Just say where to.

  • As many satellites as you have corners

Hands free, mind free

While driving, you do not tap around on screens. With Yapaia Satellite you simply say „Fahre mich nach Magdeburg“ (take me to Magdeburg) – and Yapaia Go calculates the route. Or ask about the weather, switch the lights, or get your arrival time read out.

What’s inside

Several satellites

One in the cab, one in the over-cab bed, one outside under the awning: every satellite is a device of its own. The Yapaia integration finds them all and tells the other modules – so Go can make an announcement on all of them or just on one.
