So I ponied up $169.19 for the A9 map today. I hope it was worth it.

 

DAMMIT! I just bought A8 2 months ago! Oh well. Even A8 is pretty far behind in my area. Odd how companies like Garmin can be very up-to-date...whatever Ford uses cannot seem to.

 

I was waiting on A9 for a few weeks. They had A8 but wouldn't sell it to me for a discount. It's probably the same anyway.

 

In case someone else needs an upgrade, $104.49 on ebay with free delivery.

My truck has a nav system but I love the waze app on my phone so much, I find little need for the truck navigation system. Waze maps always seem up to date. Waze tells me where the cops are and directs me around trouble spots ahead. I'm told that cars make this app and other phone apps available on the car display. We are not far from navigation systems being a modern day 8 track tape player in our trucks.

The 2017 Super Duty with Sync 3 will display Waze on the screen. It's really pretty cool!

 

Yeah I saw those but I was hesitant to order because none of my 3 local dealers had them in stock yet. I thought it was a little sketchy that they were available on ebay already. Probably are OK, but I didn't want to take the chance.

 

Google maps updates daily!

My truck has the A6 chip. I never use the nav though. Lived here all my life so I know where stuffs at ¯\_(?)_/¯

 

Are ya'll up north? My truck came with a B7 card. I have no plans to take my truck into Mexico!

A = US & Canada
B = US & Mexico

 

Has anyone with Sync 3 seen any evidence of a map update? On Sync 3, there is no card, it gets updated via WiFi in theory. I did update my Sync 3 to 2.3 software version, but if the maps changed it didn't say. Neat thing about V2.3 vs V2.2 is all the same bugs seem to be there, so that's good .

It's unclear to me how you would pay for an update to the maps on Sync 3.

 

Some of us travel to places we've never been.

I use my phone for navigation and the truck nav for showing the general area and streets. Basically both at the same time in concert.

 

As I Stated in a Previous Post, my 2016 Navigation System shut Down until the Dealer installed an A9 Card. Now the Nav is AOK, and I'm $157 Poorer
