Ferrari's navigation system did not survive competition from Apple and Google

Ferrari will completely remove its own navigation system from cars. The Italians felt that it was more convenient for drivers to use maps via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto

This innovation will apply not only to the new Purosangue and 12Cilindri, but also to other models with the function of updating the operating system via the Internet. According to the brand’s chief marketer Emanuel Carando, navigation, which works via a smartphone and transmits an image to the display of a multimedia system, is “the most convenient and modern.” Due to the fact that Apple and Google maps are constantly updated, drivers often prefer them instead of built-in maps in the car.

Today, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto systems can be said to be mandatory functions on a modern car. Their functionality allows you to expand the capabilities of the car’s multimedia system using a personal smartphone. But not all automakers support this. For example, General Motors plans to completely abandon Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in favor of its own systems.
