Well it depends if you want to go back to the ‘good old days’ where the sat nav was out of date before it was even installed in the car.

Then you had to pay £lol for an updated version which was also also of date.

The difference is today you have android auto or CarPlay. You don’t need the inferior OEM solution from a mapping point of view. If you want accuracy for routing and charging then ABRP premium and a OBD dongle is a cost effective solution over OEM. It’s just another tenner a month sub to add into the annoying tapestry of life

Skoda has or had their updated nav on their online portal, free to download and load it via an SD card if I recall. I did it on my mate's 2019 Octavia for his built-in satnav last year.

You only pay if you want Skoda to do it for you.

or just use Google maps which is what I do in my car free and live updates.... but that said paying lol money was always a choice..... yes it was insane if you wanted to keep up-to-date (I think nissan charged £160 for a year with live traffic

but you don't need them up-to-date . i bought my QQ in 2015. the dealer updated the map on purchase... then i did it again in maybe 2020 (when the new A14 opened around Cambridge).. but I didn't pay nissan prices. I think I paid £50 from a guy on eBay. I did my dad's BMW for a similar price.
