Navigation & Infotainment Package

The "Navigation Plus" service enables you to use your Porsche App or your vehicle's mobile phone connection to

• retrieve current or forecast navigation and traffic information along your route based on your previous destinations and routes (navigation),

• use real-time traffic information to display the current traffic situation on your route (real-time traffic),

• add current satellite aerial photos to your navigation map (satellite map),

• display any available street view images of a selected destination when searching for addresses (panoramic view),

• retrieve and anticipate alternative routes for frequently made journeys without active navigation (Personal Routes) or

• update your navigation map incrementally on the basis of your current location and active route guidance (online map update).

In addition, you can also use the "Navigation" sub-function seamlessly across all output devices.

For the "Navigation" sub-function, you can select, enter and save destinations and routes in the Porsche Connect App and in your vehicle's PCM. These destinations and routes are synchronised between your vehicle's PCM and the Porsche App when you pair your device. If the "Personal Routes" function is activated in your vehicle's PCM, your vehicle's PCM can save destinations and routes and anticipate possible future destinations based on previous destinations and routes in order to identify up-to-date navigation and traffic information for the anticipated route (Personal Routes).

When you select the service in your vehicle, PCM (Porsche Communication Management, the central control unit for audio, navigation and communication services) initially registers with our system using the vehicle identification number.

If you select the service via the Porsche App, you register with your Porsche ID.

We require this information in order to assign your vehicle to your user account and to allow us to check that you are entitled to use the service.

After the connection has been established, to determine the information you requested, depending on the sub-function;

• for navigation, the current location, the current speed, the current direction of travel and, where applicable, active or forecast navigation destinations and the associated route guidance,

• for real-time traffic, the current location, the current speed and the current direction of travel

• for satellite maps, your current map section based on the location of your vehicle and, if applicable, the other map sections along your route,

• for panoramic views, the location information for your request, e.g. transfer the result of your POI search from the PCM of your vehicle directly to the servers of the service providers.

The data transmitted is used to determine the information you have requested. The information is then assigned to your vehicle by our system and transferred to your vehicle's PCM.

Your data will be stored for the duration of the query for this purpose and will then be deleted.

If you use the Porsche App for the request, the location of your device will be used instead of your vehicle location and the search results will be transferred to the Porsche App.

For the Online Map Update sub-function, the servers of the service providers establish the map version currently used by your navigation system and the region to be updated, and check whether any new map material is available. If new map material is available this is incrementally transmitted directly from the external service provider servers to your navigation system.

In addition, the aforementioned information transmitted from your vehicle to service provider without any personal information can be used to improve the service or contribute to the services database.

We use service providers commissioned by Porsche to provide the sub-functions of Navigation Plus. Please note that the servers of the service providers on which data is processed in the course of the service may also be located outside the European Union or the European Economic Area.

You always have the option of deactivating the service in the system settings of your PCM. There is also the option of deactivating the service as part of the whole "Services with geolocation" service group.

The functionality of the service may be limited or no longer available after performing general deactivation in the system settings.

Using the Weather service, it is possible to view the weather situation at the current location, the active destination or a stored favourite location. In order to use the weather favourites function, the customer must log into the service in the vehicle with their Porsche ID.   

When you select the service in the vehicle, the PCM (Porsche Communication Management) initially logs into our system using your vehicle identification number.Alternatively, it is possible to use the Weather Service without logging into your account (as a guest, but the favourites functionality is not available to guests).    

To enable a connection to be established to your vehicle's PCM, a time-limited authentication key is exchanged between our systems and your vehicle's PCM. 

We require this information in order to assign your vehicle to your user account and to allow us to check that you are entitled to use the service.   

In addition, we also use this information together with the time at which the service was accessed (timestamp) for the purpose of creating a database for anonymised usage statistics. We store the information for a period of 12 months for this purpose.   

In order to access the weather at the current location, destination and favourites location, a list of cities and coordinates is transferred from your vehicle to the content provider after the connection has been established. Information about the weather at the above-mentioned locations is retrieved on the basis of the transmitted data. The list of favourites with city name and coordinates is then stored in our system under the Porsche ID. Your data will be stored in our system for this purpose and deleted when they are manually changed by you.  

In order to search for the weather at a location, the name of the respective city in transmitted from your vehicle via our system to the content provider. The city for which the search is to be performed and the GPS coordinates are transferred with the transmitted data. These results are then transferred to your vehicle in order to be displayed. Your data will not be stored or logged for this purpose.   

In order to display the weather at a requested location, the GPS coordinates are transferred from your vehicle to the content provider without any direct customer reference. The weather data for the GPS coordinates is requested with the transmitted data. These results are then transferred to your vehicle in order to be displayed. Your data will not be stored or logged for this purpose.  

We use service providers commissioned by Porsche for provision of the weather information. Please note that the servers of the service providers on which data is processed in the course of the service may also be located outside Hong Kong, the European Union or the European Economic Area.   

You always have the option of deactivating the service in the system settings of the PCM in your vehicle. In addition, it is also possible there to deactivate the service as part of the overall service group "Location services or data transmission services".  

The functionality of the service may be limited or no longer available after performing general deactivation in the system settings.
