Is it just me that doesn't WANT built in sat nav?

In general I think the technology with screens etc is moving so fast at the moment that they look dated in no time. What is state of the art now will be looking drab in two years time and dated in five. Cars I think look better without massive touchscreens and iDrives, dedicated switchgear is the way forward. What might be a good idea is if they left a kind of 'cradle' for a tablet though.

I'm slightly nostalgic for the times when your ICE was one of the ways you could personalise your box on wheels.

I'd be happy for there to be a 2din size hole on the dash that you can fill with something from a specialist manufacturer like pioneer, clarion, blaupunkt, alpine,Becker- all those famous names that are slipping away due to the usually no good, instantly out of date OEM stuff.

Why do built in sat navs go into a good thousand or more pounds but a stick on sat nav costs £100?
I've used my Harmon stick on sat nav for a good ten years now, never had any issues other than a couple of no signal in the more rural Wales landscape but even then it said un named road with it mapped perfectly. Strangely my Harmon updates itself and it's never been near a computer?!

Until car manufacturers can beat Google Maps or Waze in terms of traffic and best way to get from point A to point B, I would never used built-in SatNav so it's a waste for me. However, since they have the screen real estate already they offer it - I suspect. Also a good way to charge another £2000 to OTR price

It's standard across the range from 2017 including Connect Plus so one less thing to worry about; RTTI, multiple handset connectivity via BT, Apple Carplay, various other Apps with lots of planned expansion and free bi-annual SW and Nav updates via SD card.
