Welcome to the Telematics Forum
From Wikipedia: Vehicle telematics
Vehicle telematics systems may be used for a number of purposes, including collecting road tolls, managing road usage (the United States Department of Transportation intelligent transportation system), tracking fleet vehicle locations, recovering stolen vehicles, providing automatic collision notification, and providing location-driven driver information services. Vehicle telematics systems are also increasingly being used to provide remote diagnostics; a vehicle's in-built systems will identify a mechanical or electronic problem, and the telematics package will automatically make this information known to the vehicle manufacturer and service organisation. Other forthcoming applications include on-demand navigation, audio and audio-visual entertainment content. The etymology of telematics, as determined by author and academic Dennis Foy, is from the Latin tele~ (far off, especially in relation to the process of producing or recording) and ~Matos (a derivative of the Gk machinari, or contrivance, usually taken in this context to mean 'of its own accord') which combine in the term telematics to offer a means of describing the process of long-distance transmission of computer-based information.<ul><li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telematics">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telematics</a</li></ul>

cool. I'll have to start posting some of my content from the C5 A6 community over here. :)
I still think we should have a Nav forum...but then again...www.navplus.us already has a strong following.<ul><li><a href="http://www.navplus.us">http://www.navplus.us</a</li></ul>
