We've always believed drivers deserve privacy-first maps and navigation.

Not as a feature. As the foundation.

Many drivers already trust Magic Earth on their phones. For years it has been the privacy-first choice on iOS and Android. No tracking, no profiling, no data sold. Navigation that knows where the roads are, not who you are.

Today, we bring that same promise to your dashboard. Magic Earth Navigation & Maps is now live in the Google Play Store for cars. Worldwide, for every vehicle running Android Automotive with Google built-in. Volvo. Polestar. Renault. And more every month.

This is not our mobile app stretched to a bigger screen. It's a native Android Automotive application, engineered for the car.

Full AAOS intent support. Say "navigate home" to your car's voice assistant and it just works. Set Magic Earth as your default navigation.

Full offline navigation in 200+ countries. Maps live in your car, not in the cloud. Tunnels, underground garages, mountain passes. Nothing breaks.

Live traffic, dynamic rerouting, speed camera and hazard alerts the moment you're connected. You never notice the handover.

Lane guidance and junction views, rendered at automotive frame rates on the car's own hardware.

And still the part we're proudest of: it knows nothing about you. No location history. No profile. Your searches never leave the car. Ever.

Privacy-first maps and navigation. Always on, even offline. One more thing. This launch belongs to our mobile users as much as to us. You carried Magic Earth this far. If you're already a Magic Earth user on your phone, your 25% loyalty discount on the in-car license is waiting if you buy the license from our Magic Earth website.

It's live now. Open the Play Store on your car's screen and search "Magic Earth", or start on our website.

If you drive an Android Automotive car, tell us what you think. Your feedback shapes what we build next.

Hello r/Renault, we are Magic Lane, the team behind Magic Earth. After a lot of head-unit testing we've shipped a beta of Magic Earth AUTO and we'd love feedback from people who actually drive these cars every day. 

Why we built this for AAOS

AAOS owners have been waiting for a solid navigation alternative. Most options still lean on phone projection or rely entirely on connectivity. We built Magic Earth AUTO specifically for your infotainment system, running natively on the hardware. Not retrofitted from a phone.

Here's what that means in practice:

• Works fully offline. Download maps for 200+ countries and navigate anywhere: tunnels, mountain passes, remote regions, underground car parks. No connectivity? No problem. Turn-by-turn works the same. When you're connected, live traffic and speed camera alerts layer on top automatically.
• Hands-free voice control. "Navigate to Paris." "Avoid toll roads." "Add a stop." "Report a hazard ahead." Your car's voice assistant talks directly to Magic Earth AUTO through the standard AAOS intent framework. Hands stay on the wheel, eyes on the road.
• Purpose-built for your Renault car's display. Full-screen, automotive-optimised map rendering. Smooth 3D perspective, lane-level guidance, junction view for complex intersections, automatic day/night switching. This is designed for driving, not projected from your phone.
• Privacy by default. No tracking. No location data transmitted to anyone. Core navigation runs locally on your car. GDPR-compliant from the ground up, because how you drive is nobody else's business.

A real privacy-first alternative to Google Maps

If you've been using Google Maps because it's what's built in, know that there's now a 100% privacy-friendly option that doesn't come with the tradeoff. No profile built on your trips, no location history synced to an account, no data handed off to advertisers. Same core navigation experience, offline maps, live traffic, voice control, lane guidance, minus everything Google collects along the way.

What early access members get

• A free Magic Earth AUTO license for as long as you're part of the beta community
• Direct line to the team building the product. Your feedback shapes the roadmap
• First access to new features before wider release
• A say in how privacy-first navigation evolves

Supported cars (AAOS / Google built-in)

Not sure if your car qualifies? If you can already install apps directly from the Play Store on your head unit, you're in.

What we're testing

We want feedback on:

• Real-world routing accuracy on your daily commute
• Head-unit UX (touch targets, glance-ability, how it feels while driving)
• Bugs, crashes, weird edge cases, screenshots and videos welcome
• Offline performance, map quality, whether you hit any dead zones

How to join

Send us a mail at betatesting@magicearth.com. Include your car model, AAOS version if you can find it, and the email address tied to your Google account on the head unit, that way we can link your beta access directly without needing to ask for it separately. We'll get back to you with access details. Happy to answer anything in the comments.
