Google Earth-VW plan navigation system

Volkswagen of America Inc., said Friday it is working on a prototype vehicle which features Google Inc.'s satellite mapping software to give drivers a bird's eye view of the road ahead.

The two companies are working with the graphics chipmaker Nvidia Corp.to build an in-car navigation map system and a three-dimensional display so passengers can recognize where they are in relation to the surrounding topography.
