CHICAGO – XM announced that the 2009 Chevrolet Traverse, unveiled Wednesday at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show, will be the first Chevrolet vehicle to offer XM NavTraffic as a factory-installed feature.
XM NavTraffic, XM?s real-time traffic information service, will be available on Traverse vehicles equipped with navigation. XM Radio will be standard on the 2009 Traverse.
Now available in 80 major U.S. markets, XM NavTraffic feeds data on incidents, such as accidents and road construction, directly to a vehicle?s GPS navigation system via XM?s nationwide satellite broadcast system. The driver is alerted to these incidents through the vehicle?s navigation screen, allowing him or her to route around a jam before getting caught in traffic. XM NavTraffic also provides information on traffic flow where available. This allows users to view a color-coded overlay that indicates the average speed of travel along the driver’s planned route.
XM NavTraffic, powered by NAVTEQ Corporation, is already a standard, factory-installed feature on the Cadillac CTS and Cadillac CTS-V.
