Apple focusing on navigation system for Mercedes?

German magazine reports that Apple is currently working on a navigation systems for Mercedes cars.

Did you ever lose your way and wander aimlessly through a labyrinth till you finally found a way out? If not, thank yourself for not belonging to the tribe of the geographically challenged who are burning precious gasoline in the process. Anyway, thankfully for them, navigation systems in automobiles have come as a boon. With a new business opportunity opening up, major players are entering the navigation systems market and seems Apple doesn’t want to be lagging.

So, after expanding its reach over the digital world with a wide range of products, Apple is apparently eyeing navigation devices, if German magazine Focus is to be believed.

The magazine has reported that Apple is secretly developing a navigation system to debut in Mercedes vehicles during 2009. In the beginning it will be exclusively available in Mercedes before other manufacturers get the license to use it.

As of now, since there is no official confirmation from Apple, let’s wait for further developments before taking the news at face value.
