• Advanced Lane Guidance provides enhanced lane graphics that show which lane to take in complex multi-lane situations.
• Quick GPSfix automatically updates satellite locations to get the driver on their way faster.
• MapShare from TomTom and its enormous navigation community enables drivers to correct their maps and benefit from changes made by other drivers via your computer and the free software TomTom HOME.
• More than 6 million points of interest including gas stations, restaurants, hotels, hospitals and more.

When listening to a connected device, the music playback screen will display all song metadata and album artwork.

On the audio front, the new XNV-770BT features multi-channel playback with Center Speaker Organizer (CSO), creating virtual 5.1 channel surround sound throughout the car.
