that looks very very cool!

That's one way to make sure your maps are up to date :D Good work by Audi

haha i wouldn't say so. my address, it took google about 2 yrs to put them on their map :p even lexus got them on the map before google did, hehe

True. According to Google maps, my house is still a pile of dirt :p

WOW thats pretty slick. Now if they could only try to design cars that don't look so similar.

Very sweet, good idea being able to use your smartphone's data plan to upload maps into to the car via Bluetooth.

looks like audi is raising the bar in their flagship sedan line up. Never thought that a8 was up to par with lexus bmw and mercedes flagship line up but looks like now their back in the competition.

Well glad the A8 is bringing at least one new feature....Hopefully you can google map the designer's home and leave a message on his door :D

Nice feature on a very nice new A8.

I8ABMR, thats a nice Lexus IS you have there :) :)

This is pretty hot! The Manhattan map will sure have a lot of on screen clutter:p

Mapping data is separate to the satellite imagery.

Anyway, it's about time someone did what Audi is doing. DVDs and HD upgrades for navs are an expensive joke.

even though it's a GS. :p

Yes the IS and GS look exactly alike. They are the same style different size. Yup, anyone could mistake the two. :egads:
