The 2013 Chevrolet Spark, which comes standard with the brand’s new MyLink infotainment system, is now adding an affordable option for a navigation system thanks to GogoLink. The feature will also be made available on the Sonic.

GogoLink is an embedded smartphone application that delivers full-function navigation – including live traffic updates – through the vehicles’ MyLink infotainment system. If you’re headed to the 2012 New York Auto Show, you’ll be able to test it out at a specie kiosk at the Chevrolet stand.

“GogoLink gives Spark and Sonic customers cloud-based navigation and live traffic alerts projected on the vehicle’s seven-inch, high-resolution touch screen for a great value,” said Cristi Landy, Chevrolet marketing director for small cars. Landy says that about 90 percent of Spark and Sonic expected buyers own smartphones.

GogoLink navigation includes:

Emergency information such as police, fire and the nearest hospital
Thousands of points of interest
Local Search via Google
Where am I? locator
Live traffic functionality provides crash reports and lane closures, and with alternative routes
3-D maps
Ability to store native maps to the customer’s smartphone, giving them access to locations and turn-by-turn directions even when phone signal quality is poor. Many GPS-enabled apps do not do this.

Prices for the GoGoLink navigation system will be announced closer to launch date of the Spark.
