I fully agree.  NAvigation systems continue to be a large fiasco since
they first appeared on the market.  There is still no easy way to update
them - IMHO the reason has to do with policy: who controls the car, who
writes the software, wo controls the communication system... these are
typically very different industries.

There is another tendency here: car manufacturers consider TomTom,
google and a few others to be the best source of information on
geography.  Whereas the best source of information comes from the
authority who controls these roads.

YEs, but car manufacturers dont want the same aftermarket upgrade to 
work on their cars as simply as it works on competition's cars, and 
that's a problem.
