Sensus navigation certainly has itโs faults. Today I was directed along an A-class road which has been closed for a month. The map display clearly shows this closure but no alternative route was suggested.
goldy, don't hold back mate

I have the same experience as you, Goldy.
Ford, VW, Honda - all pretty poor, all based on Garmin or TomTom, which are now going the way of Nokia.
At least new Volvos are getting Google Maps integrated into them, and not before time. Strange how long it's taking for some carmakers make the mental leap into this decade, after years of deluding themselves that their clunky old in-house systems can somehow compete with the offerings of modern tech companies.

PlymDave, it is indeed just software but unfortunately it's software that operated on top of Android Automotive which our cars don't and can't have.

On Sensus, Google Maps can always be loaded via "smartphone integration" ie Android Auto, and I assume, CarPlay. I think someone said the other day dealers have an offer on at ยฃ240 IIRC.

I always use Google maps on CarPlay as traffic updates quickly with alternative routes that donโt go around the doors. Shame it only takes up half the screen but still better than any built in satnav I have had.
