Audi A8 to Bring Google Earth to Its SatNav System [New Audi A8 to Count on Google Earth for Directions]

Let’s say you’re one of those filthy rich bastards who can afford the powerful and expensive new Audi A8. If there’s one thing you don’t want to happen while driving that car, is to get lost, which is why any self-respecting luxury car nowadays will be delivered with a built-in GPS-based satellite navigation system.

Google Earth Comes to Audi A8
In: web resources
17 Dec 2009
Yes, plenty of cars have built-in GPS navigation. But up until now, no car had Google Earth integrated, and now Audi has remedied that with their new luxury car, the Audi A8.
Snugged right into the LCD screen in the car, the Google Earth application will let lucky owners look at 3D satellite imagery, terrain information, and even additional info layers such as Wikipedia articles or Panoramio images related to a certain location.
A8’s system will also feature Google Maps and Local Search, plus the ability to link it all with your desktop computer. To save time, you can simply search for an address on your computer and send it to the car; when you start driving, the car will know where to go.
However, if you’re not familiar with German manufacturer’s luxury cars, lets just say that only those with the deepest pockets will be buying one. The rest of us will have to make do with an iPhone stand and the Google Earth mobile app.

Google Earth to Be Integrated Into New Audi A8 [Google]
In: gadgets
17 Dec 2009
Google’s partnering with Audi to include Google Earth and other services in the new Audi A8. This’ll make Audi the first automaker to directly integrate Google’s services in one of its vehicles, but I certainly doubt it’ll be the last.
To me this is a perfect fit as Google stays as not-evil as possible and Audi keeps making oh-so-gorgeous cars. [Google Lat Long Blog—Thanks, Chareverie!]
