Subaru Adds Eight New Apps to the Impreza's Infotainment System
Offering something for everyone, from birdwatchers to event seekers
Subaru makes a great thing even better
If you're familiar with the 2017 Impreza, then you already know it offers a host of attractive features from its 2.0-liter Subaru BOXER® engine (capable of 152 hp) to its standard Apple CarPlay™, Android Auto™, and Near Field Communication technology. But Subaru has by no means been content to rest on its laurels--that's why the team at Herb Gordon Subaru is excited to announce that eight new apps will be available on the new 2017 Impreza.
Magellan® NAVI
Free for three years on the 2017 Impreza, Magellan® NAVI offers cloud-based mapping services straight from your vehicle's multimedia system, ensuring maps are not only updated, but they're easily (and safely) accessible.
eBird
A boon for birdwatchers everywhere, eBird comes from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and consists of a database of millions of bird sightings to make it easier than ever for people to find birds in real time. Even better, the app makes the data openly available for scientific research, education, and conservation.
BestParking
Driving the 2017 Impreza is a pleasure, sure, but sometimes finding a place to park it can be a pain. That's where the BestParking app comes in. With info on the locations and hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly rates of nearly 12,000 parking facilities across the US, you won't have to wander aimlessly looking for parking--you'll know right where to find it.
Yelp
Everyone's favorite review website is now available on the Impreza's STARLINK™ touchscreen, giving drivers access to reviews on everything from local restaurants to doctors to hair stylists.
Glympse
If you've ever needed to let someone (a friend, family member, etc.) know where you are while on a trip, Glympse is the app for you. With Glympse, drivers can let trusted people know their location, destination, and estimated time of arrival.
RightTrack® Test Drive
RightTrack® Test Drive from Liberty Mutual Insurance is designed to help drivers make safer driving decisions to help lower their insurance premiums and (in select states) even receive insurance discounts.
Quick Reference Guide
The first step by Subaru towards going paperless, the Quick Reference Guide by Tweddle gives drivers all the info they need about their Impreza just like a paper manual would, with the added benefit that the Guide is interactive and searchable from the STARLINK™ touchscreen, making it easier than ever to find out specific information.
eventseeker
Looking for real-time info on fun local events like concerts, festivals, etc.? If so, eventseeker powered by Wcities, Inc. is perfect for you. Not only does it give you info on all the above and more, but you can also use it to create a personalized event calendar and even share it with friends.
