Our new car happened to include nav in the trim package we wanted. It is nice having it integrated with the vehicle (it doesn't have CarPlay or Android Auto), and available regardless of cell phone status. However, I'm not going to spend hundreds of dollars per year for map updates.
- rhombocombus 9y agoThat's insane. It costs a couple hundred dollars a year to update aircraft Instrument flight GPS maps (and EVERYTHING is expensive on an airplane), it's galling that automakers would deign to charge so much for a product that almost all of us have available for free on our phones.
- reaperducer 9y agoYou're lucky you can pay for map updates. The navigation system for my car has NEVER been updated by the manufacturer. It's simply not an option. Which means it was out of date the day the car was built. Every now and again I'll look at the screen and see my car floating across a barren landscape. That's how I know the road I'm on was built after 2013.
