Navigation updates for new areas

[alwann]

Here's a question for people living in the new villages, or for folks with brand new cars.
Does your vehicle's onboard navigation system have data relating to the newest neighborhoods? GMC just informed me I can buy the software update for my 2023 Buick, priced at $100 plus shipping. However, they cannot tell me what's new for this region. Why buy if what you get is no more useful that what you've already got. I know about The Villages GPS and Waze.

One of the map apps for your phone will be more up to date. I hook my phone up to my car and the map shows up on my screen. I stopped using the navigation software supplied by the car companies many years ago.

Save your money and stick with either google or Apple Maps. My BMW, with the latest "map" update still has nothing south of 44 except how to get to the Coleman prison via Hwy 470 from 301. Nothing built int the last three to four years has been added and I would be willing to bet this problem will not be fixed by BMW. The database of hospitals, stores, gas stations, etc. has the same problem. Even my dealer told me the system is a POS and to use my phone. They were right!

Then again, you can entertain yourself cursing at your computer for its inability to find your house or the Magnolia Publix. BMW has programmed all the colorful language into the system and "she" stops responding and closes.

Have some fun with your vehicle's navigation system and ask for directions to the nearest Tesla Dealer. My BMW cannot find any Tesla dealer in Florida.
