TomTom and BlackBerry had great brands, marketing and great software stacks. I still correct the google maps voice when it tells me to take the third exit on the roundabout. It’s “roundabound”.

If it's saying "roundabout," I hope you're not correcting it to "roundabound," because "roundabout" is the correct word. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundabout https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundabout
