Porsche Taycan Models Get Support For Apple Maps EV Routing – SlashGear

Apple Maps has already been in cars for several years; it’s a familiar and easy-to-use navigation system for millions of drivers, EV owners or not. Porsche Digital Inc’s Managing Director Steffen Haug agrees, stating: “We’ve listened to our customers, and they appreciate flexibility. This integration with a product that they are already familiar with gives more options and confidence in how they use their Taycan, both in day-to-day activities and on longer road trips.”

Tesla is notable for always using its own infotainment system right from the start, and now GM is developing its own system. With Porsche adding more Apple Maps and smartphone-based features, a definite line is forming between allowing open or closed systems for EVs. The future will tell whether or not software and hardware giants like Apple and Google take the crown for dashboard supremacy, or if the automakers will eke out a win when it comes to widespread adoption. The new Apple Maps EV routing feature is now available for anyone who has the newest version of the My Porsche app.
