You should realize this is just another situation where somebody wants to put their hands in your pocket.
On my daily drivers, Ford used to supply map updates for our cars. Now they charge quite a bit of money for the map update. What was infuriating is that the map that they originally supplied on our car was woefully out of date at the time of delivery.
One of my clients, an elderly lady, was charged $600 from Subaru for her SD card map update.
I hear BMW is charging a monthly subscription fee for certain options.
The greed is astounding and getting worse I’m afraid.
Thankfully got the awful print from microfiche for my data card when it was free. It certainly wasn’t worth $150.
Also thankful that Apple Maps, Google maps, Waze and other mapping programs feature real time updates, don’t go stale, and are free.
