The only errors I find are opening hours and similarly trivial things; things that my car's built in nav doesn't even have. A road not being there or it having been moved or whatever has never happened to me while using Google Map

I'm imagining someone doing the maths on the suffering created by programs prioritising form over function. How many times have people got annoyed (or worse) at a program because they couldn't get it to work, compared to how many

Have you tried teaching kids (or just people in general) abstract concepts? Even maths is taught to kids in terms real world items and reasonable actions you can perform with them (you have 5 friends and 25 cookies, how many cookies does it

For some of us, the OS isn't a fashion statement, but rather a tool which is to be used to achieve other goals. It shifting around and changing its look is in fact a downside in that context. I don't think I know any non-tech peop

And Windows 1 and 2 were barely even used. Windows 2 sold less than 2 million copies. Windows 3 and co sold 7-ish million. Windows 95 sold more than 40 million.[1] There's a lot less people to complain about Windows 1 and 2, and those

The fact that the people learning it will be younger is not a reason to make it harder for them to learn. The computer doesn't need to look like other items out there in the world, but it sure is helpful, even if only so you have a r

Having people getting used to computers is not a thing that stops happening (short of people not having computers). Literally everyone who is born will need to get used to use computers. Having computers imitate real world items is useful,

That fact that they are common doesn't mean they don't need to get used to them.

So you have Android Automotive? (stupid name) Where does it get it's internet connection from? It's going to need that to keep the maps updated. I'm not sure how long the Google Maps app will stay alive in your case. I doubt

Carplay's a better fix for the map issue, since then I don't have to update them whenever I find an error. With Carplay, errors instead don't happen. The directions being shown in the gauge cluster via carplay is still not a

It's a non-fix if I have to do that every year (or every however-often-I-notice-an-error, the first error I noticed was within a year). Google Maps is constantly updated. Not to mention that Kia aren't going to be supplying update

by Telaneo 4mo ago
The maps? Why would I bother when I can use Carplay instead? The car's integration with Carplay? Even models that are 4 years newer than mine seem to still not have this. Not sure what's going on there.

I've disabled notifications for Google Maps, so that'd explain why I don't have that problem. It's either open and I'm actively using it, or I'm not and it shouldn't talk to me, so I don't see why it

My Kia Soul has a version of this, but it doesn't integrate with Carplay, and the maps that came with the car are already outdated enough to bother me.

Why buy a car where you need to do this and get a more janky experience, when you can buy one with it integrated, with no downsides?

That's horrible. That'd be a no-buy from me if I were to discover it during a test drive.

If you just use it for music and are happy with bluetooth, it's understandable why you don't see the benefit. Heck, do you even need a screen at that point (barring a backup camera)? For maps, having up to date maps is an enormous

I've never found it to be inconvenient. When I'm reversing, I'm not using Carplay actively. I guess it could be annoying if you're a passenger trying to key in a destination or something, but I'd just use my phone i

You can have a screen and buttons. If anything, a rear view camera is really useful, and you kind of have to have a screen for that to be of any use.

Your car is broken, and was apparently sold as such. I'd return the car for that, or just never buy it in the first place if I noticed it during research or a test drive.
