Waze It is known for being one of the most loved navigation applications by users. The main advantage over others is the contribution of its community. Users interact and report possible incidents on the route so that an alternative, faster route can be found. Now for the first time it appears natively integrated into Renaultbeing the French brand the one that has opted the most for said application in recent times.
Although it is true that Waze had already collaborated with other car manufacturers (see the Fiat Panda Waze), the truth is that until now it had to be accessed via mobile phone. Later, it could be displayed on the vehicle’s screen if the smartphone was connected with Android Auto or with Apple CarPlay, but it had never been done directly. integrated into a multimedia system. This means that in some Renault models you can use it directly without having to download the application on your mobile.
It will be available in the Renault Austral and Megane E-Tech, two of the most recent additions to the range of the French firm. It is possible thanks to the fact that both models offer the openRlink multimedia system with integrated Google. So users who have such cars with the system will be able to navigate with Waze directly from the 12-inch vertical screen they mount. So they can benefit from real-time traffic information with warnings about traffic jams, obstacles on the road or any other incident.
The only thing that the owners of those Renault vehicles will have to do to have Waze will be download app for openR link, either directly from Google Play through the car’s multimedia system or from the MY Renault mobile application. From there, it will be enough to create an account or log in with an existing one to continue using it for free. It’s Waze’s first large-scale partnership with a car manufacturer, but we’re sure it could be extended to others in the near future.
