I got this from Audi Digital Services:
Thank you for contacting Audi Digital Services.
We received your inquiry regarding the service Navigation with Google Earth™.
Kindly be informed that due to our dependency on Google to provide the “Google Earth” functionality for Audi Connect, this map view will no longer be available for some Audi models from 1st January 2021.
The replacement service, Audi Connect "Satellite Card", can be downloaded via a free software update during the warranty period and re-activated (license terms and extensions remain unaffected). Please, keep in touch with your preferred Audi partner in regards to the availability of the said update.
Quite why it is warranty dependant is a mystery as functionality is being removed. Hopefully it will be covered by the used car warranty as it will be a few weeks after my normal warranty end but the used car warranty also has 'weasel words'.
