How Cool is Chevy?!

Got an email this am from the Chevrolet Navigation Team.

I feel so special.

Not sure how many of you received this email, but did it ever make my day.

Special offer of only $99.99 to update my Chevrolet Navigation System Map.

Here is the text:

It’s time to update the navigation system map in your 2017 Chevrolet Camaro.

WHAT’S NEW

This new map update helps you stay on top of addresses, roads and points of interest that may have changed. Update now for just $99.99.*

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS SPECIAL OFFER

Click here to purchase the new Chevrolet navigation system map update. But you must act quickly — order by December 31, 2019, to save $60.

FIND YOUR VIN

Your vehicle identification number (VIN) is required to purchase. Please have it ready.


Aren't you all jealous?

I got the same email.

Two of the Garmin GPS units I own have totally free lifetime map updates. The third, I had to buy lifetime updates, and I think that cost me $50 or $75 bucks, I forget. For that I get several map set updates per year. Every year. No additional cost.

OR - use google maps on your phone connected via Carplay or the android version of that, updated weekly if not more with a much larger team maintaining it than anything else by far.

Sounds like quite a deal! If I were you I'd order 2 of them so I could save twice as much money.

In case some of you didn't catch on, I was being sarcastic.

In this day and age, they are still functioning as if it was 2008.

I use WAZE, Apple Maps, still ticked that the Chevy system only allows for 230 XM stations. I have a Pioneer in my other car that gets far, far more.

Acura sent out basically the same type of message but it was well over $100 to update it, I am think it was almost $200 like $189 or something. I just use my phone in both cars.

and your phone understands your voice commands. My Camaro Nav sys sucks when it comes to recognizing voice.

Nothing to do with OnStar. I think everyone with the factory Navigation and a 2016-2018 Camaro got that email. I posted it yesterday in the Audio/Nav/Electronics forum.
