I stopped using built-in car sat nav as they are inaccurate, goes out of date very soon, costs to upgrade and lack features which are available in phone sat navs.

I now prefer cars without built in sat navs. Unfortunately my car does not have Android Auto or Apple Carplay.

I normally have about 20 'Favourite' locations that I lose and have to reenter and some times I lose track of the post code as it has been so long since I last used it.

I keep that list in my phone. When I change phone it will be available in new phone via cloud sync.

Perhaps a car with a built in sat nav will soon appear to be as out of date as a car with a built in CD player, although I suppose they will be cheap enough to incorporate into an EV's television screen. On the rare occasions the one in my fifteen year old Audi is in use, it is amusing to observe its confusion when using new roads.

Same with my old Jaguar - the last mapping disc(!) was 2011, so it does find itself driving across fields on the occasions that I use it for old time's sake.

It's even more amusing if you cross the Mersey on the (still fairly new) bridge at Runcorn.

By the way, the old (1962) bridge has reopened to vehicles, but of course it is tolled so it offers no saving over the new one - which is far more convenient for anyone except denizens of Halton (Runcorn & Widnes)
