How do I update my Ford BlueCruise* maps?

Ford BlueCruise maps are updated automatically if you turn on automatic updates and set a daily schedule. This ensures BlueCruise maps are updated once available for your vehicle.

See below for information about the map update process and troubleshooting for potential issues. 

Updating Your BlueCruise Maps

To get updates for your BlueCruise maps:

  1. Confirm automatic system updates are on and scheduled to be received daily 
  2. Confirm Vehicle Connectivity is on. 

What if my BlueCruise map shows an expiry date that has passed?

If your maps are not updated before expiration, you will receive a SYNC®** pop-up message reminding you to update them. Visit your preferred Ford Dealer to update your BlueCruise maps.

Although a BlueCruise map expiration date may display on the SYNC screen, you should not lose your hands-free highway driving capability as long as you have an active BlueCruise subscription. 

If you need additional assistance, contact the Ford Customer Relationship Center using our Live Chat option or by calling 1-800-392-3673.

Requires purchased 3‑year connected service plan with regular map updates, FordPass® App, and modem activation.
