avi Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Any idea if there are map updates available for Sync 3 navigation ? If so how much does it cost ? I understand Ford use Here for nav data and there are options to buy updates direct. However, it appears updates for ford are only available from Ford.

iantt Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 i would have thought map data will be supplied via wifi or usb stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Thought so.Whether Ford will utilise that to good effect remains to be seen though.Being able to transfer music into an in-built SSD would have been a nice option.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk The Sync 3 system receive updates via Wifi but, apparently, this does not apply to nav map data. I suspect it's via a USB but unlike some other car brands that can be purchased from HERE (https://here.navigation.com/europe/) it seems its only available from Ford.

JW1982 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Currently there are no new maps for SYNC 3. The SYNC 3 map data that is currently factory installed is outdated. It uses a 2014 base map. There are a lot of complaints about this subject. in some countries some people even received a partial refund because of non conformity and Ford was not able to solve it within reasonable time. Based on several sources Ford is currently developing the new map data and a way to distribute the update. Official Ford communication stated that the update should be available within a dew months and that it needs to be installed from USB. Whether this update can be installed by the owner from a USB drive or only can be installed by a Ford dealer is still unknown. Some official sources say that the map updates will be free of charge for the first 7 Years. However this is not officially confirmed and I do not know if this applies to all countries or only certain countries. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuttonRider Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I assume that the maps as they are cover all of Europe. Is that correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
