If you travel by car, you need Smartnav. More than just a satellite navigation system, it provides drivers with a range of support services to make every journey as quick, easy ands safe as possible. At the touch of a button, you are connected to a Smartnav Personal Assistant, who will enter details of your destination into a central computer. In just a few seconds, the route is sent to your car.

A powerful computer calculates the route to your destination, incorporating traffic data and the very latest mapping information, to ensure that your journey is as quick and easy as possible. The route is downloaded digitally to your in-car Smartnav unit, which provides you with clear, turn by turn, spoken instructions. It's just like having your very own navigator - with out the arguments!
Smartnav combines live, forecast, incident and historical traffic information to give you the best possible route from A to B. The powerful computer that calculates your route is housed outside your car, which means that the mapping information is always up to date. What's more, Smartnav will automatically react to any unforeseen change in traffic conditions and where possible offers you an alternative route.

The route is calculated by a powerful computer, developed by Motorola and Trafficmaster, which is situated at trafficmaster's Control Centre.  Route calculation incorporates real-time traffic data from over 7500 sensors,		located on more than 8000 miles of the UK road network. It also analyses forecast and historical data, collated from 14 years of Trafficmaster's expert congestion monitoring, along with Police data collected by the RAC, so known traffic hotspots, specific incidents and		roadworks are all considered before a route is calculated. All four types of traffic information are fed into the computer, making Smartnav the most sophisticated and intelligent routing service available.

When your on the road, Smartnav protects you from new traffic incidents throughout your journey. The powerful computer continuously monitors traffic conditions on your route and, if a		problem occurs, your in-car Smartnav unit will automatically alert you to it and offer an alternative route, if a quicker one is available.		By simply pressing the Smartnav button, a new, more effective route to your destination is sent to your vehicle within seconds.
