Up date a GPS

Help... have a 2016 F350 with a built in GPS... the USD card has A-7 on it... can this card be updated? Can a newer version be purchased? As I'm technically challenged & would like to avoid the Ford dealer if possible, any advice from the forum...
  • Got a Garmin with LMT. Yes, it sits on the dash, but I don't have to pay Jeep/Garmin $250 for a one time update. The Garmin with LMT was less $$$ than one update of the built in GPS.

    Thanks for response and the link... was able to pull up software info on the truck and compare to the current #'s. Looks like a newer version is available. :)


    Yes. Ford comes out with a update every spring. We will prolly up date our 2014 Taurus again next spring.

  • It is very easy. You purchase a new card, pop out the old one, and pop in the new one. Only $149! I just updated DW’s 2015 Expy last month. Do it every 2-4 yrs on our Fords.

    Update info

    They are available from 3rd party sources, but I am wary of those. Or you can buy a Garmin and get lifetime free updates. But I really like and prefer the large screen built in GPS. Don’t like a unit stuck to windshield or sitting on the dash.
