Just bought a second hand Vauxhall, about 5 years old.
We’ve discovered that if you want the Sat nav to take account of traffic and adjust ETA or suggest new routes, it’s £100 a year! We’ve got another older Vauxhall, about 10yrs old and that doesn’t charge for it, why does this one?
I get it tells you the correct route, but surely the whole point of the Sat nav is to tell you the quickest correct route?!

To have live traffic updates it needs to be receiving constant information, so that's going to have to cost something somewhere. I can only guess it was built into the initial purchase price with the older car
