AUDI CONNECT AND GOOGLE MAPS

A question for our european fellow members, I checked an A7 in Mexico (Euro version) and lacked of a slot for SIM card and obviously did not have Google Maps either, I know Audi connect is available in Europe but can you specify how does it work?
Do you have Google Maps?
How much do you pay for it??
I believe you can use the sim card and use the phone capabilities as well without connecting a phone through bluetooth, am I right?
Thanks

In Canada we don't have a slot for the SIM

We don't get google maps

Somehow the car does connect through Bluetooth or GPS, as I noticed my time changed with DST

So the Canadian and Mexican models are basically the same, km/hr, no Google Maps, no sim slot, BUT auto start & stop feature and something with an A next to the e-brake that I never seen before.
Also there weas one version with no Nav and a smaller display, and instead of touchpad there were 6 buttons.

That button is to turn off the auto stop/start.

I was told by the dealer that button had something to do with the e-brake as well, because the auto stop/start deactivation button was in the front, next to the spoiler and the traction control buttons.
