Google Local Search in BMWs

Written By Sepideh Saremi | September 21, 2007 | Share This |

BMW is introducing “Google By Car,” local search functionality,  to its models. Not surprisingly, it sounds very intuitively integrated into the dashboard navigation system. From myTELUS:

The German luxury carmaker is now the only automobile manufacturer in the world to offer Google local search in their cars. The search function will allow drivers to look for local information anywhere in Germany- powered by the worlds most powerful search engine. Results are displayed with address, phone number and distance, and upon finding what they’re looking for, the driver can transfer the coordinates into their car’s navigation system and mobile phone at the touch of a button.

Only German drivers will have get Google for now, but here’s hoping U.S. models and other manufacturers follow suit soon. (via Marketing Pilgrim.)
