We've said this countless times, but as Mercedes-Benz dealers we love nothing more than catching wind of new developments at the automaker, and recent news has given us plenty of reason to geek out. Earlier this month navigation giant Garmin announced its partnership with Mercedes-Benz, a relationship that we think will bring in-car tech to a whole new level.

Anyone who's into gadgets, technology developments, or Mercedes-Benz will definitely want to keep on top of these developments, because we're sure that great things are to come. Garmin technology will appear in Mercedes-Benz vehicles around the world over the next four years, providing maps, directions, and additional features to be integrated into driver assistance features. Instead of fiddling with a small chunky device affixed to the windshield with a suction cup, we'll be looking out for a more integrated setup with a touch screen.

Drivers everywhere are increasingly looking for integrated media and navigation solutions, but this kind of technology can pose quite a challenge for automakers. It has to be powerful enough to incorporate many different functions and features, but also intuitive enough that its use isn't a significant threat to driver safety. This kind of in-car safety and multimedia tech will be a huge area of development and exploration in the future, and we can't wait to start seeing Garmin in future Mercedes vehicles.

For drivers in Kissimmee, Mercedes options are plentiful and nearby, so if you can't wait for the fruits of this new partnership to roll out, then come check out the many Mercedes models at our nearby dealership.
