If your Ford dealer is willing to install the update for you for $150, that's not a bad price. It can be a pain in the butt to do the update yourself. Here's a good test: If you're following your navigation instructions, and you suddenly find yourself being passed by a sailboat, it's time for an update. So, if you use the navigation system often, and drive a lot in unfamiliar places, then it's probably worth updating every four or five years. Roads get rerouted or changed for safety, streets get renamed, bridges get replaced, traffic patterns are modified. Now, not a lot changes in terms of roads. We're starting to see more over-the-air updating now, but it wasn't around when you bought your 2015 Explorer.Īnd since you probably spent $1,000 for the navigation system, you'd think they would update it for free, right? Most factory-installed GPS systems do not update themselves. Yes, you should probably update it, and yes, you're being scammed. Should I pay the $150 for the update, or am I being scammed? - Thom I was under the impression that a factory-installed GPS would automatically update itself. I received a letter stating that I can now update the factory GPS in my 2015 Ford Explorer.
