Why a driver assistant now?

Since mobile phones have taken a large share of the routing market for short and infrequent rides, the PND market has been stagnating. Today’s heavy vehicle drivers and professional drivers, including taxis, are unable to find new and inspiring devices that fit their needs.

Munic fills the huge gap in creativity and innovation left by the lack of new PNDs, new hands-free devices and the shortage of in-car app stores in today’s car market.

Munic presents a uniquely successful and efficient integration of 4 core functions: Bluetooth Kit for phone and Music via BT, Speed Camera alerts in markets where this is available, a rich and expanding Marketplace of driver focused services, and a Hybrid Navigation service with live traffic updates tailored to your journey.

 

 

Munic goes further

It redefines what multitasking means in a vehicle device. Munic's creative team was able to develop a very accomplished
User Interface, 100% redesigned with the driver in mind.

So, all the services are linked with each other to minimize the number of interactions.
For example, a search result on a 3rd party app becomes a destination in one click.

Ongoing tests with a panel of drivers and the initial feedback from the specialized distributors confirm that this product is a winner. They like it because it is unique, innovating and beautifully designed.

 

 

A real Appstore platform for the vehicle market

With Munic, you finally see a marketplace of services specifically designed for the driver in a compact connected driver assistant. Today the French version of Munic includes, by default, Weather, Parking, Fuel prices, Local search and personal directory. But with Morpheus architecture, adding a new content provider is easy and very fast.

 

Instantly adaptable multipurpose white label device

Munic epitomizes Mobile Devices' innovation. The device is unmatched in its ability to transform rapidly into the driver assistant you need for your market. Here are a few of the features that make Munic a potential leader where you are:

  • Hybrid Navigation can run on any base map.
  • Full Hands-free Kit is embedded for voice and music via Bluetooth.
  • 4 languages are supported today for announcements or fuzzy search, many more are coming.
  • 3rd party driver services benefit hugely from the Morpheus open application platform and its SDK, making creating a new app for Munic simple and quick.
  • And with its 5 physical programmable buttons, you can immediately re-target the device along the service to prioritise in your market.
