That is by far my 'laugh of the day'. Yea I know I live a sheltered life.

Maybe more Canadians should voice their opinions on this forum and some ideas may come forth...providing the moderator doesn't object...personally I don't care for forums that are full of complaints but 'opinions' & suggestions would be useful.

I suppose one could complain to Ford Canada Customer Service. It's no point complaining to the dealers. Going into google maps there are 3 listed cars you can sync to (In Canada that is)..Audi, BMW and one more, not sure which one but it's not the Ford Edge. I did a comparison of streets in this town (large town) and I couldn't believe how old the street maps were...(actually for 4 streets about 8 years behind) then I checked with google maps and everything was up to date. I think I'll update my Garmin Nuvi where I can download routes from Google or Mapquest directly into the gps.

Good one lol. I haven't found the slot for that little key attached to the fob, if you have to use it.

I don't think you are missing anything. I would love to be able to use google maps to select a destination and download it to my Nav. system. I have checked the maps used by Ford and for some areas they are at least 5 or 6 years out of date as compared to google maps (before anyone jumps to hard on this, I have actually taken some towns & cities that I know and compared the maps). This is why I will still use my Garmin Nuvi. Even Garmin's maps (navteq) are not as good as google or mapquest. I am sure the Nav System in the ford is good for large cities. Someone mentioned it worked well in Washington, DC.

Love your post. I just got back from two weeks in DC & Fairfax and I know exactly what you are talking about. It is not an easy city to get around in. I shudder to think what it would be like for strangers without a GPS. I have always used the higher end Garmins and I am not yet familiar with the Edge Nav System. I was told in Canada we can't even select a destination in Google Maps and have it downloaded to the Ford Nav. System. So I think I will always have my Garmin close by.

Meant to ask about Google map destination & sync. I do have the nav. system. Just wondering if I can select a destination in Google maps and have it sync to the navigation system. Read something somewhere but couldn't find the topic. Not sure if it's only available in the U.S. I know the traffic/direction info is only available in the US. Thanks.

Got back to Canada after spending couple weeks in Washington D.C and Fairfax VA to find the Edge had finally arrived after 3 1/2 month wait. All updates appear to have been done by the dealership and as of today everything seems to be functioning as it should. Can't find one item to complain about. However, I have only put about 100km on the vehicle so things could change...fingers, toes crossed.

Overreacting? Wow! Maybe pulling the cars off the road but not with frustration. I feel your pain and hope it works out well for you in the end.

Great news Shane.

Talked to my dealership yesterday (small dealer) and they have done a couple just recently without a hitch. Mine is still in Nova Scotia and won't be on the Island until next Wednesday. Unfortunately I'll be in Washington DC & Fairfax for a few weeks so won't get to see or drive it until the latter part of Feb. They promised me all the updates/upgrades will be done by the time I get back.

Great, hope all works out with your ride. I also use a Garmin Nuvi and have been for years. We are in Central NL.

I ordered mine the 29th Oct. It should be in this coming Wednesday. It is showing the exact same installations as yours. I believe their may be an update we are missing though. Is everything working on your Limited.

Yeah Carrie but just look at the daylight you get in June. Play golf at midnight!!!

Carrie, just curious, have you had any updates done?

Shane that is frustrating. I'm supposed to get mine on Wed. of next week. Not sure if I am looking forward to receiving it or not. Some people are having great luck and for a few it's a mess. I'm sure when you get your APIM things will improve.

Mine shows exactly like yours except SYNC Ver. 2.4

Mine changed as well.

This happened to me as well. Said I needed one update and within 3 hours the history showed it was loaded. Good luck, all will sort itself out in due time.

Shane this is what I am expecting in my neck of the woods as well. I have asked questions and have been trying to prepare for when the vehicle arrives. Personally I would prefer to leave it at the dealers until it's totally updated. If all the updates are in place fine, otherwise I will pick it up when it's done...besides they have given me a nice loaner until the Edge arrives.

Not really stressed Choff. Don't stress that easy having been in the Air Traffic business but just wanted to be prepared to ask/answer questions before I take the car off the lot. The techs are not familiar (yet) with the updating business. I have asked questions of them and suggested maybe someone should join the forum to get a handle on things..(said in a joking way of course). There is only one dealership here so no choices. It's not a problem with the download, I have it on my flash drive but would prefer the dealership do any/all updates before I take delivery. Thanks and take care up there in Alaska...love that State (especially in early summer).

Thanks guys. I don't want to beat this thing to death because we had a discussion about this a few days back. First off I will be getting the car in just a few days...it's on its way...so I wanted to be prepared to discuss the updates with the ford techs (they haven't done one yet). Anyway when I got the VIN, went to syncmyride and the following showed up Sync Ver. Gen 2 BT4T-14D546-AG BT4T-14F496-AK BT4T-14F497-AG Sync compatible software BT4T-14F603-AG That's all was shown. Then the information an Update ready for download BT4T-14D546-BE Ok since we had been discussing this earlier I decided to download the BE file ( just for kicks, somebody mentioned they had trouble downloading it)...everything downloaded great. I went back a few hours later and the BE file was no longer there... Is it normally removed after the download? I went into the history and it showed the BE file loaded onto the car...I didn't do any confirmation with Sync, I just downloaded the file (I don't have the damn car yet)...was this a coincidence or not...were they updating my system at the same time because it was the exact same date I downloaded the file to my flash drive. Am I confused? definitely . Any thoughts? Sorry for long post.

Wilson you mean you haven't done any donuts yet?

Does anyone know if the BE update can be done yourself or does it have to go back to the dealer?

Quick question...how do you find out when the vehicle is shipped? Is it through the dealer. Thanks
