Did some traveling recently and found some instances where the address I was looking for was not found on the Navigation (and not a new road). How do I get a more current navigation file?

Thanks

If you have a smartphone use that - it's FREE

Agreed, Google maps app is outstanding. I tossed all my gps units in the junk drawer.

Although the OEM navigation works great compared to fumbling on a little smartphone.

Your phone is too small.

I have no fumbling issues with my Galaxy S4.

Google maps updates itself for free, why pay?

I have found the navigation built in to my 2013 F-150 Lariat to be woefully inadequate. I created a route that was +/-5miles. One right turn, go about 5 miles and make a right turn and at home. The display had me about .5 miles to to road I was on. The GPS kept giving me instructions to turn to get back to the road I was traveling on. I'll stick with my Delorme PN-60 if I need to make a route.
