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.
Mike. Comments are anecdotal or personal opinions, and worth what you paid for them.

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 DWโ€™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. Donโ€™t like a unit stuck to windshield or sitting on the dash.
