I miss my 03 CL-S :(
There are some services that are available now with a monthly fee that let you track where the car is through the web. But I think it's because it's a cel connection to a central office of some sorts.
Mostly for parents to keep track of where their kids are.
Messed up, I heard it on the radio yesterday.. about $20/mo. I'd fucking dissapear from my house if my parents ever did that shit to me when I was growing up.
Other than that type of crap, no charge.

Some car manf. do charge a monthly fee for their nav. I know one of my co-workers pays like $10-20 a month for his navi. He gets free updates wirelessly though... He could be BS'ing me, but I dunno why he would. Can't remember what kinda car he has though ... I think its a Navigator.

Global Positioning System signals are free....for everyone with a compatible receiver. Period. There is NO WAY to bill for it's usage. Well I take that back. If I send you a bill and mark it "GPS service (unlimited).....$20" then I guess I just billed you.
If you're paying, you're paying for something else but you're NOT paying for GPS coordinates.

Its possible though that some manufacturer's NAV software requires you to subscribe to keep the NAV working. Don't know if my co-worker has the option to not update and just not get map updates or not... In that case, I'd just pay for 1 month every once in awhile when I wanted new maps
