“With Mapbox Dash, we are delivering the best of both worlds for our customers: an integrated application with an excellent and fast ‘out of the box’ experience for Android and Linux, and a customization option through the Mapbox platform to create a unique OEM brand experience aligned with drivers’ needs. We believe great applications are built around customer feedback, and our team is continuously updating Dash with frequent new releases that incorporate driver feedback and ensure we are offering the most up-to-date and personalized platform to our customers,” – said Peter Sirota, Mapbox CEO.
General Motors (“GM”) is the first car maker to adopt Mapbox Dash through the launch of its Maps+, a connected in-car navigation application built on Mapbox Dash. On April 30, Maps+ is expected to begin its rollout to approximately 900,000 compatible vehicles as part of select Connected Services plans. For the rollout, drivers will be able to upgrade their existing vehicle to include a full featured in-car navigation system with a simple over the air software update.
