That's just it, I don't have one either.
I hope it's via USB now and through the site you mentioned.
It took them 3 years to send me a notification for an update on my Explorer Sync Nav so I'm not too sure they will update in the Ranger any time soon since we just got our vehicles. :)

Navigation Maps and POIs are usually updated each year. Since I use my phone with Google Maps in Car Play or just on the phone I don't bother with the updates. Waste of time and money and you don't get the current traffic and automatic rerouting that you do with GMAps or Waze.

Yea, any of the maps are just a guide, I've had engineers that I've sent to locations and the GPS tells them to drive into a farmers field to get to a site and they actually follow it. :facepalm:
Waze is crap in our region and most of the other apps are too, but Google Maps is best and they actually update on a semi-regular basis with Apple Maps being questionable at times.

It's definitely regional. I think it's important to keep 2-3 services available at any time. There was a whole area outside of Edinburgh, Scotland that Google (my default) just had no clue about. It was fairly recently developed. Meanwhile, Apple was spot on.

I've already noticed POIs that are years out of date. This is generally just something that car manufacturers suck at, and why being able to put waze on screen is so good. :)

It shows up in the right screen on my Lariat when you program a destination in the navigation system. Otherwise you just get the compass.

I know this is an old post but I am having difficulty getting the time and distance values to show on my South African Ford Everest (Ranger SUV) and wondered if you would care to share your VIN via a private message that I can compare the as built values and make any required changes in Forscan. Thanks
