I didn't run into those new things yet, I'll have to make sure to pay attention.

I don't think it is really unfair, they should charge whatever they want. However, I do think that it is a bad pricing model that is going to end up not making them as much money as a different pricing structure might. Not only are people going to not pay for the updates at that price but it is going to cause people to completely forgo opting for in-car navigation systems for subsequent car purchases. I understand it might have made sense to set such a high price point when only fairly high-end cars came with navigation systems but that is no longer the case.
