Down here it's free to download or you have the option to pay $40 and they will send a USB that is pre loaded with the update. I won't be surprised if at some point, maybe based on vehicle age, that they no longer offer the free download. At that point I will no longer use the Ford navigation.

I currently have an expired Nav license on my 2022 F350 Lariat. I typically use Google maps and sometimes Waze. These are fine when you are on highways and populated byways. However, I was out in Western NC this past weekend and ATT (me), Sprint (my wife) and Verizon (friends) were non functional in much of the area.
Soooooo, if Ford decides to release the Trailer Towing Navigation on the 2022 Sync 4 models as they originally promised, or we plan another road trip into the back of beyond, I will probably pay the $80 license fees. Otherwise, I agree...why bother?

I got an error message that I didnt get a picture of before I unplugged the USB drive unfortunately. Plugged it back in and said the update was completed and would take affect at the next restart. It didnt an my Nav Map is still on the original 2 20 it was before. Should I delete it an redownload it again or is there something else I should try and do?

I have been getting that same message on most start ups, it thinks it is downloading from a USB, but nothing is in the USB drive. I think it started with the last Sync3 update (not nav) I did several months ago. I'm also not getting full functionality from voice commands. I tried reinstalling it a couple times, I have done 2 master resets to see if it would fix it, still pops up. Just the other day I chatted with Ford about this. After wasting 15+ minutes of my time I was told all they can recommend is performing a key cycle and a master reset, both of which I had done. So they suggested taking it to a dealer.
