#OPPO##ColorOS 14#
Usually busy with work, there is almost no extra travel time, and now with the passage of time, the Spring Festival is finally just around the corner. In the face of this rare long vacation, some people seize the time to return to their hometown after a long absence, while others take the opportunity to travel and relax. However, the carrying capacity of the road is limited after all, and the traffic load will face many challenges when there are many people traveling. Taking the opportunity of upgrading to ColorOS 14, Car+ has also received a new revision, which not only makes navigation more intuitive and intelligent, but also comes with many entertainment functions to accompany you throughout your journey and help you travel so easily during the Spring Festival.
New revision, personalized settings, double efficiency
The interface of the new version of Car+ has been greatly changed compared with the previous version. Moving the icon buttons from the left to the bottom not only allows more space for navigation information, thus reducing the distraction of too many desktop elements, but also breaks through the limit of up to 4 resident icons, paving the way for more features to be added in the future. The music interface and notification interface have also been revamped at the same time, showing more detailed content and more actionable content. Overall, this revision makes each element have a better home, which can be described as a "win-win" attempt.
However, every system revision is often accompanied by controversy, and there will always be users who are not adaptable, the new Car+ car link not only retains the original version settings, but also adds light/dark mode, wallpaper, lyrics, and early app display mode, which has been greatly improved in personalized settings.
Intelligent navigation - full intervention, intelligent avoidance of congestion
At present, the popular smart car is as full as a smartphone, and real-time navigation is not a problem. However, although the stock car purchased a few years ago is equipped with on-board navigation, a larger screen, and a clearer map display, because the vehicle cannot be connected to the Internet, the map needs to be downloaded and updated by itself, otherwise there may be a situation of "mismatch". Since only satellite navigation can be used, not only may there be a certain delay in positioning, but also the traffic conditions during the holiday journey are changing rapidly.
Because of the real-time networking of mobile phone navigation, as long as the operator maintains it in time, the map is always up-to-date, and there is generally no temporary enclosure of the road, but the navigation still shows the joke of normal traffic. Not only that, if there is an accident, congestion, traffic restriction and other emergencies, it will also give feedback as soon as possible and re-plan the route. However, the disadvantage is that the screen is too small, the display is not intuitive enough, and it needs to be fixed with an additional bracket, which is usually not as convenient as the car machine.
Car navigation and mobile phone navigation have their own advantages and disadvantages, it seems that the fish and the bear's paw can not have both, in fact, not necessarily, "Car+ car link" supports travel navigation, the central control of the car machine is only for display, all networking and computing are carried out through the mobile phone, small screen for large screen, safe and smarter. If the car supports wireless connectivity, it will allow users to get rid of the shackles of wires and connect immediately in the car, and if not, they can also achieve the same function through a third-party wireless adapter box. As long as the speed is greater than 30km/h, it will automatically enter the cruise mode, providing real-time traffic information and road condition prediction, avoiding busy road sections as much as possible, and saving time and energy consumption to the greatest extent. The detailed road conditions can be displayed on the right side of the screen, which can realize lane-level navigation, intuitively display the lanes that can be walked on the current route and the subsequent trend of changing directions, and can even be accurate enough to display the countdown of traffic lights at intersections, helping you drive calmly and avoid safety problems such as running red lights by mistake due to obstructed vision. The prompt information will be enlarged to the appropriate ratio in time, so that users can quickly obtain it. Voice control is also in place at all times, zooming in and out of the map, changing the route, etc. If the operation is complicated, you can also park in a safe place first, switch the screen back to your mobile phone, and then seamlessly switch to the locomotive display when you are ready. Not only enjoy the convenience of the large screen of the car machine, but also enjoy the real-time of the mobile phone, there is almost no shortcoming.
In addition to the full-screen form that can display more navigation information in the front, the car map also has a half-screen form that can accommodate more application elements. Although due to interface adjustments, the map can only be "squeezed" on the left half of the screen, and the latest traffic conditions are "moved" to the upper right corner, which will not have much impact on navigation as a whole, but the vacated content can accommodate schedule reminders and music panels, which is more expandable and functional.
