Nav Update

[ryyck]

I finished the Synch update, read about the Nav update that has been offered. I downloaded it, installed it.
Don't forget that the Synch update does not include maps.

(Kind of a dumb question), but if I use my cell phone w/ the Waze app daily & rarely use the default Ford nav, should I still go through this process? Thanks.

Was the update over the air? Or did you have to do the usb download routine?

I used the USB for both. The Nav update was a bit more confusing as to "was it done". But they both worked out fairly well. I had to reinsert the USB to have the final Ford confirmation file download, as per forum help. The Nav upload popped up with a finish screen then continued to to upgrade. I wasn't sure I was done. On recheck, it seemed finished and fully installed. Nicely done, and Ford did not charge me extra. I hope this continues.

I did mine also. There were a couple of exits on a highway here in NJ that changed numbers and they were not in the update

That's exactly what my youngest son does.
I figure it's free, I might need it, and I really over bought this truck. I still like the go and stop peddles, and I seem to forget how to get to the tire pressure via the truck console. But, if I ever have to go through snow, drive over a mountain, need to drive through high water...I can. The Ranger is 2019, has 5k miles on it...and kids argue who gets it when I'm dead. It's worth the possibilities.

I'll bet the update is always a year behind. That's why the wife navigates. LOL...
