I got some time to dink with my new Ascent and was trying out Starlink. One of it's apps is Magellan. I clicked on it and as I thought, it's a Nav system. How is this getting it's maps and data? How is it tracking my driving? I'm going to assume the tracking is a built in GPS radio that all Ascent's have in them, but the maps? I want to mention I signed up for the 3 year, $75 Starlink product on the advice of my salesman, but didn't understand what all it does for me. Hoping a discussion on Starlink will get me going faster on this and other apps it has.
BTW, I use Android Auto for navigation via Google Maps app. Is Magellan through Starlink better? I like just saying, "Hey Google" to get my navigation up and running through Android Auto. I realize it's using my cell phone for data, but my phone seems to be downloading maps for the areas I drive around instead of always using the cloud for that.
