Recently, AutoNavi Map has opened a charging model, divided into membership and non-membership, this service has triggered heated discussions among netizens, causing many users to question the platform and abandon the idea.
In the domestic navigation market, it is mainly based on AutoNavi map, Baidu map, Tencent map, and Sogou map, of which 90% of the market share is occupied by AutoNavi and Baidu, and AutoNavi occupies 60% of it, and it is said that there are more than 700 million users.
In the past, all navigation maps were free, which did provide a lot of convenience to users, but now the charging mode has suddenly been opened, subverting the user's cognition, and some netizens believe that the capitalists are beginning to harvest.
As soon as such a policy came out, it triggered the idea of many users considering whether to continue to use it, and many users expressed dissatisfaction with the move of charging.
Behind this era of intelligence, I think navigation software should be said to be a must-have for almost everyone, whether it is walking or driving, navigation can give us a clear indication of the route, and driving is impossible to lack.
AutoNavi suddenly began to open the charging model, does it imply that the navigation market will lead to a new change, is there such a message behind it?
This time, AutoNavi fired the first shot of charging, divided into membership and non-membership, and opened members can have more experience functions, such as changing a skin, adding Snoopy's dynamic picture, etc., which can make navigation more dynamic and clear.
At present, the fee is not high, as long as 3.5 yuan, which actually has no impact on the user's economy, who cares about these few dollars, but it is just the money of a cigarette for the vast majority of people.
But it is the price of 3.5 yuan that has aroused the disgust of many netizens, in fact, the main reason is that the navigation map has been free until now, and the sudden charge is difficult for most users to accept, and even many users think that this is tentative, and higher fees may be charged later.
They think that they charge for any software, and even the TV charge has caused the simple TV at home to become an ornament. Some free software should be developed, not everything commercialized.
But I want to say that this is a corporate behavior, which will cost a lot of costs such as operation and development, for example, the products you produce are directly used by others without charge, are you willing?
Some netizens think that people have been free for so many years, and they are not willing to pay a few dollars, isn't that a prostitution for nothing?
Some netizens think that if you charge a fee, do you want to lose money if you navigate wrong?
even told many people that if you charge for it, you will uninstall it, so many navigation software, whoever charges will whine fast, it's a big deal to use him.
In fact, you can rest assured that not all fees are charged now, but the fees can provide more functions and better experience to member users, even if you don't open a membership, you can use it as before.
Even if you say that you will switch to Baidu Maps, in fact, Baidu Maps also has charging items, such as exclusive voice packs and other fees.
In fact, whether it is AutoNavi or Baidu, there are already some charging functions, especially for companies and stores to open stores on it, which can be tens of thousands of dollars a year, as well as other advertising revenues, otherwise what will the company do to maintain development and operation.
If it's all free, it means that we don't have a product to use, just say that some functions can be used, and if they can't be used, it's okay to use the basic functions. Even if the basic functions are charged a few dollars, I think it is reasonable.
