I let my Nav subscription lapse. I knew I wouldn’t get traffic or mapping updates. What I did not expect, but maybe should have, the map reverted back to (I’m guessing) when the map was first made. Subdivisions and streets that have beem here for 3+ years disappeared on the nav.

interesting.. Mine runs out in September and I was going to let it expire as I use google maps via android auto. will follow this thread to see if others notice simliar things. $8 a month isn't much but there needs to be a reason to keep it and android auto improvements seem to negate that

That seems surprising! On the other hand, other than to see how worthless it is once in a while, I NEVER use the built in Ford Nav. I use Google maps via Android Auto. I also have a stand alone Garmin GPS (that is traffic aware) that I had in my prior truck. At times that is really handy - normally the Garmin zooms in closer than the AA map so I get the best of both worlds.
