About the Pioneer car navigation app “COCCHi”
Pioneer began offering its smartphone-only car navigation app “COCCHi” for Android and iOS on September 21, 2023. Two plans are available: a “basic plan” for 350 yen per month (first month free) and a “free plan” with limited functionality.
“COCCHi” is a service that provides navigation functions as a smartphone app that utilizes Pioneer’s advanced routing technology and driving history data. It is equipped with highly accurate navigation functions, including high-quality route search and guidance that take into account road width, number of lanes, number of traffic lights, and ease of turning at intersections, as well as a driver assistance function that supports problems and issues while driving. By visualizing CO2 emissions and gasoline costs, it encourages environmentally conscious efforts such as economical route selection and eco-driving.
Utilizing Piomatix, a proprietary mobility AI platform that creates a new driving experience through multiple AI technologies and a voice interface, updates will be made sequentially, adding navigation and service functions that only a car navigation manufacturer can offer, eliminating driving stress for as many drivers as possible, from those with driving anxiety to professional drivers, and supporting comfortable and safe driving.
Best Navigation
The system utilizes advanced routing technology, highly accurate travel time estimation, and other expertise as a car navigation manufacturer to provide accurate and detailed navigation with easy-to-understand voice guidance. Route search methods can be specified from three options: “fast arrival,” “low cost,” and “wide roads,” allowing users to select the route that best suits their needs from multiple options, while also achieving high visibility and ease of use.
Real-time prediction and information provision
Utilizing proprietary probe data and real-time information, the system provides highly accurate arrival time predictions, calculates departure times, and re-proposes routes that take into account traffic congestion that occurs during driving.
Driver Assist
The car is equipped with an assist function that can help with any problems you may encounter while driving, such as searching for parking lots and toilet facilities, checking traffic congestion information, and switching to parallel roads, all by simply pressing the help button.
Notification of speed camera information
The location of Orbis cameras is displayed based on nationwide Orbis information. When you approach an Orbis camera, you will be guided by a map and voice guidance to encourage safe driving.
CarPlay/Android Auto compatible
Compatible with CarPlay/Android Auto, it allows you to display and directly operate smartphone app screens on the large screen of your in-car device.
Visualize CO2 emissions and gasoline costs
Based on log data obtained from driving history, CO2 emissions and gasoline costs are visualized, and by reflecting on one’s own driving, it encourages driving that is kind to both the environment and one’s wallet.
Who would you recommend the Pioneer car navigation app “COCCHi” to?
COCCHi is ideal for people who purchased a new car but were unable to purchase a Pioneer product because display audio has become standard, people who want to display their preferred navigation system in a company car, and people who want to use their preferred navigation system even when renting a car.
