djmodifyd Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Did your dealer charge you for it? Mine says he has to since he needs to pay for it when ordering. He does acknowledge he would reimburse me when I bring in the one I "should" receive from Ford. Nope, they just took my vin number and my mileage and gave me a card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 They can't charge for it. They give it to you and the file with ford for a replacement using your vin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll mention this to my dealer. Would make sense that if Ford sees a Nav card replacement through a dealet that it would cancel the mailing of the package to the owner.

cv27 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Why is the previous Nav SD card not compatible with 3.0.2? Anybody know? I've searched all I could but found no explanation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Why is the previous Nav SD card not compatible with 3.0.2? Anybody know? I've searched all I could but found no explanation. Because they changed the Nav software and the map vendor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cv27 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Because they changed the Nav software and the map vendor. So, Telenav was the navigation software provider (GUI) for versions 2.x on the 2011 Fords and Navteq was the map data provider. We also know that Telenav is still the SW provider for 3.0.2. Press releases mention Telenav are still using Navteq raw maps. Anybody have specifics on what actually changed with 3.0.2 that made the old SD card incompatible?

Dingo Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Actually, TeleAtlas was the map provider for the old cards. Navteq is new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlepse Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I too am interested. Wondering if future updates will also be like this so anyone with nav would have to pay for upgraded maps if they want to update the MFT base software. I highly doubt Ford will be so nice in the future and supply free map updates again. Tough if they want to I am fine with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The software remains telenav apparently. Edited March 26, 2012 by akirby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, just found confirmation regarding TeleAtlas in an article TMCNet. So now it all makes sense, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
