I’ve noticed after installing the latest map update that SYNC will no longer take navigation commands, nor will it list them on the onscreen prompts. I also installed the latest SYNC update that came out recently and that didn’t help. I’m pretty sure this worked before any updates. I have a 2018 F350 with the ultimate package... has anyone else noticed this?
Can you post a photo of your APIM IVSU numbers.
You get to that from diagnostic screen
eject + seek (skip speaker test) > APIM Diagnostics > IVSU software versions
There may be more than 1 screen.
I can send you a link for the install package if your voice package is not installed.

Have you tried a soft reboot or master reset of the SYNC system?
As far as I'm concerned SYNC voice commands suck for navigation. If I don't type the address in you can forget it. I live in the Los Angeles area and when I do voice it wants give me choices is some other state. My iPhone gets voice commands for navigation correct 99% of the time. I only order it on my 2020 for the traffic and long road trips.

The voice command on SYNC 3 is definitely not on the same level as iOS and maybe even Android.
Hopefully for some but not all 2020 Ford vehicle owners, perhaps SYNC 4 will have improved voice commands.
