As a Volvo buyer, you know that safety and convenience are top priorities. That's why we're excited to announce that Volvo is now offering Waze as part of Google built-in in all new Volvo models. Waze is one of the most popular and user-friendly navigation apps available, and now it can be seamlessly integrated into your Volvo's infotainment system.
- Why Waze?
If you haven't used Waze before, you're in for a treat. Waze is a navigation app that offers real-time traffic updates, route suggestions, and turn-by-turn directions. What sets it apart from other navigation apps is the community-driven aspect. Waze users can report accidents, road closures, and other hazards in real-time, which means you can avoid them altogether. Plus, Waze offers alerts for speed cameras and police officers, so you can stay within the speed limit and avoid tickets. With Waze, you'll get to your destination faster and safer.
- How to Get Started
To use Waze in your new Volvo, all you need to do is go to the Google Play Store on your Volvo's infotainment system and download the app. Once it's installed, you can open it and start using it like you would on your phone.
- Benefits of Integration
The integration of Waze into Google built-in in your new Volvo means you no longer have to rely on your phone for navigation. You can see all of your favorite apps on your Volvo's infotainment system, including Waze, and control them with the touchscreen or voice commands. This integration also allows for seamless updates and improvements to the app, so you'll always have the latest features and security updates.
- Safety Benefits
Safety is always a top priority at Volvo, and the integration of Waze into Google built-in in your new Volvo is no exception. By using Waze and its real-time updates, you can avoid accidents, road closures, and other hazards that could put you and your passengers in danger. Plus, the alerts for speed cameras and police officers can help you stay within the speed limit and avoid tickets. By keeping your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road, you can drive safer and more confidently.
