InvenSense And AutoNavi Partner To Provide High-Accuracy, High-Availability Turn-By-Turn Navigation User Experience To Huawei Smartphones

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--InvenSense, Inc. (NYSE: INVN), a leading provider of MEMS sensor platform solutions, and AutoNavi, a division of Alibaba Group and China’s leading provider of digital maps, announced the integration of the InvenSense Positioning Library (IPL) and the map matching engine inside AutoNavi’s mobile map application enabling an improved user experience for Huawei smartphones. This new platform creates a feedback loop interface between the respective technologies, virtually eliminating GNSS (GPS) signal outages and navigation re-routing, providing a best-in-class navigation experience to consumers. This is realized through efficient and platform-independent Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) provided by IPL. The recently launched Huawei P10 and P10 Plus smartphones are the first models to incorporate this capability. InvenSense’s IPL processes data from the gyroscope, accelerometer, and barometric pressure sensors inside smartphones to provide sensor-enhanced navigation in areas with poor GNSS signal quality providing high-availability, high-accuracy turn-by-turn navigation user experiences to consumers.
