Men just can’t shake the stereo type: they’d rather drive in the wrong direction for hours than ask for directions, but is it true? OnStar, a service that provides drivers with directions and other services, analyzed their data to see just who uses their navigation service the most. The company says that while 38 percent of OnStar subscribers are female, a disproportionate 44 percent of subscribers who use navigation services are female. Additionally, 48 percent of navigation requests come from female subscribers. Stefan Cross, communications manager for OnStar says, “So in general, female subscribers are willing to use navigation more than male subscribers and are using it more frequently.” It is notable though, that OnStar doesn’t track who is pushing the button each time, so they are only going by whose name the OnStar account for the car is under. OnStar services men use a disproportionately high amount: in-car Wi-Fi hotspots and its RemoteLink Mobile App, which lets you do things like lock or unlock your car with via your phone.
