Is the FordPass App just a trendy waste of time?

Surely the tracking only works if you pay Voda for a sim package. I refuse to pay their extortionate prices.

Ford have said the tracking, remote and app features will continue without subscripton.

You only have to pay for the WiFi hotspot and live traffic features.

Modem seems to work without data. Sends alerts to your phone, Live Traffic, auto Updates, remote engine start, locking/unlocking. 
Vodafone data hotspot maybe for passengers with tablets . Can’t really think of any other reasons.

Is applink just for cars that don’t have FordPass connect ? 

applink has little to do with the fordpass app, it's the system that allows the mobile apps to connect to sync3  (I think)

The app is useful because it can lock/unlock your car (if correct spec), display warning messages, track your car, book services, call Ford roadside assistance, warn you if your alarm is activated, send pre-planned navigation routes from your phone & access owners handbooks and how-to guides.
Seems pretty useful to me.

May i ask how you get it to send maps to the sat nav? I've tried numerous times and watched YT videos but mine only works when I'm sat in the car, in which case i can just use the Nav directly.
