I have no doubt that the fanfare will come, it's just early days and not officially announced yet.

Agree with your comment about the nav systems in any vehicle - have used the offerings from multiple brands and all are garbage. Part of the reason why CarPlay and Android Auto were such game changers and were quickly adopted.

I'd go further and say that even the experience offered by the standalone navigation units offered by Tomtom, Garmin, Navman, etc. aren't really up to scratch these days compared to phone apps. I was recently playing around with a family member's brand new top of the range Garmin unit and it was a terrible experience. Slow, poor UI, unnecessarily complicated to input addresses, and maps that were out-of-date (even though they were updated 2wks prior).
