SYNC navigation map update
Searched and couldn't find it, but I believe there is a way to get a free map update. My truck is a 2013 6.7 Lariat (SYNC2?).
Can someone point me to the correct website?

This site claims to be an "alternative" but is just another "pay to use" service.

Here's an article claiming that Ford will do it for free during scheduled service at a dealer (article is Australia so YMMV):

I tried the free download and formatting thumb drives and loading the files... no luck and a waste of time. Given the numerous threads on various forums for what an asinine process it is Ford should definitely change the way they do things or just make a pre-formatted Thumb Drive availabe to eliminate the hassle.

I bought the A10 update on eBay last year and it has been fine.
Has anyone heard of when the newest revision will be available? I’m leaving in May for AK and it would great to have the software updated...

I purchased my A10 card last year in February. Have not seen any listings for the next version (A11?).

I just checked the card in my 2015, and its an A5. I'm thinking about picking up an A10 for cheap, or maybe an A11 if the changes are significant enough. Does anyone know how major these map updates are, and if they are worthwhile?

I like to keep the maps as current as possible at a reasonable cost in my 2015 F350. At this time, the A11 is approx $100. The A10 can be had for like $20.

I few months from now, there should be some A11 cards for $50 or less.
