Navigation System

I am ordering a 2013 F350 and have a question about the factory navigation system. Do you have to maintain a SiriusXM contract for the GPS to work? Ford says it uses SiriusXM travel links.

I believe the navigation itself will work without a subscription. It's the traffic information, road construction info, etc. that you will lose out on without a Sirius Travel Link subscription.
