Reference implementations support 2-wheelers, e-bikes and automotive IVI use cases across different hardware classes

LINZ, Austria / AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, June 17, 2026 –  Candera GmbH and Magic Lane today announce a strategic partnership to simplify the integration of advanced navigation into Human-Machine Interfaces built with Candera CGI Studio. The collaboration combines Candera’s HMI development expertise with Magic Lane’s navigation and location technology to help OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers and device manufacturers create navigation-enabled user experiences faster and with greater flexibility.

The collaboration focuses on practical reference implementations based on Magic Lane’s C++ and Android SDKs. These references are designed to show how navigation can be integrated across different mobility segments, hardware classes and system architectures, from resource-conscious MCU environments to more powerful MPU platforms and in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems.

Initial target use cases include motorbikes and other 2-wheelers, bikes and e-bikes, and automotive passenger cars. For 2-wheelers, Candera and Magic Lane will demonstrate MJPEG content streaming to low-power MCU hardware, addressing the requirements of cost-effective digital instrument clusters. For bike and e-bike applications, the companies will showcase navigation on handlebar-integrated clusters running on more capable MPU hardware, where target selection and routing are executed directly on the device.

For low-cost MCU-based bike computers, routing and navigation execution can be handled on the smartphone, while the MCU cluster displays the map and turn-by-turn guidance. In the automotive segment, Magic Lane’s navigation solution will be integrated into Candera’s ready-made in-vehicle infotainment solution, giving development teams a faster starting point for navigation-enabled IVI concepts.

This partnership with Magic Lane is an important step in expanding the CGI Studio ecosystem with high-quality navigation capabilities that fit real product requirements across global mobility markets,” said Reinhard Füricht, Managing Director of Candera. “By combining Magic Lane’s flexible navigation technology with Candera’s proven HMI development platform, we can help customers reduce integration effort and move faster from concept to compelling in-vehicle user experiences.”

“At Magic Lane, we are focused on making advanced navigation technology easy to integrate and adaptable to the needs of modern mobility products,” said Raymond Alves, CEO of Magic Lane. “Partnering with Candera allows us to bring our navigation platform into beautifully designed HMIs and showcase how developers and OEMs can deploy rich navigation experiences across two-wheel, micro-mobility, and automotive environments.”

The partnership gives OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers and device manufacturers a clear path to evaluate and implement navigation-enabled HMIs using Candera CGI Studio and Magic Lane technology. By covering different execution models, including on-device navigation, streamed navigation content and distributed smartphone-to-cluster architectures, the reference implementations address real integration scenarios instead of a single fixed setup.
