A method for playing audible prompts from a navigation system, the method carried out on a device having a processing unit including a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium capable of executing instructions of a software program, the method comprising the steps of: receiving, at the processing unit, an audio signal representative of an audible navigation prompt; receiving, at the processing unit, a signal representative of a direction associated with the audible navigation prompt; receiving, at the processing unit, a signal representative of a distance associated with the audible navigation prompt; processing the audio signal representative of the audible navigation prompt to emulate the direction and the distance associated with the audible navigation prompt; and the processing including: - splitting the audio signal representative of the audible navigation prompt into a first audio signal and a second audio signal, the second audio signal only is subjected to processing using direction and distance associated with the audible navigation prompt to only be output at predetermined speakers, each predetermined speaker having an associated gain, wherein processing of the second audio signal comprises: - filtering the second audio signal in order to add reflections to the audio signal wherein the added reflections are based on the direction and distance information, - after the filtering, splitting the second audio signal to the predetermined speakers each with an associated gain to provide a signal that when output emulates the direction information, - after the splitting, adding a delay to the second audio signal to provide a sense of depth based on the distance information, - combining the processed second audio signal and the first audio signal, - playing the combined audio signal representative of the audible navigation prompt using a vehicle audio system. receiving, at the processing unit, an audio signal representative of an audible navigation prompt;
