The adage ‘look before you leap’ is a lifesaver. Ensuring this, Smart has recently released an all-new drive app for iPhone users. The smart drive app comes with all the important features needed while driving: phone calls via hands-free system, an extensive music collection, internet radio, and a clever navigation system.
The app also features Car Finder that guides users back to wherever they parked their car. Designed to be simple yet effective, the Smart app comes with extra large buttons for an easier usage. Users can listen to music, make phone calls and find their destination straight away.
The Smart lets drivers enjoy their private music collection. It comes equipped with an integrated web radio function that allows users to listen to their favorite foreign radio station and podcasts whenever they want. The song ID function helps one obtain information online about titles and singers of songs that are being played on the radio or on web radio.
The hands-free system and all other important functions needed to make phone calls are automatically available as soon as the phone is put in the smart cradle. For simple in-car use, keypad, contacts, call lists and other telephony functions are systematically arranged.
Further, the basic version of the app shows the vehicle’s position on a map of the area (‘Follow-me maps’) and helps drivers locate points of interest by using the on-board database or offboard via Microsoft Bing. The navigation upgrade intelligently transmogrifies the iPhone into a full navigation system with maps for Europe or the USA – enabling navigation without being online. In fact, street names are not only shown but also read aloud.
The Smart driving iPhone app can be downloaded from the App Store at a one-off price of $9.99 for the basic version.
