Modern Vespa

3rd party systems (Google/Apple, etc) seem to be the long term solution for the transportation industry. 3rd parties want/need your data, and that only comes if their product is useful, so they'll update and refresh to keep you.

Even most auto manufacturers charged $$ to update maps on their installed GPS systems (which look ugly and outdated after a year or 2). Manufacturers are not going to commit to a lifetime of software updates like maps. Their product is the vehicle, and you already bought it

HERE Technologies (trading as HERE) is a multinational group dealing with mapping, location data and related automotive services to individuals and companies. It is majority-owned by a consortium of German automotive companies (namely Audi, BMW, the Mercedes-Benz Group) and American semiconductor company Intel whilst other companies also own minority stakes. Its roots date back to U.S.-based Navteq in 1985, which was acquired by Finland-based Nokia in 2007. HERE is currently based in The Netherlands.

Now where are my nomex underpants?

I was just going through the current list of their apps to list all the supported models and found a different app listed as for Internal Testing. And guess what I found in the description of this? "test IAP". What does IAP stand for? It's "In App Purchasing"

I suspect it could be for renewing the navigation license which is only 3 years with a supertech and for me runs out in about 6 months. Cheapskates, should be unlimited

If it is only this then it won't affect me as I use my own app to relay google maps to the tft on my supertech

Well, the other thing is that Piaggio's GPS map thingy is…what's the word I want here?…ah, yes, "underbaked." I play with it here-and-there, but it's seriously short on depth/details. Your app, combined with Google Maps, is the solid move from here on out, unless the big P invests in seriously beefing-up their offering. (Won't say it can't happen, but will it?)
