Everything else has changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">60 years ago, getting ready for a trip required a different organization. There were few tools and every journey had to be planned carefully.

Sensors, cameras and driver assistance systems help recognise obstacles, keep the vehicle in its lane and manage traffic. These technologies are designed not to replace drivers, but to make driving easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.konigchain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/From-road-maps-to-sat-navs-\u2013-how-travelling-has-changed-over-the-last-60-years_2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-81685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.konigchain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/From-road-maps-to-sat-navs-\u2013-how-travelling-has-changed-over-the-last-60-years_2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.konigchain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/From-road-maps-to-sat-navs-\u2013-how-travelling-has-changed-over-the-last-60-years_2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.konigchain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/From-road-maps-to-sat-navs-\u2013-how-travelling-has-changed-over-the-last-60-years_2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.konigchain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/From-road-maps-to-sat-navs-\u2013-how-travelling-has-changed-over-the-last-60-years_2-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Today\u2019s cars are totally different from 1960s cars. They are bigger, more connected and often electrified. Each technological advance has brought new challenges, driving the automotive sector to develop new, specific solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">If in the past the most important thing was to get to the destination, today drivers ask for more. They want to drive safely, save time, always be connected and make every journey as simple as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.konigchain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Konig_Volkswagen-Taigo_Reflex-Cross-4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-81688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.konigchain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Konig_Volkswagen-Taigo_Reflex-Cross-4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.konigchain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Konig_Volkswagen-Taigo_Reflex-Cross-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.konigchain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Konig_Volkswagen-Taigo_Reflex-Cross-4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.konigchain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Konig_Volkswagen-Taigo_Reflex-Cross-4-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Let\u2019s take a practical example: a family from Milan that wants to go on a ski holiday in Cortina d\u2019Ampezzo. In the 1960s unforeseen events were part of the journey. Families would set off knowing that reaching the destination would take around 8-9 hours because of snow, roadworks or accidents. Most of the journey was on main roads because motorways were under construction. It wasn&#8217;t possible to predict the arrival time, nor could they know in advance the weather conditions on the road and at the destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">The same journey in 2026 takes just over 4 hours, navigation apps provide real-time updates and recalculate the route, hotels and activities can be booked online and you can check the weather forecast on the way and at your destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-column-is-layout-201a1795 wp-block-column-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">In the 1960s before leaving it was essential, in addition to studying the journey, to check the car (oil, tire pressure, windscreen washer fluid) and prepare some food and drinks for the trip. Today the preparation is mostly technological: smartphone, navigation apps, online reservations and fully charged devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">What has remained the same in 60 years? <strong>Snow chains<\/strong> are still found in the boot of the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">The evolution of mobility is not just about cars. It also includes everything that makes travelling easier, safer and better suited to modern drivers&#8217; needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">In the last sixty years, K\u00f6nig has developed its snow chains to respond to changes in mobility: from vehicles with limited wheel clearance to newer vehicle categories such as crossovers and B-SUVs, through to the latest generation of electric vehicles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">At the same time, the company has expanded its range, developing products designed for specific applications and investing constantly in technical innovation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-constrained wp-block-column-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large has-custom-border\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"790\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.konigchain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/From-road-maps-to-sat-navs-\u2013-how-travelling-has-changed-over-the-last-60-years_3-790x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-81686\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.konigchain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/From-road-maps-to-sat-navs-\u2013-how-travelling-has-changed-over-the-last-60-years_3-790x1024.jpg 790w, https:\/\/www.konigchain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/From-road-maps-to-sat-navs-\u2013-how-travelling-has-changed-over-the-last-60-years_3-768x996.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.konigchain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/From-road-maps-to-sat-navs-\u2013-how-travelling-has-changed-over-the-last-60-years_3-1185x1536.jpg 1185w, https:\/\/www.konigchain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/From-road-maps-to-sat-navs-\u2013-how-travelling-has-changed-over-the-last-60-years_3-1579x2048.jpg 1579w, https:\/\/www.konigchain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/From-road-maps-to-sat-navs-\u2013-how-travelling-has-changed-over-the-last-60-years_3-scaled.jpg 1974w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Particular attention has been paid to developing solutions that make installation and removal easier, faster and more intuitive.

the most advanced expression of this philosophy: products that embody decades of innovation, technology and reliability while delivering high performance and a simple, intuitive user experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">And the evolution won\u2019t stop here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">If the way we travel continues to change, the solutions that support it will
