    Do you know what version of sync you have? I'm guessing from your profile vehicle 2015 g cmax  it's sync2 . Is the screen a touch screen?

    Put your vin in to this website

    I updated to F8 a month ago. It took a very long time to download, it depends on the speed of your broadband mine took 15 hrs. and then just over an hour to update the Sat Nav.

    I presume you have either sync or sync2 given the age of your vehicle, and to get the latest version of the maps you need to buy a memory card with them on, can be got from Ford or sellers on ebay.

    F8 is the latest version of maps for sync3 thats a touch screen.
