•Landmark Guidance gives users an easier way to navigate to their destinations by telling them to turn at familiar landmarks, such as gas stations, stores, or other large, easily seen places instead of only street names.
•Highway Lane Assist helps when navigating complex highway interchanges, ensuring that a driver stays on the correct roadway.
