Bmw shows intelligent and networked microNavigation for not yet covered destinations

BMW Group Research and Technology is working on a project that would give directions to drivers once they’re inside large, complex structures.

This system will be used alongside satellite navigation systems, permitting drivers to easily navigate factories, fairgrounds, and other similar facilities. The project, dubbed as Pathfinder from BMW, will provide micro-navigation both inside and outside the vehicle. In a press release, BMW Project Manager Carsten Isert said that the “realistic visualization of a building” similar to a complex multi-storey car park by means of a micro-Navigation card in the Central Information Display of the research prototype provides the user “a clear navigation and information advantage” that goes further than the conventional range of a road navigation solution.
