Google is partnering with at least two Korean car makers to
integrate its Google Maps and Place services into Kia’s new UVO
eServices telematics system, a tech site reported this week.
The Next Web said
Google's new services may roll out later this year for Kia's new 2014
Sorento models, with the Sorento going on sale in the first quarter.
It said the system will provide turn-by-turn directions and assist the location of nearby points of interest.
Kia also developed its own UVO smartphone app, which will connect to the Sorento’s telematic system via a Send-to-Car feature.
The feature beams mapping data from the handset directly to the car.
The Android app is expected to launch in the second quarter.
Google Maps will also be integrated into Hyundai via Google's
Send-to-Car feature, as well as Hyundai's Blue Link technology, though
it is not immeditely clear which car models will sport the services.
