What\u2019s more, Mitsubishi\u2018s system will be the first to offer the service offline, meaning no cell or data connection is needed to navigate \u2014 a boon for drivers that don\u2019t have good cell reception where they live.<\/p>\n
Our friends down under will be the first to get the tech with the new Eclipse launching this month in Australia and New Zealand. North Americans will be able to get their hands on it next year.<\/p>\n The news comes after a rather cagey announcement from HERE Technologies and What3words in October<\/a>, in which the companies announced a partnership to bring the three word navigation option to a whole bunch of vehicles. HERE Technologies aren\u2019t well known in the consumer market, but are responsible for four in five of the satnavs found in new cars, so it could have quite an impact.<\/p>\n That announcement didn\u2019t include any information on what cars were likely to get What3words, though. Even after a few questions, HERE Technologies said that it would be working with partners on a \u201ccase-by-case\u201d basis.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also worth noting that TomTom and Here Technologies are not the same thing. TomTom first integrated What3words into its satnav platforms<\/a> a few years ago bringing its three word navigation to Fiat, Chrysler, Peugeot, and Citroen.<\/p>\n As for HERE-based satnavs, we\u2019ll still have to wait to find out what cars are going to get What3words first.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a>SHIFT<\/a> is brought to you by Polestar.
