And remember Nokia had Qt and Navteq. The former gave a great migration path from Symbian. The latter made offline navigation and routing possible in the late 2000s at a standard that is still unmatched by Google or Apple Maps in 2020. I often use my N9 as a car navigator as it's exceptional.

Are you updating the maps manually or is it still being updated through some web app interface?

My 2013 model year car has maps from 2011, so even if no map updates were installed after Nokia killed support, it is probably pretty modern by automotive standards.

Annual map updates (typically with a subscription) are already standard across all the major automakers. Most are also developing continuously updated maps as part of other initiatives like SDC.
