AT&T Hotspot - Advantages?

I currently pay for the AT&T hotspot but other than having wifi for everyone in the car, what's the other advantages? For instance, I use the current navigation system in the car and I noticed that it almost always can find a store name even if it just recently opened. So I am thinking it is using the hotspot to update the navigation points of interest. Also, it seems to be up to date with current traffic backups and I wonder if it is using the wifi for current traffic conditions. Does anyone know?

You can watch YouTube if you sideload app 😁

Yes the navi search is cloud enhanced, but the voice recognition is not. But you don't need ATT subscription to have navi be connected.

I did the hotspot over the summer when we were doing a lot of car trips and my family needed internet access. I think it was only $10 in addition to my regular ATT plan. But then I upgraded my phone plan to 5G and it includes free hotspot so the $10 seemed like a waste especially since It’s not 5G.
