The Scout GPS navigation app has been updated with hands-free voice commands.
Features:
•
Do more with less hassle—The personal commute dashboard is updated in
real time with the most relevant local info. See your traffic-based
commute times and current traffic flows, with zero tapping needed. And
with just a tap, find your recent and favorite destinations, discover
nearby places like restaurants and cheap gas stations, and get
turn-by-turn navigation to home and work.
• NEW! No typing necessary—Yes, that’s right! Just say “Hey Scout!” to activate voice commands to search and drive to places.
•
NEW! Stay connected wherever you go--Log in with Facebook to sync your
favorites, recents and settings across multiple devices.
• Find
anything fast—Scout’s OneBox search has faster and more intelligent
autocomplete for better, relevant, and easier-to-read results. And you
can now search without typing by saying “Hey Scout!”
• Beat
traffic—Scout gives you the most efficient routes with the least amount
of traffic, one-tap adaptive rerouting to avoid jams, street-level
traffic views for major roads and side streets, live alerts to help you
navigate around upcoming traffic incidents and police speed traps,
turn-by-turn traffic summary for your route, and more!
• Always
have the best route—In addition to multiple routes to choose from, Scout
uses Adaptive Routing to look out for time-saving and traffic-beating
options as you drive and lets you switch with one tap if a better route
is available or to avoid an incident.
• Help others beat traffic
too—Report traffic congestion, police, road hazards, and accidents with a
simple tap to help you fellow Scout drivers avoid gridlock or being
pulled over.
• Get free voice guidance—Scout guides you to your
destination with free turn-by-turn, voice navigation and also listens to
your voice commands to search or drive, so you can enjoy the journey
hands free and without distractions.
• No more “where are you??”
texts—Scout lets others know when you’ll be there and lets them follow
your real-time progress on a map with OnMyWay® ETA-sharing.
•
Discover the local weekend scene—Find places to go and things to do like
live music, bars, shows, family events, sports, movies, and more. Plan
online at www.scout.me and sync your favorites between the site and the
app.
• Find your friends in Scout and share places and events with them through email, SMS, Facebook, and Twitter.
