They still have onStar and push it despite all reason. I drove a 2023 chevy bolt recently, and couldn’t figure out how to get the nav software to render a map.
All the buttons in the UI just initiated phone calls with someone (something?), so I hung up and switched to carplay.
It is a shame that the onboard nav is busted. My old BMW EV has extremely good range predictions, etc., and my phone does not even attempt such things.
I’m not switching to Google’s ecosystem, so I guess I’ll just never buy a GM moving forward.
