+<h2 id=vms>Vehicle Mapping Service (VMS)</h2>
+
+<p>Android 8.1 introduces support for the Vehicle Mapping Service (VMS), a new
+vehicle property intended for use only in Android Automotive implementations.
+VMS can be used for in-vehicle mapping services that support common vehicle
+features such as advanced driver assistance
+(<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_driver-assistance_systems" class="external">ADAS</a>).
+
+<aside class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> For details on compatibility
+requirements for Automotive, see
+<a href="https://source.android.com/compatibility/android-cdd#2_5_automotive_requirements">Automotive
+Requirements</a>.</aside>
+
+<p>The VMS property is a complex data type that expresses map data exchanged
+between an Android Automotive implementation and the underlying vehicle hardware
+responsible for managing onboard mapping data.</p>
+
+<p>AOSP does not contain a default implementation of VMS, which currently
+exists only as the property and related enumeration. Message types and data
+structures are described in
+<a href="https://android.googlesource.com/platform/hardware/interfaces/+/master/automotive/vehicle/2.0/types.hal">Vehicle
+HAL 2.0</a> in the
+<a href="https://android.googlesource.com/platform/hardware/interfaces/+/master/automotive/vehicle/2.0/types.hal#3216">VmsMessageType</a>
+enum, which lists the types of supported VMS messages. This enum is used as the
+first integer in the vehicle property integers array and determines how the rest
+of the message is decoded.</p>
