Ford traffic vs google traffic

[ByronViny]

Hello all
I been using the ford navigation system for couple months but I notice that traffic is not accurate, sometimes it shows no traffic where is a lot of traffic it causes incorrect routes during setup

I checked same routes at same time with google and Apple map and they show accurate traffic

Any ideas on how to upgrade ford nav system or any thoughts

It’s (probably) a limitation of Ford’s navigation provider, which I believe is a company called Telenav (but don’t quote me on that).

I suspect those limitations is one of the many reasons why Ford is abandoning Sync in favor an Android-based solution in the future.

@RagnarKon will ford do an OTA update for us all or would we have gto go to the dealership to have it updated. Once it comes out of course.

I would absolutely not expect an upgrade path for existing Bronco owners.

So far only two Ford vehicles have the new Android-based system: the new 2025 Explorer and the new Lincoln Nautilus. And there is no upgrade path for existing Explorer/Nautilus owners.

The Bronco will probably keep the Sync-based system until the 7th generation. Which should be released around 2028-2030 (ish). There is a chance they switch over during a mid-generation refresh rather than waiting for the 7th gen, but I would be surprised if they did that.
