My wife likes the a la carte guidance option. It's like $12 a month, I think. Allows her to call up a real person and have the nav data downloaded automatically. I don't have it in mine, but she likes it so OK, fine.
I think it's generally overpriced for what you get.
I'm not aware you need to cancel, I believe it just drops everything beyond the most basic service, but I'm not sure. Nobody else has mentioned this.
But the Bolt doesn't have NAV, does it? So are you saying they push the address to the Apple Maps or Google Maps and rely's on your smartphone? I had my Samsung Galaxy S7 connected with Andriod Auto for the first time yesterday. I had some problems yesterday but today it was very easy. I just said OK Google take me to... and it just worked. So if guidance is the only item worth while, then I guess I am not missing anything.
Also, I have been very impressed with the GPS on my Samsung. It can be in the middle of the car and locks right in, unlike the old Garmins that needed to be in a window with a clear view to the sky. Yesterday when connected in the Bolt, it seemed to be out of calibration. Off by two streets. Then the lost GPS warning kept popping up. Is there something in the Bolt that degrades the phones GPS? Could the OnSTAR data be causing the problem? I do have the phone set for ultra accuracy which uses WiFi in addition to GPS. I am wondering if the rebroadcasting of the AT&T Wireless LTE Service over WiFi messes up the location service.
