Why would you PAY online connection changes for free maps? Do you pay for using GPS in your car?
(As I said before, I refuse to pay 5000yen/m (or even the discounters at 3700yen/m) for a smartphone connection, Yeah, yeah, I own both Android and iPhone units, which I get turned on temporally for testing purposes. However for my personal use, I just have a crappy dumbphone keitai that costs me 600yen/m and for data/maps/surfing I use free WiFi connections with my iPad, iTouch or ASUS netbook.)

but my car navi can't surf the net, email real email accounts, access the wall street journal, tell me the weather for tomorrow, play games, stream online music or video, google shit, lurk FG, call my mom, get movie play times....
or SKYPE IN AN EMERGENCY (because your keitai was really useful after the big quake, ね?)
but who wants any of that shit?

That's what your brain is for (and road numbers, junction names, road names, village names, those signs on utility poles). When in doubt keep going straight and sooner or later you get somewhere.

Apple Maps Errors Send Japanese to Homegrown App
NYTimes.com | September 24, 2012
...Mapion is one of Japan’s homegrown companies that is benefiting from Apple’s maps debacle, which has left local owners of the new iPhone 5 flummoxed over erroneous place names, long-outdated landmarks and train stations that appear to hover in the middle of the sea...Yasunori Yamagishi, who runs Mapion’s development team...
the biggest problem with Apple’s map, Mapion’s Mr. Yamagishi said, is that much of its data appears to be drawn from OpenStreetMap Japan, a Wikipedia-like service that contains a lot of incorrect and outdated information.
Moreover, Japan uses a system of longitude and latitude that differs slightly from the global standard, and Apple may have mixed up data sources that use the two systems, Mr. Yamagishi said.
At certain points, the difference between the Japanese and international coordinate systems can come to as much as 450 meters (1,476 feet), according to Japan’s Land Ministry.
