Hmm, not as unreliable as SD, especially if you use an SSD...

It's all the same NAND, SSD or SD card.

...but not spinning rust... I have had more issues with SD and Micro SD, even decent quality ones...  I think mechanically, SSD is much more robust

SD is the same solid flash storage as SSDs, only mechanical HDDs have moving parts.

Even Sync 1 and 2 has some sort of NAND, which stores the software, it's just with Sync 3, they've obviously fitted a larger chip, big enough to take the maps too.

A bit like the NAND chips you get in phones. No different to microSD, just depends on the quality.

Says in the manual to update sync 3 via wifi. You just set it to automatically update in the settings

AFAIK that applies to the core Sync 3 system updates but not map data updates for navigation.

And by god does the quality and manufacturer matter! Cheapo knock off SDs are next to useless!

There's no HDD on Sync 3, it would be unreliable.

Seems you update via USB. Probably get it at the same price as the old SD cards and it just updates its internal database.

It has to have some sort of hard drive, probably ssd type. If not were is all the info stored?
