New Navigation map update June 29th

[ktp1598]

I called the Ford CS # and they (of course) had me reinstall everything on the USB and when I went to update in my car it wouldn't notice it. Why would it? There's no 'update' available as it's already updated. When I called them back they said they were going to escalate it and I would be hearing back from them in a few business days. At this point 3.3 with 1.18 (showing) maps would make me happy as long as voice commands worked.

Amazing the Ford nav update site is still “down for maintenance“. I suggest Ford has realized what a shite show their contractor Alom has created for Ford’s electronics’ reputation, and will not reopen the site until strict verification testing has been performed on all of their update files. At least that is what I am hoping....

I was about to download the update and it says website down for maintenance, could it be that they are fixing the files?

So you're a glass half full kind of guy. We can only hope. You know it wasn't for maintenance.

If Ford doesnt released the official 3.4 update (as rumored) tomorrow after the Bronco release, I might try the Cyanlabs update. I have the files on USB ready.

The site is up and my eyes can't see anything different other than the marketing ads.

Agreed. My GT is at the dealer, hopefully they don’t have to pull the engine to reload my nav voice commands function.....

You need to download the files again and see if there are any differences.

I Just finished this out of curiosity.... Same files. Same License file too. At least for me!

I think the name/quantity of files would have to be the same, as the install mechanism in the car expects a certain set of files and a set file/directory structure. The only ways to know for sure would be to have admin access to the server and compare timestamps on every file, or to compare newly downloaded files with previous; on li/unix systems there is a utility called 'diff' that does this. Windows probably has something similar, but I'm not curious enough to find out (plus I already cleaned out my folders for the 'new' files).

Well, not sure if this is what you mean but 12 files were created 12/10/2019, 1 file was created 12/19/2018, 1 file was created 03/03/2020. Then the license file was created 07/13/2020. Everything was the same last week except the license file creation date.
