Renew Ford Connected Navigation today? Why would I?

I just received this email reminder.

@Ford Motor Company : Why would I pay for this service? After 3 full years of access to the Tesla network, Ford Connected Navigation still won't route me to Tesla Superchargers. That is roughly half the available DCFC locations in the country and the only way to make some routes work.

Is there any value to this product anymore? The Soon™ on this one has expired.

I think I tried Forrd Navigation once, maybe twice and never again. I used Google nav for while but recent switched to ABRP for all road trip with realtime data. In my opinion there not one do-it-all application for navigating and route planning. I use ABRP but also use Plug Share to pick charging stops. I don't love the user interface of ABRP over Google maps but there's just better customization with ABRP and range estimation is much better. I think this is a struggle for all brands to get right, even Tesla.

In my opinion - NO.
I did not pay for it when mine expired a couple months ago.
