CHICAGO, IL -- At the Chicago Auto Show, Rand McNally unveils OverDryve, a revolutionary connected-car device that brings advanced luxury-car features to mainstream automobiles. OverDryve™ is an elegant dashboard tablet that provides a combination of entertainment, information, navigation, and safety features.

•A voice-controlled smart assistant

Everything about OverDryve was designed with the driver in mind. It features an elegant user display that provides access to key items at a glance. It comes with a clever, easy to install magnetic mount, making attaching and removing the device a snap. Keeping safety at the forefront, some OverDryve features are disabled while the device is on the mount and in driver mode. Off the mount – for passengers in the car or after the drive – OverDryve™ is a fully loaded entertainment tablet that can be used to watch movies, access social media, and check email.
Celebrating its 160th anniversary this year, Rand McNally has undergone a quiet transformation into a technology company in recent years.
