Technology
The service delivers map tiles from the cloud to the vehicle.
The cloud service is based on an intelligent map tile approach using common automotive standards such as NDS
Only the most important map tiles for the vehicle journey are downloaded on demand minimizing the size of the embedded map
A home area is detected and is only updated when map attributes change by checking the freshness of the tiles and map data
Vehicles moving towards an area with white spots or areas without connectivity will receive additional map tiles that extend across the low or no connectivity areas to guarantee the quality of the service
Inside the vehicle, the map information are easily made available to vehicle functions by the in-vehicle client and eHorizon provider, e.g. in the ADASIS format
