Driving Apps? There's one for that!


No matter what your desire for the right information at the right time...it would seem,  "There's an app for that."  Of course there is.  And we've just scratched the surface haven't we.

And Honda, in it's characteristic mode to always be the best, by default provides a form of 'one stop shopping' in it's delivery of HondaLink.  With every new 2013 Accord EX-L and above the capability is there, ready for every driver to tap into.  The car becomes  a technomechanical information mobility pod that is designed to keep you connected.  What started as a series of enablilng technologies has certainly evolving.  I suppose broadcast radio technology was the first modern entry with Amplitude Modulation. (ok..I'll forego mention of 'smoke signals' and 'telegraphy)  Then there was a vast lull from the days of AM radio to the next generation of connectivity.  FM radio(circa 1948), then came cellular technology, then satellite and now we've gone full circle.  With greater bandwidth the Accord now is equiped with  voice activated satellite navigation for you not only to calculate a best route from point a to point b, but to alert you to 'realtime traffic' situations, and even to read a book to you as you drive. And to receive and respond to text messages from colleagues, friends, family...with voice, this all, HandsFree, without distraction. The Safety for Everyone commitment is upheld.

Sure there are many apps available, and one might wonder... why should an automobile manufacturer be the clearing house for what keeps you connected in this digital world we 'drive in'?  It's the 21st century manifestation of horizontal technology integration I suppose.   Let's take a look at the products that are avialable and move forward to determine the best mix for your specific needs.  And just how well Honda is doing that job for you.  And what specific trim level provides you with the richest set of tools to stay connected.
