Navigation is one of the necessary functions of a car stereo. It offers real-time GPS navigation, traffic, and transit info, and explore local neighborhoods by knowing where to eat, drink and go. With navigation, you just need to see the car stereo screen instead of the small screen on your smartphone. So you can still concentrate on your road while driving.
Pumpkin car stereos support many navigation systems, such as Google Maps, Waze, Garmin, iGo, Sygic, etc.
Google Maps is a usual application developed by Google. It offers satellite imagery, aerial photography, street maps, 360° interactive panoramic views of streets (Street View), real-time traffic conditions, and route planning for traveling by foot, car, bicycle and air (in beta), or public transportation. To get easy, it adds “Ok Google” voice command activation for hands-free directions. This is very helpful especially when driving. Pumpkin head units also support the google maps voice control.
To use the Google Maps voice control feature on the head units, you need to pair your mobile phones to your vehicles. Generally, Bluetooth and AutoPlay dongle are the two different kinds of connections. After connection, you can open the navigation and start to use the voice control to the app to take you somewhere.
Rotating screen is used heavily on laptops, DVD players, phones, etc. But it is also used on head unit now. The main advantage of the rotating screen is its adjustable viewing angle design. It makes the screen can be freely rotated to effectively to avoid screen glare and makes this cost-effective car stereo more splendid by offering clearer, consistent images from all viewing angles in stable response time and without bringing lighten or tailing when being touched. Pumpkin has released two kinds of rotating screen head units, one is 1 din head unit, another is 2 din.
