Navigation is central to the TomTom Digital Cockpit experience. It is built on top of
TomTom Navigation for Automotive.

Media
Entertainment plays an important part in users’ digital life and is the most used function of
infotainment systems. TomTom Digital Cockpit provides a way for the user to browse and stream any audio
source including media sources such as radio stations, music streaming services, podcasts and audio
books.

Vehicle Functions
TomTom Digital Cockpit can show the state of the vehicle and allows users to interact with it. Whether it is
controlling the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) of the vehicle, seeing the
temperature of the oil, or opening a window, TomTom Digital Cockpit provides the means to give drivers full
control over their vehicle.
Vehicle Functions
Communications
Users expect communication, instant messaging, media consumption, social networking, and
location-based services to be usable anywhere and anytime. TomTom Digital Cockpit provides a seamless
connection to the users’ digital life, whether it is a phone call or replying to instant messages
that arrive while driving.
Communications
Voice Personal Assistant (VPA)
TomTom Digital Cockpit allows the integration of 3rd-party voice engines to support voice personal assistants
(VPAs) in the vehicle. A generalized interface enables the customer to speak commands and reply to
system queries by voice. For example, the user can ask the system to make a phone call or find a
nearby hospital by talking.

Configuration Framework
Branding is important, which is why TomTom Digital Cockpit provides the means to customize its look. Colors,
margins, sizes, and fonts can all be changed by applying a different theme. TomTom Digital Cockpit also
supplies a set of UI controls that share a look-and-feel and adhere to the theme, such that the
user can have a seamless UI experience.
Configuration Framework
Settings Framework
It may be important to remember some of the state of your service or frontend. The user expects some
continuity when relaunching an app, and a consistent state between road trips. TomTom Digital Cockpit
facilitates that by providing a settings service where you can store and retrieve your setting
values in a type-safe manner.
Settings Framework
User Profiles
Customization plays an important role in an infotainment system. Users expect the ability to
customize their experience by setting up their environment based on their preferences. TomTom Digital Cockpit
provides user profile management functionalities which make all this possible.

In-Vehicle Charging
In-Vehicle Charging, specifically EV (electric vehicle) charging, plays an important role in the
future of the Automotive industry. TomTom aims to reduce this complexity for EV drivers by offering
an integrated solution for planning an optimal route that takes into account the charging needs of
the car.
