Ford.com shows pending updates but FordPass app does not

Thee maps that are displayed on screen are two things. One the base maps installed at the time of the build. The connected nav shows an overlay. I had a Map update One time in my 21. It installed an updated set of maps in my APIM. I know it was done by Ford because I never did the map update myself even though I can. I noticed it many times when I would turn my truck on the overlay wouldnt display. I would have to reset my apim to get it back.. it was pretty obvious on the telenav trucks which are ICE trucks. THe Lightning uses Garmin nav and maps. So they arent as detailed in my opinion as the telenav.

The BlueCruise maps are the premapped Maps that allowed Blue Cruise to work. There used to be an expiration date in those for every quarter.

I dont know if any of you remember how many people I had to help get the new BC maps installed back before they did it OTA. I would have to create the map install and find the new AAM or AAL at that time files. They used to be installed with Gateway updates. They finally went to 2075 expiration date to prevent having a million people lose BC access like they were. Then they went to the file name versus date.

Thanks for the explanation. I remember early on we could see an expiration date somewhere then one day the date went to way in the future. Now it’s just a map version In About Sync.

The experience I described above with the street we are building a house on makes sense with your overlay explanation. When Nav expired, I could no longer see the new subdivision streets that I could see the day before. They came back when I renewed Nav.

I have been on version AAZ since August. Is everyone else on that version too? My history shows we are should be getting a new version soon.

Yes.. about every 4 months. My Guess the new one will be ABA or something like that. since the ran to AAZ

The Navigator uses a different File name for Blue Cruise Maps. Not sure why.. being they use the same gateway.

But yes the connected nav does indeed get you more recent updates along with online search feature. You will be able to find things that are not in the base data of the maps. I have always liked the Ford Nav since 21. I think its really good and is better now with the recent update 24s got.

Maybe Santa will bring the updates for 22-23
