Navigation is critical for driving, and comparing Magellan vs. TomTom vs. Subaru Starlink<\/strong> will highlight the most suitable navigation option for your Subaru. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We’ll start by defining the three technologies to see what they are all about. Let’s get right into it!<\/p>\n\n\n Magellan<\/a> is one of the top portable GPS navigation consumer electronics manufacturers and has 200+ patents in GPS technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2017, Magellan announced that its connected car navigation app would be available in five Subaru models released in 2018 as the beginning of the partnership between the two companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n These include the Outback, Forester, WRX, Crosstrek, and Legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Named the Magellan Navi, the app brought powerful GPS navigation features with high routing precision and the latest maps to Subaru drivers by linking the smartphone mobile app to the vehicle’s center display screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Magellan Navi is a fully-featured app in the Apple or Android Subaru Starlink app. So can\u2019t access it directly from the infotainment system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You have to download the app on your phone, then connect it to the Subaru Starlink multimedia system via USB cable or Bluetooth to access the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although it seems cumbersome, this smartphone integration transfers the mobile phone app navigation features to the car’s touchscreen navigation system for easier use.<\/p>\n\n\n TomTom<\/a> and Magellan compete to provide navigation functions on Subaru Starlink<\/a> but operate at different levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You must download the Subaru Starlink app on your phone for Magellan, then link it to the infotainment system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But TomTom is currently the default in-dash Starlink navigation app and provides navigation with customized route planning functions via Subaru’s high-resolution touchscreen interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a vehicle navigation software that provides details like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Subaru launched its next-gen infotainment system (Starlink) in 2018, integrated TomTom as the in-dash navigation system, and kept Magellan on the Starlink mobile app platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The automaker extended this partnership in 2019 while introducing improved features like a more intuitive interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTable of Contents<\/h2>\n
