Map Update

[IraF]

It's simple I Spoke to a Lincoln representative about mapupdates,. Mine has version 1 15 and put very simply, they haven't got a clue when update(s) will be

available. Company is HERE that supposedly does navigation. do a google search and you end up in a familiar place. Ford ends at 2016.

It's amazing that Ford, Lincoln pushed map updates on SD cards for 2016 and earlier. A5, A6, A7, A8 and told you that new roads, new places appear and one needs to keep up with navigation.  I purchased my 2017 MKZ hybrid back in Nov 2016 and the map update has not happened nor does it seem that it is going to happen in the near future.

To give you an example I visited the "ARK ENCOUNTER" in KY coming from the south on I75 and knew from "GOOGLE and GARMIN", that I should get off at exit 154 and turn left and go 1 mile and there was the Ark encounter.

Navigation system on Lincoln couldn't even find 1 Ark Encounter Dr much less the Ark Encounter, although it did find "Williamstown KY"

Not a very good selling point for the navigation system for Ford/Lincoln.

Here's a site , but totally useless. Why is it even there?

I rarely use the Navigation in my car. Google maps on my phone is so much better and with Android Auto and Car Play it’s easy to use on you car’s display. Every car navigation I’ve ever owned has been out of date, regardless of car brand. The exception might be Tesla, which uses google maps, I think

I owned the Lincoln MKZ 2014 and up until Nov 2016 there was a map update on SD cards having gone thru A5, A6, A7, A8, so I really couldn't complain about keeping up with navigation updates, but this is a joke with regards to sync3. I do have a Garmin with lifetime map updates and I agree with you since I have a link on sysnc3 with my Samsung so yes I do keep up via another way, but one shouldn't have to go thru hoops to get navigation.
