Dynamic route guidance based on the latest traffic data (TMC/RDS):
Using the data from the Traffic Message Channel, the navigation system takes into account the latest motorway traffic bulletins and automatically calculates diversions. This convenient service is now available in South Africa.

Road network updates:
Map updates include millions of changes, e.g. new roads, crossroads, bypasses, junctions and motorway slip roads and exits. One section of road may feature up to 260 attributes, such as the number of lanes or one-way routing. All of these attributes and the vast number of points of interest have to be updated constantly. In this new version, for example, over 16,733 roundabouts, 23,965 turning restrictions, 56,729 one-way streets and 270,646 street names have been updated. In addition, over 193,431 kilometres of road have been updated, including approx. 2,557 sections of motorway and dual carriageway.