Music – fully compatible, preserved
I believe that many friends have a hobby of listening to songs, there may be a variety of song lists in the mobile phone, the best sound quality, the most variety, the highest degree of love, usually use noise-canceling headphones, and soon be immersed in the world of music, the mood is more pleasant, and the efficiency is higher. However, when driving, you need to see all directions and listen to all directions, of course, you can't do this, if you use a mobile phone to play outside, the sense of hearing may not be at the same level at all. The music of the mobile phone can also be synchronized to the car machine for playback, no matter how bad the effect of the car speaker is, it is not an order of magnitude with the mobile phone, not to mention some models with the main sound quality. Considering the different factory years of the car machine, Car+ car connection is intimately prepared with two transmission channels: Bluetooth and interconnection. If the Bluetooth version of the car machine is higher, the mobile phone can consume less power and transmit high-quality music to ensure the user's sense of hearing; if the Bluetooth version of the car machine is low, the music is easy to be distorted, at this time, the quality of music can be guaranteed through the interconnection channel at the expense of power consumption, through wired or WiFi. Proper music can help drivers relax their minds, relieve fatigue, relieves their mood, relieves anxiety, blocks out wind noise, and avoids "road rage". Of course, it is best to have a moderate volume, not too much, so as not to hear the outside horn and affect safety.
At present, Car+ basically supports mainstream music applications, including self-brought music, QQ music, NetEase cloud music, Migu music, Kugou music, Apple Music, etc., even if it is not supported, it can also be added through the "experience application". Not only will the previous selection difficulties no longer exist, but the cover and lyrics will be displayed to enhance the listening experience of fellow passengers without affecting navigation. All music apps support voice control, and the sound quality of the playlist is king, so just choose the one that suits you. When using the music app in the car, it is best to initialize the settings on the mobile phone first, and if you use the network to listen to songs, it is best to allow the use of data playback. Otherwise, when the car is running, various "warm reminders" may appear. Although you can click on the center screen to confirm, you can always make sure that safety comes first while driving, and you can never go wrong with setting it up in advance.
The function is sufficient, and the journey is often (tasted) fresh
In fact, in addition to listening to music, there are more pastimes to relieve boredom on the trip. In addition to perfectly supporting "Recommended Apps", Car+ also allows you to have more diversified choices during your journey by being compatible with "Experience Apps". Once a user has added a selected app, they can remove it at any time without worrying about deleting the apps and data on their phone.
From winter to spring, the weather is often changeable, even in the same city, there may be "sunrise in the east and rain in the west", not to mention the Spring Festival journey through different cities and regions. Car+ car link can be added by "experience" to add its own weather, due to the early taste, the interface has not been changed for the time being, the basic screen can display key information, and the insufficient part can also be displayed by swiping up. When it is inconvenient for users to operate their mobile phones, they can also quickly understand the local situation, so as to do a good job in logistics such as heat preservation.
Chasing books on the journey is not wrong
Some users are not very interested in listening to songs, but they like to read all kinds of novels, especially the ones that are freshly baked and updated every day, and they can only feel at ease after reading them almost every day. Due to the trip, the original habits were disrupted, and I always felt uncomfortable. In order to meet the needs of this part of the users, Car+ Auto Link deliberately launched early novel applications such as lazy listening to books and tomato listening, as long as the author keeps changing, he will continue to listen to the journey. After selection, the novel will replace the resident music icon, which is easy for users to click at any time. Even when using the novel app in full screen, the lower status bar continues to display brief navigation information to ensure that users don't miss important segments.
Tomato listening and lazy listening books are relatively complete in terms of content classification, novels, cross talk, children, parent-child, radio, etc., if you exclude exclusive exclusive content, no matter which one you choose, you can meet the basic listening needs. At present, the big difference is that Tomato Listening has a special landscape mode, although it has not been optimized in place, and fewer novels and chapters are displayed, but the detailed content looks better and more detailed. The lazy listener temporarily maintains the layout of the mobile phone, if the resolution of the central control screen is low, it will cause some content to be occluded, but it can be solved by swiping up and dragging it. However, for safety reasons, as long as the program is selected, it is basically only listened to and watched during the trip, and not only can you pause and skip chapters through the music playback panel, but also stay in the background. Even if you switch to another app, you won't be able to change gears when you come back. In fact, there will not be much difference between the two, and it can also be used with rich channels, so that both men and women, young and old, can listen to the content that meets their interests, accompany the vehicle through the boring moments on the road, and take easy anytime and anywhere.
