Mitsubishi Motors Launches Restyled Eclipse Cross with TomTom Connected Navigation
10 December 2020 - 5:00PM
TomTom (TOM2), the leading independent location technology
specialist, today announced that its full stack of navigation
components – maps, connected navigation, and real-time traffic
services – has been chosen by Mitsubishi Motors to power the new
Eclipse Cross’ infotainment system. The restyled SUV is the latest
Mitsubishi model to be equipped with TomTom’s automotive-grade
solution; other models include the Outlander, the ASX/Outlander
Sport/RVR, and the Pajero Sport.
The new Eclipse Cross features an industry-first
functionality in built-in navigation. TomTom teamed up with
what3words to bring its innovative addressing technology to
Mitsubishi drivers around the world, even when offline. No app,
data or cellular connection is required to input or navigate to a
what3words address. what3words complements TomTom’s maps perfectly,
allowing people to find any location and navigate to it quickly and
easily. The world is divided into a grid of 3m x 3m squares and
each square is assigned a unique three-word address. For example,
the address for the top of Times Square’s Red Steps, New York City,
is ///crab.ticket.dive.
“We are delighted to extend our deal with
Mitsubishi, satisfying more of their drivers around the world with
our leading location technologies,” said Antoine Saucier, Managing
Director, TomTom Automotive. “Our collaboration with what3words in
the new Eclipse Cross is yet another example of our pioneering
efforts in in-vehicle navigation and continued commitment to
providing easy-to-use solutions to drivers everywhere.”
Minoru Uehara, Chief Product Specialist of
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, said: “TomTom continues to enhance
Mitsubishi drivers’ experience around the world. The what3words
addressing technology, combined with TomTom’s ever reliable
navigation, maps and traffic, ensures that Eclipse Cross drivers
will get to where they want to go with ease.”
Clare Jones, CCO of what3words, added, “We are
thrilled with our collaboration with TomTom, and excited for
Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross customers. They’ll benefit from a
groundbreaking technology which will enable them to find and
navigate to any address they choose in the world even when
completely offline.”
