Got an email from Kia saying my two free updates for Navigation have now been done, and any future updates to the maps will require a subscription via Kia Connect at £80 a year. No thanks.
I will NOT be paying £80 a year for sub-standard maps on a system that consistently gives late instrauctions. ("Turn right", after you;ve already passed the junction).
Especially considering the built in sat-nav is weak, cludgy and uses a user-interface thats right up to date, but only if the date is 1996.
Using CarPlay I get a fantastic satnav with some exceptional features, modern UI and flawless dynamic navigation for free. Just plug my phone into the USB port.
I suspect we'll soon get an email saying "CarPlay" will now be a subscription at £9.99 a month. At which point I will just stick my phone to the dash with some blu-tac.
