[QUOTE="JackT, post: 20430, member: 7055"] - One would think a 2014 would come with maps newer than 2011. - This is the second time I've heard from someone with an experience like yours. The first was a guy in Arizona where an expressway had been there more than two years before. I would infer from this that few rely on the built-in Nav app, few pay HERE for updates, resulting in little motivation for HERE to maintain them. If GM and HERE were serious, they would have a way for people to try them out on their web site. It could feed into their OnStar connect sales but instead they seem to be pushing MAPS+ and Alexa. - This is useful information for me and others. My take is one would be investing in something GM and HERE have sunsetted. Nav was an expensive option and one would think that GM & HERE should simply tell people it has been sunsetted, give away their latest maps, and clearly state the MAPS+ is its successor. People understand electronic technology evolves more rapidly than other fields. [/QUOTE]
