I guess people will soon be making a difficult decision on what to do when their free updates expire?
Pay $119 every year for as long as they own their RDX, OR purchase an AAWireless dongle ($90 USD) or a Motorola MA1 dongle ($100 USD) (and use Google maps or Waze for navigation)
What makes the decision even harder is that purchasing a dongle is a one time expense. Even when you get rid of the RDX, you can use the dongle in the next car.
I have been debating the decision in my head, since the free updates will soon be expiring on my 2020 RDX.

I don't mind plugging in my phone via cable and using Google Maps or Waze- in fact the car's built-in nav has been a backup for me, useful when I can't plug in my phone or need to find something without Internet access. I do mind incorrect speed limits next to the speedometer on my HUD that cannot be turned off!

The problem is the speed limits displayed on the HUD. I believe they are also displayed on the instrument panel in non-HUD models. I've triple checked the manual and you cannot turn this display off. So, if you don't update the internal maps, you get old speed limits.
