I recently leased an EV and in it I use the built-in system because it automatically finds and reserves charge stations along my route. The interface is also nicer than Android Auto.

I also recently got to drive a loaner Mercedes EV and the built-in, AR enhanced nav system blows Google Maps away for city driving.

That only applies to EVs though. I use Android Auto everywhere else.

What's AR enhanced SatNav do extra?

When you are coming up on an exit or a turn, it uses the car's front facing camera yo highlight which lane you should be on, which way you are turning, and where the turn is, all in real time. It is especially useful in city driving. Saved my but multiple times when navigating the Atlanta metro area.

Thank-you for coming back.

Ah. That's rather nice.

Waze does that but I guess you can see it on the windscreen (to make it AR)?
