hardergj Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Just bought a 2012 Edge Limited AWD w/Navigation. I told the dealer I wanted the most up-to-date card available upon purchase. The Edge came with an A3 card, and the dealer indicated that as long as I have this version, all other updates are attained via download (USB). Reading the various posts on here, I'm now not sure this is accurate. Will I have most up-to-date software/maps/etc, or should I be going back to my dealer. I'm in Ontario, if that makes a difference in terms of version availability Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Completely incorrect. A5 is the current version of the map card (SD). Only the MFT software itself can be downloaded, not the maps. The dealer should have an A5 map card for $120 or so which sounds like it should have been included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldo Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 The dealer is mixing up software with maps. If you have the A3 map card, then you can download all the latest versions of software. Some of the older map cards will not work with the current software. However as akirby stated, the maps are contained only on the SD card, you must purchase (or otherwise acquire) a new card to get updated maps. The A4 card has the same map data as the A3 card, but the A5 is the latest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
