Why do cars have outdated satnav maps?

I'm another CarsGuide reader who is upset about outdated satnav mapping and the cost of updates from car companies. Why can't they cut the price and get updates that cover the new roads I drive?

Car companies are locked into factory-fitted setups. Navman's new MOVE60LM comes with free lifetime maps. It's another device cluttering your car's cabin, but it's good value at $139 with road and safety alerts free every quarter.
