I would believe nearly anything at this point. Do you know what the work around is? I was just glad to get mine back to where it was by deleting the "in-car" profile that I have not seemed to need yet. I can still log on to the MyChevrolet site from the lap top and see info about the car.

I had been hitting the Exit NAV button and it would do just that. I noticed the map behind the Are you sure GUI. Next time I hit the go back and I got another screen that said connected services have expired and you need to connect to an advisor. Sorry no picture. Then I believe it said do you want to connect to an advisor? and I said no, and the map showed up. Now if I press the NAV icon I do NOT get the Connected navigation solicitation and the map pop up.
Lots of people said it could be done, but this is what I had to do to get there.
I do have a profile in the car and I did not mess with it.
Thanks guys.

Yup. That second display, asking you to "get started" is what I got (see post 59) after I "logged in". I did not go further than that. I just went back and deleted the profile. I see where the terms and conditions includes using and sharing data. I have no advice regarding accepting it. Since I have been using it all along, it may very well be that I somehow accepted its terms of usage a while back. I don't know.

I did not agree to the Telenav terms and condition, I backed out of them, and it said I would have to speak to an advisor to get connected services, and I said no and then the NAV started working.
It is true like a number of people have said you do not need connected services (Onstar) to get the NAV to work (minus some features). You do not have to agree to the privacy statement, you just have to go deeper into the screens and say No.

The privacy policy makes it sound like there are three separate (but I would assume integrated) navigation systems or services. 1) GM Navigation, 2) On-Star Connected Navigation, and 3) Connected Navigation. With GM Navigation, it stores certain information locally (according to the policy). With On-Star Connected Navigation and Connected Navigation with an active subscription, it collects and stores some of your data in a secure cloud data base. It makes it sound as if there is a Connected Navigation service that does not require an On-Star subscription. To sort this out, I went to the On-Star site. If you get the premium subscription, you get both On-Star Turn_By_Turn Navigation and Connected Navigation (which includes use of real time traffic data). See the clips below that show that. If you get instead the Connected Vehicle subscription, you get the Connected Navigation service with real time traffic data, but not the On-Star Turn-By-Turn Navigation. I apologize if everyone else understood this - I did not. If you have no subscription service, it will continue to work locally as we already know.
