Sure, if you want to spend the money. I just received a map update notice for my pickup, for which the vendor wants $149. I played that game once, only to discover that the maps were still incomplete or inaccurate compared to my Garmin or to Google Maps. For $149 I can buy a Garmin unit that comes with lifetime maps. So on a lot of vehicles updating the built-in Nav system is a losing proposition; you’re better off spending your money making sure your next vehicle comes with Car Play or Android Auto, or acquiring a decent Garmin unit.

If the Subaru in question has never been updated, the owner may think it’s “crap”.
I recently had a discussion with someone upset with their never updated, 12 year old Magellan’s performance.
All these electronic devices need updating right out of the box. Some of the updates are good, some not so much.
Here in Mass, the state is moving towards exit numbers that correspond to mileage numbers. My guess is a couple of years before NAV unit’s completely catch up with all that.
