Ford - Sync3 Map Update

Seems like it just went live in the last few days. Maps should be free for a number of years (want to say 3 but not totally sure). For future reference.

I get error #016, call customer support.

Might not have the newest VINs in? Anything MY20 already has the latest ones, and a number of MY19’s as well.

This was also posted in the 5th gen Forum the other day. Why is there a charge for owners of 2017 Explorers and free for 2018+ ?

Missed that one. Someone somewhere decided 18+ would be the cut off? No idea to be honest.

I put in my 2017 Sport VIN, my 2020 is in transit.

No error when I tried for our 2017 MkC, but $109 for a download that is almost a year out of date seems a bit much. Then again we are rolling on NA 15, which is probably 2014 data.

Ahh, OK. I've seen a few folks report issues with that site. Must be some kinks left in it. They got around it by calling in the order.

I did this for my 2020 ST. Put VIN in and it told me it was a 2010 and no update was aailable??

I don't think there are any updates for our 2020's. No one here has reported finding any update available.

 

[UofMEngineer]

Correct, the next map update isn't available yet.

How old is the map data from Telenav, the supplier of the maps program to Ford that is in our '20 MY vehicles ? I've tried to enter addresses for businesses that show up on Google maps, not so on the Ford nav. These are not new stores.They have been open at least a year.

 

[UofMEngineer]

It's the HERE data from 18Q1, which soon switches to 19Q1. The standard lag time for the current gen.

 

[Mikey*TX]

So are you saying it is updated yearly ? And, by the 31st of this mo being the end of 20Q1, will update again using the information gleaned in 2019 ?

UofM, is there a way for the Sync 3 specialist at my serving dealer to program the system so that Google maps has full screen coverage in the same way TeleNav does ?

No, the third party solutions are windowed on the 10" displays. You can use Waze via AppLink to get a full screen map with it's own caveats.

Correct.

Thank you sir. I appreciate the response. Whole bunch of stuff on Applink on google.
