Navigation & Infotainment Package

The "Navigation Plus" service enables you to use your My Porsche App (“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, 

• 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), 

• 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 in the App and in your vehicle's PCM (Porsche Communication Management, the central control unit for audio, navigation and communication services). These destinations and routes are synchronized between your vehicle's PCM and the App when you pair your device.  

When you select the service in your vehicle, the PCM initially registers with our system using the vehicle identification number. If you select the service via the 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. 

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 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 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 may be transmitted from your vehicle to a service provider without any personal information to be used to improve the service.  We use service providers to provide the sub-functions of Navigation Plus.

Activating private mode means that the online functionalities of the service are no longer available.
