The map update were free that i downloaded. Last year they stated charging and it just isn't worth it to me for the price. I can use Google maps for free using Android Auto and in many ways it is easier. The best thing to me using Google is you can talk to it hands free while driving. That way if you need to enter or change a destination while drive you can do that. With the Ford map you need to be stopped to to that. The one down side to Google maps is that Ford only allow you to use the upper half of the vertical screen. But that doesn't bother me to much after using it for a year.
You've actually loaded Google maps into Sync and not your phone?

No, I plug my phone in and run Google maps using Android Auto.
Oh ok, thanks. Personally, I'd like to try to stick with Sync for navigation because Android Auto interferes with calls and vice versa for me.

Well, downloaded 23188 and after 3 days, I encountered the same problem. Turned the USB music clear off and when I came back from the store, the radio cranked on startup.
