Having the off-road trail guides loaded right into the Jeep’s Uconnect 5 Navigation system will make it easier for drivers to navigate and master the trails, plus the guides point out special highlights on the trails as well as potential obstacles or pitfalls. Jeep will also make the system easy to upgrade with over-the-air updates. The guides are displayed on the Jeeps’ new 12.3-inch high-resolution screen.

Also, for trails that can be traversed both directions, customers will be able to navigate to the end of the trail in addition to the start of the trail.
