Am I going to need a subscription to use navigation now? When I pressed the Navigation button yesterday it looked like the car was asking to renew a subscription. I didn't have time to think about it, just used Android auto.

I could understand not updating anything, or not giving real time traffic, but nav not working at all??

If this were a daily driver for me I might be able to justify some subscription level. Hard to justify the monthly cost, though, when I don't drive it that frequently.
