After crossing the bridge, we are in the Central Business District (CBD). This packed urban jungle is filled with the world’s most powerful financial houses and banks. Looking up through the A5 panoramic tilting roof, I can see the reflections of the buildings.
Inside this shadowy urban concrete jungle, we lose our sense of direction immediately. Singapore roads are not in grid. There is no convention to the road naming or the road construction. Roads meander and cross other meandering roads. To top that, most narrow streets in CBD are one way.
When I drive rental cars with GPS systems, I often times miss turns because the information displayed was too overwhelming or confusing.
In contrast, the A5 navigation system features an innovative split screen design that simultaneously displays the aerial 3-D map and the view of the upcoming turn or intersection. The wide high-resolution LCD screen enables me to instantaneously correlate the computer generated view of the street with the real world view. This feature not only eliminates anxiety in driving through a very dense city but also allows me to enjoy the urban scenery with a relaxed state of mind.
