Scion FR-S Commercial: GPS??

I keep seeing the Scion FR-S commercial with the red one going around the mountains and stuff and halfway through the commercial they show it with a GPS? What the hell?

About 8 seconds into this one

It's the bespoke system, I believe.

My car has it. You download the Bespoke app to your phone, plug in your phone, and it displays GPS.

Not on the Google Play Store. Fail.

The commercial says in fine print "Prototype vehicle shown, production model may vary"

So maybe it's a Navigation system that isn't offered yet?

Lol. The useless GPS on the iPhone is integrated with BeSpoke? It's probably not a very good GPS then. Does it even do turn by turn?

Not iPhone GPS. It's BeSpoke's own GPS.

It's got a weird turn-by-turn with voice.

Yeah skip it.. you aren't missing anything. Better to invest in a solid after market deck.

I'm not too concerned about GPS, just would've been a bonus if it was worth anything. I'm very happy with the stock BeSpoke system, minus the fact it doesn't come with an XM antenna.

Meh, not trying to advertise or anything, but I've been using the MapQuest4mobile app on my iPhone with turn-by-turn gps for years, and it's pretty solid.
