Which navigation software is best to use?

Everyone uses maps every day. Do you use Gaode map or Baidu map? I believe this is a topic that many people will encounter.

In fact, on most urban roads, the performance of the two companies is half a catty. After all, the electronic map has been around for 20 years, and the basic service is not a big problem. However, in some complex scenes, such as whether the real-time road conditions are accurate enough, whether the guidance of complex intersections is fine enough, and whether the car experience is convenient enough, it shows the professional gap. This is also the reason why I firmly chose the map of Gaode after running for many years.

Who is more accurate in real-time road conditions?

Everyone goes out every day just to commute. Actually, the routes are familiar. Why do you have to drive and navigate? One is an electronic eye, and the other is real-time road conditions. Where is the traffic jam today? Are there any sudden traffic accidents on the road? These are what most people want to know when they go out.

Especially in September, Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, the roads are the most blocked this month every year.

Whose real-time traffic data is more accurate? I've seen it many times. There are many traffic jams on the road. Gaode shows red, but Baidu map is still green. If there is a serious traffic jam, I usually take a detour. The road conditions are not allowed, which is particularly delayed.

Why is the road not allowed? We need to talk about the implementation principle first. I believe everyone knows that real-time road conditions are intelligently calculated through traffic big data. To put it bluntly, if there are many vehicles on the road and the driving speed is slow, the map will determine the road congestion. The problem is that if all the car owners on the road use map A, there will be more samples and more users in map A, and the road data will be more accurate, while map B thinks that there are no cars on the road, of course, it will still be displayed in green by mistake. This is an easy truth to understand.

According to the data of industry statistics institutions, the number of users of Gaode Map has opened Baidu Map. Therefore, it is not surprising that Gaode's real-time traffic information is more accurate than Baidu map.

In addition, Gao De launched a small function last year, which is particularly practical. When there is a serious traffic jam on the road, Gao De will display a bubble or a scene map on the road. Click on it to enter a window named "Traffic Reality". Interestingly, friends trapped in this place can send messages and photos, such as what happened ahead, why there was a traffic jam, whether there was an accident, or repairing roads, whether in the inner lane or the outer lane ... the traffic police arrived, what happened, and information synchronization.

This is particularly practical because there is no other place to tell us why there is a traffic jam. Some time ago, I wanted to leave Beijing for Beijing and pass the checkpoint. Because epidemic prevention and control requires testing and nucleic acid, there are often long queues. I always click on this traffic window to read information, and the motorists' club will remind me what to check. If you are not completely ready, turn around and stop waiting in line.

An innovative function point. There is no need to block the road at ordinary times. Blocking the road is a lifesaver. Of course, Baidu Map has no similar function until now.

Who gave more detailed instructions at complex intersections?

Nowadays, many intersections or overpasses are becoming more and more complicated. Even if the old driver doesn't see the road sign at first sight, he may turn off the engine. It is common to waste half a day if there is a serious traffic jam during rush hour. The guidance of these complex intersections truly reflects the professionalism of map navigation.

Before going to a complicated intersection, Gao De usually shows a big picture of the intersection, and you will know which direction you are going. In addition, Gao De's guidance at the crossroads is particularly humanized. For example, turn right at the second intersection ahead. There are five lanes at present. Gaode will guide you to take four straight lanes on the left side of the current intersection, and the rightmost lane is displayed in gray. Because the second intersection is about to turn right, Gaode will also highlight the straight lane on the right, so that you can turn right ahead of time and go straight without emergency merging.

There are even cooler things. High-tech lane-level navigation can be used on expressways in some cities. How many lanes are there on this road? Which lane is your car in? Lane-level navigation and guidance, it is difficult to open the wrong intersection! Lane navigation is definitely the future trend. Now, Gaode only supports some flagship new mobile phones and some cities. I believe it will be gradually promoted in the future. Baidu map also claims to be online, but it has never been seen.

AR live navigation is also helpful for many people who can't read maps. It can put the 3D direction on the real road picture, and it is clear at a glance when to change lanes and which intersection to turn to. At present, Baidu map is online with AR walking navigation, and Gaode map is online with AR driving navigation and AR walking navigation. This function is only available in millions of luxury cars, and now it is also very popular in mobile phones.

Among them, Gaode AR walking navigation has a very intimate functional design. When walking navigation is used, you can automatically enter the AR navigation mode by erecting your mobile phone, and a 3D guide sign will appear on the road screen. When you put your phone flat, you can seamlessly switch to the traditional map navigation mode. Many people are in strange places, don't know the direction, put away their mobile phones, and intuitively know how to turn. Although I am not a "road idiot", I often use it like this.

What kind of car experience is the best?

When driving everyday, I like to connect CarPlay with my mobile phone. The large screen in the car makes it more comfortable to watch and more convenient to listen to music. Many friends around me also use it like this. Both mobile phones are relatively mature. If you project your mobile phone into the car, the experience will be good, especially testing the intentions of map merchants.

Gaode Baidu supports CarPlay function, which I used. To tell the truth, the experience of Gaode map is not a little better than others. Give two details.

Apple's CarPlay system only supports Apple's Siri in the voice assistant, and "Xiaode" and "Xiaodu" cannot be used directly. After the upgrade, Gao De realized this. Everyone who drives knows how troublesome it is to search for a location on the bus. Now it is convenient and safe to wake up "Hello Dede" directly to change the destination and search for gas stations along the way.

Many vehicles are very old and don't support touch screens like new cars. They still use knobs or physical keys to operate, and it takes half a day to move a map. After Gao De was upgraded, the problem was solved. The mobile phone remote control is introduced, and the touch panel function is increased. By sliding and zooming the phone, you can remotely control the big screen of the car and easily drag and zoom the map. Click "View All" to switch to other routes.

It can be said that Gaode CarPlay has basically made car navigation control catch up with the experience of mobile phone map. You know, a lot of cars in China have been bought for several years, and they are not connected to the internet, so it is inconvenient to operate. Gaode continued to optimize the CarPlay function and really helped these car owners.

Can the demand for personalized maps be met?

I use a lot of maps because I often go out. Many times I feel that the current map still can't meet the demand. For example, I often go to road trip with my friends, and everyone will share their beautiful routes and scenic spots with each other. Send it to friends one by one before, or use other raiders apps to make a good route. But if a friend wants to navigate, he still needs to find the place again on the map, which is very troublesome.

Recently, Gaud launched the DIY map function, which is simply tailored for us. You can mark more than n locations, customize your driving route, and send photos of the locations. The completed route can be directly shared with friends, and he can navigate the whole journey with one click. Don't be too convenient

Having said so much, it's still the same sentence. Each has his own love. Going out every day is basically like this. Apart from some majors, I have my own choices, and I believe you have your own choices.
