Enhanced speed camera information! Voice guidance supports safe driving

To support safe driving, the speed camera-related functions have also been enhanced. In addition to the conventional fixed speed camera display, the app now also supports semi-fixed speed cameras. Furthermore, with the “Basic Plan,” voice guidance will be provided to notify you when you are approaching a speed camera location, supporting safer driving.

A must-see for business people! Improve efficiency with schedule management features

One thing to note about this update is the addition of the “Work Option” to the “Basic Plan.” This option allows you to create visit plans and manage your schedule all within the app, making it a very convenient tool for business people who use their cars for work, such as when making sales calls.

Simply enter the destination, desired arrival time, and start and end times to automatically create an optimal visit schedule that takes travel time into consideration. The display color changes depending on the time until arrival, making it easy to adjust the schedule. In addition, if you add a new destination after creating a schedule, the app will suggest available time slots, allowing you to flexibly accommodate changes in plans.

In addition, it has a function that notifies you with a pop-up 10 minutes before departure, and a function that displays the possibility of delays if you are likely to be late for an appointment due to traffic congestion, etc. There is also a function that allows you to leave notes for each visit, so you can record information that will be useful the next time you visit.

The “Work Option” costs 300 yen per month, and together with the “Basic Plan” costing 350 yen per month, it can be used for a total of 650 yen per month. Furthermore, it can also be combined with the “Zenrin Residential Map Option,” in which case the monthly cost will be 1,700 yen.

A more comfortable and safe driving experience

Pioneer will continue to evolve COCCHi’s functions while reflecting user feedback, in order to provide a more comfortable and safe driving experience to more drivers.
