Yes, it is necessary. People want it. I want to be able to connect my phone to the car. To be able to use a navigation app. I'm not going back to reading maps (also, I never started).

Navigators have been in cars two decades at this point.

And they are universally poorer quality than the default navigation apps on phones.

The software in the navigation in my car is miles ahead of Apple Maps.

The problem is they charge $300 for a maps update.

For that $300 I can just pay for a third party maps app that has the same features.

They do their job just fine though.

If the argument for connecting phones to cars is navigation I don't feel it is the strongest one.
