58.6GB of map data just to make sure I’ve got all of Europe covered and then some. I will probably never drive to Portugal. But now I can.

    Cool! Never know when you get to Portugal.

    My car’s brand got sold by VAG to PSA. VAG said this is the license for all the map shit, you can buy it if you want so you can service your customers. PSA said No thanks!

    So now my car will never get another map update ever again, the latest data is from 2016 and as you can imagine doesn’t really match reality in any way shape or form. The builtin GPS was bad anyways, so not a big loss. I’m an old person so I still drive pretty much everywhere without GPS. But it can come in handy at some times, but I’ve learnt the hard way not to trust anything that stupid thing says.

    I’ve considered a phone mount so I can just use my phone for navigation, but never got around to it.
