      Why tf would a map update be 22GB? What is it, a CP2077 patch / DLC?

          Which will be useful to roughly four or five people out of their userbase!

      Is there no option to download it on a PC and use a flash drive to install to the vehicle? Or are they saying install time is 1-2 hours because the hardware is that bad?

      If I want to update the map in a 2016 Toyota, I have to pay the dealership about $200 to do so.

      Ouch, I doubt anyone would he looking forward to babysitting their idling car for 2 hours, just to install a navigation update 😭

      Older vehicles and standalone GPSes allowed people to just order a physical pre-loaded SD card, insert it into the appropriate slot, and that's your maps sorted with no idling or babysitting.

      While it's nice that there's no longer the excess physical electronic waste with the SD cards, I find it hard to see the cloud alternative as an improvement
