"Together with Samsung we're transforming how millions of
drivers navigate their world," said INRIX President and CEO
Bryan Mistele. "We look forward to
extending to S6 owners the time and money-saving benefits Note
owners have come to expect from INRIX on their mobile devices."
INRIX real-time traffic and travel time insight powers several
apps and services designed to help Galaxy S6 owners save time, fuel
and avoid frustration every day including:
- "Car Mode." By downloading and installing Car Mode on
their device, consumers can set their S6 to automatically switch to
a driver friendly user interface that uses voice controls and
larger, crisper fonts and button sizes to make it easier to get
up-to-the-minute traffic information, place and receive calls,
listen to messages and play music on the road. Car mode provides
real-time traffic maps showing the best routes, travel times and
ETAs to home and work. Continuously monitoring conditions on the
driver's route throughout their journey, car mode also provides
voice alerts to drivers about accidents and other incidents in
enough time to avoid delays as well as access to real-time insight
into the closest available off-street parking and least expensive
place to refuel.
- "My Places" Widget. Samsung's My Places widget provides
Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge owners with 'glance and go' insight into the
best route, travel time and ETA from their current location to home
and to work.
