  I’m so happy to see someone else hate Discovery and love lower decks and SNW. I have no idea why people like Discovery, so many plot holes in my opinion, I hate it.

  I’m a bit doubtful of the animation they show in the article. There are active continental rift zones in East Africa and Asia, at lake Baikal, which doesn’t show any movement during the animation. The San Andreas fault isn’t shown having any movement in the animation either. Additionally, Europe and Africa are currently moving away from North and South America, but change direction in the animation so the four continents come together without explanation of data suggesting the direction reversal.

  It seems like this is a “what if?” sort of thought experiment as opposed to based on actual data. I mean, even current direction of plates could change tomorrow in an unpredictable way, so there’s no knowing either way.

  Not that it really matters in any case.

  I agree. I’m a later born Gen Xer (mid 70s) and generally like Bill Burr; this trailer looks painfully tedious.

  I had no idea this existed, thank you so much!

  That’s a good idea. I should do that. Also, thanks for being someone who understands wanting to search stuff while in the turn by turn mode. It’s hard to explain WHY I would need this, but it seems like something I experience at least once a week.

  I think we agree on that point, as I started.

  Well, unfortunately I don’t have wireless AA, so the cable can sometimes be an issue. Beyond that, they aren’t huge issues, but if I need to look something up in maps it won’t let me. I know, I’m not supposed to use while driving, but if I’m at a light and I want to do a quick detour search I can’t use the handheld (dash interface isn’t as easy to use as handheld). The contact search\phone app doesn’t work as easily for me and I find the voice search to be spotty.

  Like I said not big issues, but mostly just preference; I’d rather have my phone separate and free from restriction as I only use the maps through AA. My phone calls and audiobooks\podcasts we’re always fine through Bluetooth.

  I’m not sure a lot of you are reading that they are replacing ACP and AA with built in Google apps, including Google maps for navigation; they aren’t eliminating the functionality, they are replacing it.

  I think I would prefer this over slaving my phone to the car because there are some real annoying things about AA when I try to use it while connected to my car. The only big question is: do they require separate Internet connection or can I use my unlimited data plan phone as a hotspot. Having to pay for more connection services would piss me off, however I read somewhere a few weeks back that connecting to the Internet via a hotspot was supported.
