Connected navigation system1
So, I am submitting my order for a 2LT vert today. According to the build sheet, the "Connected Navigation System-1" that comes with the car requires a paid plan. So do I understand that the Maps, etc., are not pre-loaded on the car's nav system? If true, then it's really no different then the On Star driven "navigation" system in my wife's equinox. No On Star subscription, no on board Navigation? It's not a deal killer in any case, but is that right?

Navigation and Maps comes with the Vehicle. The "Connected Navigation System-1" requires an OnStar subscription meaning you can load maps and routes on your phone through the myChevrolet app and then it will push to the car and load the route onto the NAV in the car. Many people who have a smartphone and connect to the car, just use either their CarPlay or Android Auto to get maps and navigation.

No. You can use the built-in NAV feature without using the (paid) Connected Navigation. The main feature of that is Real-Time traffic information.
Here is an explanation of what is included in Connected Navigation: https://my.gm.com/how-to-support/ons...ted-navigation
