I read somewhere that non-nav could use 16Gb but nav systems needed 32Gb. 16Gb worked with my non-nav system.
Do you have navigation?

Yes. I have navigation... Makes sense. Thanks! Kinda pissed me off because I had to run to WalMart and buy one.

This has the instructions for the update. Program updates for the map are included. The content updates for the maps are not available yet, but when it is, you have to pay for it.

I had to manually update mine. The wi fi update has not worked for me.
Mine, as well. Download to computer, copy to stick, plug stick into truck USB, wait, once it installs, plug stick, back into computer so Ford will verify update.

Mine won't update. I connect to wiFi or my hotspot and tell it to check for updates. Comes back with 02-2019 as the last update. WTF?

Not unusual for a 16-18 to not have wifi updating work all the time. Visit the sync update site and do it via USB.

Yesterday I updated to the latest Sync3 (21194 I think), can anyone tell me what the update fixes or changes or is there a site that lists changes.

My 16 was the same way. My 2020 takes care of the updates.

Wow, just learned about this. Updated following directions on Cyanlabs. went from 3.0 to 3.4 sync and maps from 2015 to 2021 without issue(for free). just follow the directions on their website and all will be well took exactly 26.1 minutes(stalled at around 20%, but that was the huge map update). Not happy with the blue background in 3.4, but I will see if I can change it in the morning Gotta love a freebies that actually work!!
