I end up deleting the cached data when I need the space ... ofcourse you always have the inbuilt system in the car if you keep it up to date (good
resource on that), no need to dig out your old devices and you have turns in front on your virtual cockpit or MFD ?.

This
resource is applicable to all Seat navigation systems plus other Vag brands which are MIB2 / 2.5. It is built from the knowledge base on the Leon forum from a long running thread which has the advantage of tracking the twists and turns over...

I like to get exactly to the spot I'm going to with precision which you dont often get with Google POIs. For outdoor activity you tend not to find car parks on Google Maps since its driven by commercial interests, no commercial interest it won't often get put on the map even if you supply it. Hiking and the like you need crowd sourced OpenStreet, the Android app Map Cordinates N45, E25, Pro is the one I use allows you to flick between Google Maps, Openstreet. Do the route walk into Street view, Google Maps direct limits you, so you can peak a boo as to where you are going. Then send those coordinates direct to Google and other supported map apps, or read out the location in DMS for car input, device input in the supported coordinates etc.
You don't get that level of functionility in Google Maps of seeing Openstreet. Uses the Google API and Openstreet combined.
Use that app for holiday planning in rental cars when you can build up your favourites. Similar functionality is also in the Japanese Navicon system used in Japan, which like Seat connect passes the coordinates from your device into the car or you tap them in using mapcode. So you can build your holiday plans before you hit the road. My annoyance with built in car system in Japan running old maps is why I champion updating built in systems on Seats
. Nothing so irritating than old maps. The Japanese navigation system adopted over there shows microscopic detail of traffic light positions, very detailed next turn lane positioning. Far better than Google Maps using local cartography companies. Across Japanese apps as well.
South Korea has also pushed out Google Map navigation (banned / blocked) for security reasons. Naver map and Kakao are the two they use. Didn't want North Korea using Google navigation in an invasion. So they lost market share in both with local commercial companies filling the gap. Here Maps doesn't have a presence there, ditto TomTom.
