recently, the new version of autonavi map v15 was officially released, with a comprehensive expansion of service scope and a brand-new upgrade of service experience. the beidou satellite navigation and satellite emergency functions exclusively launched by autonavi map this time cover a large number of areas without signals, roads and people, and the 3d map function launched in the new version allows you to see the business district heat, floor guidance and city dynamics at a glance in a microscopic perspective, which also marks that autonavi has become the world's first full-area service map.
it is reported that the new version v15 is based on autonavi map's years of accumulation and precipitation in technology and services. this upgrade has launched six major functions: lane-level navigation, beidou satellite offline navigation, satellite distress, 3d stereo map, ai navigator, and performance improvement, thereby meeting users' service needs in different regions and scenarios.
amap can also be used in areas without roads or networks
china's terrain is complex and diverse, and many areas are not covered by road networks. for example, china's four major uninhabited areas have a combined area of more than 390,000 square kilometers, accounting for about 4% of the country's land area. they are one of the most dangerous and difficult areas and are known as "life forbidden areas." the mountainous areas, which account for 33% of the country's total area, also have extremely limited road network coverage, and outdoor enthusiasts can easily get lost in the mountains and forests.
in order to meet the needs of users who may be traveling, hiking or exploring in areas without signals, roads or even uninhabited areas, the new version of autonavi v15 has launched a satellite distress call function. when users enter a roadless area, autonavi will prompt them to record their footprints throughout the journey, and when returning, they can choose to return along the original route. if they encounter danger on the way, the satellite distress call function can also send out effective distress messages with precise positioning, so that rescue forces can know the exact location and trajectory of the rescuer, greatly improving rescue efficiency.

satellite distress functions are available regardless of whether there is a network signal or not. in the offline scenario, amap has cooperated with mobile phone manufacturers and satellite communication operators to implement highly reliable real-time satellite communication technology for extreme scenarios, using beidou satellite positioning and connecting to tiantong satellite communication to achieve the ability to send distress information with one click.
not only that, under the guidance of the national safety research institute of the ministry of emergency management and the china institute of safety science and technology, autonavi maps also joined forces with the blue sky rescue team, dawn rescue alliance, green boat rescue team, china association of automobile manufacturers off-road vehicle branch and other institutions to establish the country's first "rescue mutual aid alliance" based on a map platform, bringing together professional rescue forces and supporting them with the support of autonavi maps technology to jointly improve the efficiency of field rescue.
in addition to the extreme environments of uninhabited areas and roadless areas, long-distance self-driving often passes through areas without network signals. if the navigation is stuck, missing an exit often means driving dozens of kilometers more. amap v15 version launches beidou satellite network-free navigation, which intelligently identifies risk areas with poor network on the way, preloads navigation information, and automatically switches to network-free navigation mode when the network signal is unstable, truly achieving full coverage of the service. amap network-free navigation has covered millions of network risk points across the country.
the world's first lane-level pilot function is launched
as people's travel frequency increases and travel radius expands, driving scenarios on highways and urban expressways are increasing. however, the road conditions on highways and urban expressways are extremely complex and unpredictable. the launch of the world's first lane-level navigation function on a map platform in autonavi map v15 has alleviated this situation.
lane-level navigation is based on many core technologies of autonavi map in the field of transportation, relying on the independently developed large-scale space-time perception model and applying the space-time computing engine to deduce and predict future traffic conditions and provide faster lane recommendations for car owners. the biggest feature of lane-level navigation is that it realizes "beyond visual range" perception, which is farther than the naked eye and is not limited by physical components such as sensors. it can "penetrate" surrounding vehicles, help users "see" road conditions farther away and give driving suggestions in advance. this function, lane-level navigation, is currently gradually covering national highways and urban expressways, and supports most android and hongmeng system phones.
for drivers, navigation should not only be accurate and intelligent, but also understand themselves better. following "teacher xiao gao", the new version v15 launched a number of ai navigators, using large model technology to customize the image, voice, and personality. the new version also supports users to use the voice image of family or friends to personalize and generate exclusive navigators.
the industry's first 3dgpt generative map
as a reflection of the real world, in order to enable users to "see is believing" and "understand immediately", the v15 version has also been upgraded to present dynamic and static information under the microscopic perspective.
amap v15 launches 3d maps, with mountains, rivers, lakes and seas vividly displayed, surrounding life quickly accessible, and city dynamics clearly visible, giving users a brand new feeling as soon as they open the map.
the industry's first accessible circle feature will help many users who have difficulty choosing. for example, when users are looking for nearby locations, the surrounding accessible circles will act like a small radar, quickly locking in nearby food, fun and convenience facilities. the radius of the accessible circle can be manually adjusted to 5/10/15 minutes on foot, which is quick, convenient and clear at a glance. when users want to go shopping, the surrounding business districts will appear in front of them in the form of thermal icons. zooming in to enter the hot zone will allow you to view detailed information about the business district. when users arrive at the mall, the three-dimensional map can help quickly identify the location, and clearly see the store location and floor information.
all these effects and displays are largely based on the 3dgpt map technology independently developed by amap. amap pioneered the 3dgpt generative map in the industry, creating an abstract and realistic city scene. through fully automatic modeling and abstract restoration of a single image, a stereoscopic image can be generated, which supports 360-degree rotation viewing. amap also uses neural rendering technology to construct city details, and freely zoom, move and rotate the map, so that every corner of the city can be immersive.
it is understood that the performance of this version of the app has also continued to improve. data shows that the new version v15 has an 89% faster startup speed, a 90% higher usability, a 50% reduction in storage space, and over 30% lower power consumption than the previous version.
