Default Navigation 2016 Ford 150

Hi Guys
My 1st posting on this site.
Have been kicking myself since i picked up my New 2016 Ford150
I never got the Navigation install, thought id use my phone which has been wasn't one of my brightness ideas
So my question is , is it possible to have it installed now, is there an app that can be downloaded? would i have to speak to the Dealership or is there an after market one that's as good if not better than the factory installed .
Unfamiliar and new to the Truck .
Any info or input would be greatly appreciated Guy or Girls
Kieran

i dont believe you can "add" Nav to your truck if it didnt come with it. Some threads here about that, might want to google it.

I would spend $200-300 on a standalone GPS unit, mount it nicely and be done with it.

i second this, just get a stand alone GPS with unlimted map updates and you will spend alot less. then you can take it out when you dont need it.

I have a 2013 Screw with nav, and a Ford Edge, and an Explorer-
All have Navigation. In every vehicle we all use a garmin unit with voice commands. I find the Garmin unit is so much easier to use, easier to update, and I really like having it in front of me. Sad to say, my 50 year old eyes do not adjust as fast as they use to, and I find that I have to stare at the installed unit just a little too long.
the 7" Garmin is big enough that it is not an issue to see at all.
Just my .02 cents

this is the unit:
