09+ navigation system update

How do you update the nav system, do you have to do it online?

To update the nav system replace the disc with an updated one.
You can buy a new disc from Navtec or maybe ebay (both online). I think they are about $200.
Your owners manual tells how to remove the old disc.

I have a 2007 Navigator and it uses a disc.

I guess Ford redesigned the radios so they don't require a disc. I did not know that. I am no expert so this is new to me.
I hope someone else here can tell you how to get an update.

I looked it up and the navigation is done online at the Ford site. It says to download to a USB drive. It also says the upgrade is free but didn't say whether you had to be the original owner.
