HERE, navigation for connected cars has added predictive services that provide drivers traffic information before leaving, personalized fuel and parking recommendations based on their preferences and habits.

• A highly personalized relationships with their cars and the content they use while driving.
• Context-specific information at different times during a journey.
HERE Departure Alert proactively displays traffic conditions on the most common routes a driver takes. The service learns travel patterns – based on destinations, routes, time and location – and combines the information with HERE Real-Time Traffic to aid decision-making at the start of a trip.
HERE Personal Fuel Recommendations learns the fuel preferences of the driver and provides timely recommendations based on:
- The driver’s comfort zone for how far they travel on one tank of gas before refueling.
- The driver’s preferred fuel brand and sensitivity to fuel pricing.
- The distance and time required for the driver to get to a preferred fuel stop.
HERE Personal Parking Recommendations offers off-street parking facility recommendations when the vehicle is within 1 km of the destination, or around the driver’s location when a destination is not entered. Over time, the system learns the driver’s preferences in terms of price or walking distance to the destination.
