Tech-thirsty drivers should be able to get their fill in the app-packed 2017 Subaru Impreza. Subaru has outfitted the sporty, bestseller with eight new cloud-based apps, which include Magellan NAVI, eBird, Best Parking, YELP, Glympse, RightTrack, Tweddle Quick Reference Guide and “eventseeker” by Wcities. The sought-after apps work through the Subaru’s STARLINK multimedia system and in conjunction with a smartphone.
- Free for three years, the Magelllan Navi helps drivers navigate roadways by providing up-to-date directions, maps and routing services.
- Birdwatchers will love the eBird app; it can direct you to bird sightings with the press of a button. The app uses a database that houses millions of bird sightings to help you find birds in real time all across the U.S.
- Make your parking woes a thing of the past with the Best Parking app. It helps drivers find short- and long-term parking spots in 105 cities and 115 airports throughout the USA.
- Next up is the ultra-popular Yelp app, which provides information on restaurants, shops and various other businesses.
- Glympse lets drivers share information about their location, destination and estimated time of arrival with family and friends in real time.
- The RightTrack Test Drive app offers advice on how to improve driving to reduce insurance premiums.
- The Quick Reference Guide is an electronic version of quick reference guides that are in all new Subarus.
- Finally, “eventseeker,” as its name suggests, helps customers learn about events going on in their areas.
