As soon as my trucks infotainment system was updated to software V810, I received a new app download named GMC Map+ . Tried it out and had all sorts of issues with audio when using the app with iHeart radio app. Constant start and stop of sound like system has a memory leak or just plain old out of memory. Biggest issue was when I stopped for gas on a long trip. First, I stopped truck and opened door. While fueling I left door open and key in ignition. It was a warm day in October. As soon as I finished fueling and got into truck the issues started. Got seat belt on and started truck. Infotainment system went Bug "hit. First off, my music now was playing a FM radio channel that did not exist and was nothing but static. It was playing on top of IHeart radio app. Next I noticed that there was a gps symbol with the red line through it meaning no gps. Also noticed the temp display was gone. To fix audio I finally switched to FM and back to iHeart and that dropped the FM band out and left iHeart. Stopped truck and got out and locked door for 5 minutes to see if other issues would clear. Nope still no gps and temp. iHeart continued to break up. So continued to drive. Next day when I started truck everything was ok. That did not last long. Same problem again when I fueled up. Door open again. Then last fueling I closed the door and removed key and this time problem did not return. One thing though, iHeart sound still broke up. It always break up when using the GMC Maps+ app. Now home I removed the GMC Map+ app and went back to the older NAV app and no problems. V810 software updated works great. The GMC Map+ app sucks so be aware. I suspect that this app is a memory hog. It is 50megs of crap to load and who knows what its ram requirements are. It's the largest user of memory by more that 50%. GMC, I hope you read this because this app really bites the big one. Maybe it works in Gen3 trucks, but not mine.

Yea looks like a new subscription based nav option.  Needs the $15/mo connected services.  Looks like they rolled it out to 2018+current vehicles.

    • Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!
    • I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.       
    • Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.  
    • I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires. 
    • Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
