Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com September 26 news, today, Amap officially announced the completion of the research and development of the navigation engine "horizon", and based on this launch of the next generation navigation product-Amap v12.

According to reports, "Horizon" is a new navigation engine developed around visual experience, which aims to transform the original "plane map" form into a "digital world" through digital twinning, artificial intelligence and other technologies. Equipped with the new navigation engine, Amap V12 includes functions such as immersion navigation, 3D horizon, digital navigator and so on.

From now on, after updating Amap's App to the latest version, users will be able to experience the next-generation navigation products. By searching for "next-generation navigation" in App, you can check whether the mobile phone model you are using supports the above product features.

Sun Chong, product manager of Amap, has learned that vision is the most important sense for users to obtain navigation information, so compared with the previous generation, the core direction of change in the next generation of navigation should also be at the visual level. "in addition to meeting the needs of 'seeing is believing', it is also necessary for users to understand in seconds, which will become the standard of the next generation of navigation services."

Based on the horizon engine, Amap V12 has created a digital world that is completely different from the previous "plane map", completing twin reproduction-including information about the city's roads and surrounding environment, including the specific number of lanes, markings, traffic lights and buildings, which are presented in the product in a three-dimensional scientific and technological model and guided by dynamic arrows and lanes for more detailed guidance.

In terms of perspective, navigation has always been a fixed overlooking perspective, which is not conducive to users to identify the fork in front of users in complex sections such as overpasses. In the process of immersion navigation, based on the AI dynamic vision technology for driver human factor engineering, Gaud can dynamically adjust the navigation screen closer to the driving perspective according to the current position and road shape.

In addition, other road and surrounding information and details that have nothing to do with travel are filtered or weakened in the next generation of navigation products. It is reported that Gaode immersion navigation service has first been launched in Beijing, and will continue to cover more cities. In addition to navigation, users can activate the "3D horizon" by opening the "3D layer" on the App, including more three-dimensional and vivid weather, building roads, natural environment and urban landmarks.

According to reports, the 3D horizon uses City-Model technology to realize automatic three-dimensional modeling of building roads, natural environment, urban landmarks and other elements in a batch and on a large scale, and is also projected into Amap with some choice. In addition, Gao de also applies the World-Rending gamification engine ability to the map for the first time, which can achieve the visual effect of interlacing light and shadow on dominant elements such as urban landmarks, and can also switch to "3D night view" mode.

At present, based on the horizon engine, Amap has achieved complete 3D horizon capabilities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Chengdu and Shenzhen, and launched a "3D layer" in most cities across the country, achieving some 3D horizon effects. In addition to browsing the natural scenery and urban landmarks, the 3D horizon also provides the display function of life services such as shopping malls and commercial streets.

In addition, Gao de also launched the "Xiao Gao teacher", the first digital navigator with a visual image. According to reports, as the first digital person launched by Amap, Xiao Gao will appear in the core scene of travel navigation.

During the navigation journey, Mr. Xiao Gao can provide intelligent scene question and answer service. For example, the destination query, weather, traffic restrictions and other travel information query, but also at any time along the way to search gas stations, bathrooms and other key locations, but also to achieve "priority highway", "priority road" and other route preference switch at any time. In addition, she can intelligently identify traffic events and changes, such as road closures, congestion, frequent accidents, service areas, and inform users in advance. From now on, Mr. Xiao Gao, the digital navigator, has been officially launched, and users can choose to enable it in the latest Amap v12 "Voice Settings".
