App Links Your iPhone to GPS
Pioneer is introducing an iPhone app that allows you to transfer map destinations from your iPhone to your in-dash GPS. How is this useful? The AVIC Feeds app lets you program any number of destinations (restaurants, movie theaters, etc.) into your iPhone before you get in the car, and then they immediately available as points of interest on your Pioneer GPS. This saves the time of rifling through menus while in the car.
Locations are first chosen via Google Maps and then downloaded to the GPS by Bluetooth. Simply click on the push-pin icon for the destination and the GPS gives you the route. This eliminates the need to use your phone as a GPS unit, which can be a pain if you can’t get a cell signal.
The free AVIC app works with the Pioneer AVIC-U310BT, which retails for $599, and the opulent AViC-Z110BT, which will cost you $1,599.
Yikes, that’s an expensive app.
