So what if it&apos;s saving him only £50 per year or whatever? Can we agree that it&apos;s nonzero? Ok great. Now we can move on to addressing the meat of the comment.&lt;p&gt;Which is that iOS users have been denied the luxury of excellent and free turn-by-turn navigation available on Android, and this maps update does nothing to address that.</text></comment>

And subscription costs. Your inexpensive GPS unit was put on perpetual clearance by the app you&apos;re disparaging.</text></comment>
