What all is lost without subscription? Does little things like speed limit sign go away? That's a cool feature I like having to see at any time what the limit is without looking around for posted signs.

Speed limit sign is still there. I can still use navigation, but have lost the ability for it to see chargers, or route to chargers. Basically It turns into a map for gasoline vehicles.

Maybe this was already covered but Google Maps with Android Auto does a great job of EV routing. I don't know if it's available on iOS though.

Apple routing has come a long way since IOS26. While you can use Google maps with the iphone, the EV routing is only available through Android phones. Would be nice if you could use each of them with the other, but you cant.

For all practical purposes, I have only use Android Auto mapping. I've poked around on the built in nav and found it to be FAR inferior to the Android Auto mapping. I poked at it for a few minutes last night and was a little surprised that despite the statements that it will show chargers, I found it showed far more gas stations than chargers, and most of the area chargers that I know about did not show up. It was not consistent on brands either. For example, some Tesla chargers showed (most did not - all are available to us), the local E.A. did show, but the EVGo did not. I have never used it for nav. And as far as charging, I have always used my phone apps (Ford, Tesla, E.A. or PlugShare) or usually a computer before leaving.
