As long as Android Auto (or Apple CarPlay) and waze/google maps are available, why would someone spend money for an almost certainly outdated map?

Well, technically you can download map regions prior to the drive and then use them without internet access, you just need to remember to do it while you still have service. Nevertheless, as I said above, not everyone likes the same things even when this seems counterintuitive.

Paid $495 for the option, may as well make use of it
Hopefully, glenn got the correct year. For <$20 tempting to give it a shot I will confess I've probably used the GM maps less than 10 times total but it's the only way to get turn-by-turn on the HUD/DIC

While my radio recognizes the SD card, it will not load the maps. Luckily, AliExpress offered free returns.

Glenn - if you ordered from the link I provided and you drive a 2017 Camaro it won't work. It says it is for Camaro (2019 - 2023).

I didn't scroll down far enough. But like I mentioned, it was a free return. No loss.
Unless someone wants to buy it for $15, I'll be returning it in a few days.

I haven't updated my maps in a few years, so I went to the GM website to see how much they charge today. Mostly for HUD speed limit updates.
"There are no longer map updates available for purchase for your navigation system via this webstore or at GM dealerships. Thank you" Same warning when I try to get maps for my 2018 Escalade. Oh well .. Google maps works better for me anyway.

The most recent map update for 2018 cars is from 2023, and Here Technologies are no longer willing to sell it. I still have my 2023 map update USB that I bought last year, but it's coded to the VIN, so now, after I installed it on my car, it's the "hackers only" edition . The encryption looks somewhat simplistic at first sight, but who knows, it may have more layers than I had time to mess around with it. Quote:
Since the marginal cost of translating the new map data (that they must purchase anyway for the newer platforms) to older platforms is near zero, not providing the owners of these older vehicles with map updates for 20 or 15 or at least 10 years is a just another exercise in meaningless pennypinching, par for the course with any established US automaker.
