For an added level of convenience, the Altima also an available Nissan Door to Door Navigation System. This system seamlessly transfers your navigation rout from your car's display to your phone. So, if you have to park a few blocks ways from your destination, the navigation system will still be with you to make sure that you are able to find where you are going.

The Civic has a low sitting display as well, however, Apple Car Play and Android Auto are not available on all trim levels. And there is no navigation option that is able to send directions to your phone.
