XNUMXD city models in Garmin navigators for Mercedes-Benz
Garmin® International Inc. introduced an in-dash navigation system for the Mercedes-Benz Concept S - Class Coupé. Garmin's first solution offers an advanced 2D city display model, including views of roads, parks, bodies of water, and even building textures. The latest navigation solution is based on software and components provided by Garmin based on the KXNUMX integrated onboard platform concept.
“We are very proud that Mercedes-Benz has chosen our navigation solutions to match their latest technology. 
of the Concept S - Class Coupé presented at the IAA," said Matt Moon, Managing Director of Garmin's Automotive Division. "The invitation to collaborate in creating a vision for the future of premium vehicles confirms Garmin's strong position in the world of navigation and our innovative solutions such as the integrated on-board platform."
The Garmin navigation graphics have been designed to closely match the styling of the latest line of Mercedes-Benz concept cars. The dashboard-integrated screen displays 3D city models with views of landmarks, bridges, tunnels and more. The system has also been equipped with the latest route calculation algorithms and tools that allow you to provide accurate navigation directions while driving.
The Garmin navigation system for Mercedes-Benz vehicles is based on the innovative K2 platform introduced at CES 2013. The K2 platform is a multimedia solution that allows you to conveniently control information, navigation and entertainment functions in your car. It was developed by the Garmin team to solve 
automotive and OEM, but the inspiration came from the marine and aviation segments. The K2 system transforms the car's dashboard into a digital cockpit, providing safe and intuitive access to all essential functions while driving.
In April 2013, Garmin announced that it had been selected by Daimler AG as the supplier of navigation systems for future Mercedes-Benz models. Garmin's award-winning navigators will be fully integrated with Mercedes-Benz in-vehicle systems over the next four years.
Garmin's Automotive OEM leverages the company's extensive experience in the development of interfaces and devices for the automotive, aviation and marine segments to develop innovative on-board systems that integrate navigation, telecommunications, information and multimedia solutions. Garmin's wide range of on-board electronics for the automotive industry includes entertainment and information systems, telecommunications, navigation software, location services and integrated navigation systems.
