Jaguar Route Planner

JLR - Jaguar

About this app

To be used in conjunction with Jaguar vehicles which are fitted with the next-generation infotainment system, InControl Touch Pro, the Jaguar Route Planner App allows you to navigate from door to door. Before setting out from your home, set your destination from your smartphone and you’ll be directed to your Jaguar as the app detects your vehicle's location. The smartphone app will then automatically sync with your Jaguar's navigation system using the Cloud so your car will be ready to take over navigating soon after you get in. Once you've finished your in-car journey, navigation is then handed back to your smartphone, which provides any final public transport and pedestrian directions to your final destination.

In addition the Route Planner app also allows you to pre-plan trips and holidays by searching for places of interest or restaurants and saving them as favourites from your smartphone. You will then be able to access these saved locations from the in-car navigation system at a later date.

Note:
• Requires InControl Navigation Account to sign-in. Account can be registered from either your Jaguar’s navigation settings or jaguar.here.com.
• As we systematically introduce InControl, specific features, options and its availability remain market dependent. This app requires that your vehicle be fitted with its relevant connectivity package as well as a Micro SIM card with a suitable data contract.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Ratings and reviews

1/15/21: . Update: stopped working again in late fall after Android o/s was updated. Why isn't the software developer aware of this. Just look at the other recent reviews, same issue; app crashes when opened. Jaguar, is this how a "luxury car" is supposed to be????? 5/25/20 Now it works fine, like it did originally. There was an update earlier in May, but never bothered trying, as the rest of the world was broken earlier in the month. Would have given 5 stars, but it took too long to fix

Not useless, but not useful. Plotting waypoints for travel is easy to do through the phone. Sadly, it picks a random spot that I parked at sometime in the previous week, which can be 4 doors down or 400 miles away. It won't sync properly until you get to the car's location according to the map, even if you're sitting inside the car. Stupendously useless. Get Waze instead (or any other map program)
