We all love Navigation System in the a car. But unfortunately Car Navigation System has limits. Some don’t work in a particular geographical zone. Now Imagine an Operating system on your car screen that uses your phone and has more functionality, from navigation to Music many more.

One can say that Google Maps is the best navigation tool around. Yet its never integrated into cars like Garmin and others. Android auto provides a platform for this. It uses your smartphone to do this via the dash screen. The cool thing about it? it uses the car GPS which can be more accurate than phone’s GPS.
