Aviation database updating has apparently been hit by this [1], and pilots are mandated by the FAA to keep them up-to-date. Car navigation won't be significantly affected as long as the roads haven't changed drastically since the maps were last updated - all the plotting and directions are done on the device itself.

- redis_mlc 6y ago> pilots are mandated by the FAA to keep them up-to-date. I think the FAR says, "all available information" which is an indirect way of saying up-to-date. In the US, you could use expired databases as long as your device doesn't lock you out, though it wouldn't look good if you had an incident. Buying a paper copy would be good CYA. In Canada, they change the fix names, so you would need to buy paper copies in the meantime.
