Traffic is pretty essential, surely, if you are going to use the Satnav? They are looking to claw revenue wherever they can.
I think it’s actually worse than that. There’s probably only three services I really value enough to want to pay for and they are spread across all three categories. So I would be paying £277 for just those three functions.I don't mind paying a reasonable price to use the features but I think they are taking the p1$$ with these costs. I can only use 6 / 14 services available and yet will have to pay for all 14. £277 to get a 3 year deal (best bang for buck).

If it's going to be busy I use WAZE. It uses up to date maps & is live which is more than be said of Comand. My up to date Comand maps are at least a couple of years out.
Got Waze on Apple Play in the new car its great & free.Google maps now has a specific driving App. Waze is also popular on here
Thats ridiculous to squueze that from customers given what we pay for a car.
That said the technology moves so fast going subscription offers flexibility.
My old w220 uses TMC for dynamic traffic info (the data it gets from the radio) its ****** old technology considering but is still always spot on.
...). I've never owned a car new enough for such connectivity so ....
