New 2019 Maruti SLDA does not have offline navigation?

What happened to offline navigation in the new SLDA ? You only get navigation if you connect your phone. I am not sure if this is specific to XL6 or all new Nexa/Maruti infotainment units. There is no obvious map/data SD card slot in the XL6. Can someone tell me if offline navigation has been phased out completely or if this is just specific to XL6 ?

My new XL6 has 3 wired USB connection modes for the _phone_:

1. Smartplay studio. I paid Rs. 2000 for the NaviMaps smartplay studio plugin separately. I had already bought NaviMaps (android app) with unlimited offline navigation for India.
2. Android Auto.
3. Apple carplay

I dont want to connect my phone to the car all the time just for maps.

Offline navigation doesn't have traffic details and also become s outdated if you dont update them. No other navigation service comes close to Google Maps. GMaps is free and is the best out there.
Also, you can download maps for offline use.

Thanks. I get that part. NaviMaps has better lane guidance with intersection visuals BTW. It also supports traffic info. Google maps may be more up-to-date :-)

My point was, if I dont want to use my phone at all and just use slightly outdated offline maps built-into the car's infotainment in XL6, can I do it ? Was it removed in the newer version of SLDA ?
