Many modern cruisers are fitted with a myriad of fancy gadgets that bring luxury appeal to just about any vehicle. One of these in particular is Uconnect Navigation available for Chrysler, Dodge, FIAT, Jeep, and Ram models. This feature uses advanced GPS technology, audible directions for turn-by-turn assistance, and a user-friendly interface designed for effortless traveling. With that in mind, here are four ways you can get more out of your Uconnect system. Interactive Touchscreen Display Uconnect's touchscreen is the central hub for everything you need to navigate around. From here you can access the “Where To?” screen and type in a desired address, track your recent inputs, check your favorite places, and locate points of interest. You can also use the One-Step Voice Destination Entry feature for hands-free convenience. As you start your route, you'll be gifted with audio directions, precise vehicle map positioning via sensor-assisted GPS, and 3D graphics with detailed city, terrain, and landmark views. more Voice-Activated Features Whether you're heading home or traveling afar, your main priority is staying focused on the path ahead. Fortunately, Uconnect Navigation lets you easily access directions to your destination via voice command. But finding your desired route isn't the only thing you can control hands-free. Use your voice to manage your music playlist, adjust the radio station, or make a call, all without taking your focus off the road or your hands off the steering wheel. SiriusXM Traffic Plus and Travel Link Services You might be able to avoid traffic if you drive early in the morning or late into the evening, but most times it's inevitable. Instead of getting caught up in the mess, avoid the congestion of rush hour with Uconnect's SiriusXM Traffic Plus and Travel Link services. The former offers a detailed report of road closures, construction sites, accident sightings, and even your vehicle's traffic speed. The latter is also helpful in getting you to your destination quickly and safely, especially during a road trip. Travel Link brings up daily forecasts, major storm alerts, and weather maps to help you steer clear of potential dangers. It's also handy when navigating around town, as it keeps you up to date with local fuel rates, movie theater showings, and sports reports. Uconnect Access This feature helps you get to where you need to go with ease since it can be managed from the Uconnect Access mobile app. It lets you enjoy perks like Send ‘n Go, a system where you can search for destinations on your smartphone and then transfer the data to your Uconnect touchscreen for later use. Uconnect Access also helps in emergency situations thanks to features like 911 Call, Roadside Assistance, and Vehicle Health Alert. If you ever lose sight of your car, Vehicle Finder and Stolen Vehicle Assistance can easily be activated right from your mobile device.
