Somebody is lying!!
Android Auto does not work for me, won't stay connected (Galaxy S7 not listed as compatible). Besides, should not have to have a workaround!!!
Anyway.... I also called this place last month and was told maps released to Ford on Mar 12th too.....yet dealer has no clue.
"Hello William,
Thank you for inquiring about HERE Technologies. Although Ford uses our map data, we do not provide Sync3 support on their behalf. To obtain a map update, please contact your nearest authorized Ford dealership. Information regarding the Sync3 map updates was sent to all Ford dealerships on March 12th. If the dealership has questions or comments they can contact us at 866.462.8837. Since this is a "dealer only" product, we cannot help with the specific update."

My truck delivered with the A6 SD card. I updated to the A9 card for S38.88 on fleabay; I will pay that to keep the maps as up to date as possible. I also have a Garmin that I keep updated, and sometimes use Google Maps on my phone. The Garmin has led me astray fewer times than the others.
Given the choice, I would never order factory navigation because of the outdated maps. Unfortunately, the other unnecessary creature comforts I want typically come with navigation.
