2021 Nav map - what did u get?
- Thread starter cj7
- Start date
Same here. June 2020 build.
FCA/Stellantis (and many other auto OEMs) are known for this; they put very outdated maps into their GPS systems. In a year or so, they'll probably offer us 2019/2020 owners a map update USB for $149, just like they did for the earlier 4th gens a few years ago... and that data was still 2+ years out of date. Better than 5+ years out of date I suppose.

Every manufacturer does this, the maps will always be 2 years or so out of date, even if you get the updated version that just becomes available; at least from what I heard.

Sure funny that I bought Sygic years ago, and get bi-yearly updates for free. In a year or two when the android/tesla head unit comes out to replace the 12.1 in our trucks, it will come out and the new will go in. So far the map updates haven't been a big problem, but sooner or later they will.
Big favor: could you post a pic of that screen? Trying to convince the dealer there is an update - they agreed to give me one update as part of the purchase agreement. Thx!
Got a 2021 Laramie w/12" Screen. Build Date Nov 7th 2020. Map Data 19Q2.
Basically a two year old map data file on a new truck. My Garmin Nuvi in my '08
Big Horn has Lifetime Maps and Traffic. I can update that every Quarter.
