Pioneer and ViaMichelin team up for NavGate

Upmarket audio manufacturer and erstwhile purveyor of lauded television sets Pioneer have announced a partnership with route planning service ViaMichelin. From the ViaMichelin service you can now export your route to your Pioneer NavGate GPS, joining other luminaries of the GPS world such as Garmin, Tom Tom and Navman. It’s a relatively simple process of searching the ViaMichelin for a destination and then exporting the details from the site to the NavGate’s SD card which shows up as a feed on the device in-car.

The NavGate software will add this function to your currently installed software via an update and Pioneer claim that the ViaMichelin feeds are available for all Europe.

Pioneer has helpfully provided a short video to explain the process.
