Autonavi map aggregation ride-hailing experience: one account, multiple services

  The latest version of Autonavi Map has added the function of aggregating ride-hailing, allowing users to easily call taxis, Didi Express, Shouqi Car-hailing and Shenzhou special cars with only one account in Autonavi Map. In the future, finding a taxi can be easily done with an APP. After a few days of experience, I will share with you the experience of aggregating ride-hailing.

  On July 27, Autonavi Maps launched its new one-stop public transportation service platform at the Future Transportation Summit – Autonavi Easy Travel Platform. This platform has been connected to multiple online car-hailing service providers such as Didi Chuxing, Shenzhou Special Car, and Shouqi Car-hailing. The ride-hailing function launched by Autonavi Maps this time is also the embodiment of the Autonavi Easy Travel platform in the mobile client side of Autonavi Maps. Users can now easily call a car on Autonavi Maps.

  Just like using the "driving" and "bus" functions of the Autonavi map, using the ride-hailing function in the Autonavi map is also very simple to get started. We just need to click the "Route" button on the homepage of the Autonavi map, and we will find that the "ride-hailing" function has been added to the function page. Enter the starting and ending points on this page, and then click "Call a Car Now", you can easily call a ride online. In addition, the editor also found a way to quickly enter the ride-hailing page, Autonavi map placed a ride-hailing shortcut in the shortcut bar on the right side of the homepage, and you can click to go straight to the ride-hailing page, which is very "simple and crude". Users who often use online ride-hailing can enter the ride-hailing page here.

  The next step is to call a car. After entering the starting destination on the ride-hailing page, the Autonavi map will list taxis, economy, comfort, business, luxury and other grades of online ride-hailing cars for us to choose from, and list the prices of various online ride-hailing cars on the page. After we choose the type of car we want to call, click "Call a Car Now", and the Autonavi map will call each online ride-hailing platform to find a vehicle for us. There is still a section of the road to get home after I get off work from the subway every day. For this section of the road, the editor usually takes a taxi, so choose the economical Didi.

  After the driver takes the order, like other online ride-hailing apps, Autonavi Maps will also list the model, car number, driver, real-time location and other information of the order, and allow users to contact the driver and cancel the order. When the driver picks up the passenger and starts the journey, Autonavi Maps will also display the remaining distance, time, navigation route and other information to the destination on the page, so that users can easily know the route at a glance.

  When we arrive at the destination, the Autonavi map will automatically display the distance, duration and other information of the whole journey, as well as the fare and details. In addition, when we use the ride-hailing function of the Autonavi map for the first time, the Autonavi map will prompt us to bind Alipay secret-free payment. After binding, Alipay will automatically deduct the fee when the trip is over. We just need to get off the bus directly, which is convenient and fast, saving time and worry.

  Many people will ask, taxi with the major network about the car platform’s own APP is good, why do you still use Autonavi map to call a car? Small series believes that this is a user convenience problem, in the current mobile end point application serious fragmentation of the status quo, if the user needs to switch a function every time you use the APP, over time, it will make users very annoying.

  Let’s imagine the following travel scenario: You go on a business trip out of town. After arriving in the destination city, you first check the hotels near the business location on the Autonavi map and plan to stay there. After checking, you plan to call a car to this hotel. Or when you have a friend in the city where you are on a business trip, the friend knows that you are coming and wants to invite you to dinner, and tells you the place and time of the meal. But when you are done and find that the bus is a little tight, you want to call a car after checking the location on the Autonavi map. In these travel scenarios, when you check the location, you can call a car directly in the Autonavi map, instead of having to hastily switch to the online car-hailing app to call a car. Is this much more convenient?

  After some experience, the editor believes that the release of Autonavi Maps’ easy-to-use platform and access to online car-hailing precisely solve the most practical needs of users, making Autonavi a comprehensive service platform based on providing map services. Now, Autonavi Maps can adapt to a variety of travel scenarios, providing users with a variety of travel services in one stop, making users’ mobile Internet life more convenient. With the coming of the school season in September, as well as the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival and November holidays, car demand is about to usher in a new wave. Friends who often take taxis, I suggest you upgrade Autonavi Maps to the latest version, and then call a car more conveniently.
