Wonder Why Jaguar Chose HERE?
Two simple reasons. The first was the 'commute mode'. This is unique in that it learns your regular route without the driver having to do anything. People generally don't need maneuver guidance for their daily commute, but they do want to know if conditions change due to heavy traffic or road closures. HERE pops into life and offers suggestions when you actually need it. And, the second reason was HERE's experience with companion apps for phones and tablets. These automatically maintain the real time status of your journey and destinations inside and outside the vehicle, once again, without the driver having to do anything. Just switch it on and it's got everything there. Learn More About Why Jaguar Chose HERE
