Its the 21st century!
We shouldn't be updating maps and POI locations by hand - that's what computers and the internet are for...
I want to be able to seamlessly drive my car, not fanny around with remembering to fetch an SD card and copy files onto it.
I also don't want to be staring at a map to spot cameras - I have a big widescreen display I can look for them on - its called the windscreen. It only has value if it can tell me about them through audio, better still, only tell me about them if I am going (ahem) 1 or 2 mph faster than the speed limit.
Its not even as though I am talking about some strange new 5G feature that will appear on Tomorrow's World, its here now.
I believe the Mk8, like the new BMW's will receive map updates over the air rather than the cranky rubbish we have now which is only half a step beyond having to stick a new DVD into the nav unit.
Car makers are massively behind the technology curve - always have been because they work on 5 year life cycles for everything. Whereas computer technology moves much faster.
I might be old, but I understand this much!
