application supporting scenarios in the industry.
