Always up to date, and "free" if you don't count the cost of having a smart phone with a data plan. We both have those anyway, so it is free.
I remember when the first 911s came with a built in navigation system. One of my local PCA friends had one, and every year he had to pay for some expensive DVDs to update the system. Then they were discontinued. His system is decades out of date. He is left with the option of aftermarket replacement head units.
In my 38 year old 911 I put in a Balaupunkt Bremen head unit. It sounds great, has Bluetooth, and if I plug in my phone it will play the music on my phone, or Pandora, and give me turn by turn directions to my destination. And it looks right in the dash.

I did that on my Z06, it has a built on Garmin.
I like the factory radio because there's a button that raises the screen where there's a hidden storage area.
Plus I can't believe that GM won't offer support for a 6 year old vehicle
