Nav System Out of Date?

[Chonkyrubi]

I have a ‘22 Rubicon that’s only a few weeks old. Dealer said the nav system is running the most up to date map, but there’s roads missing that are at least 3 years old. I can’t save a location for my work because the nav system doesn’t show the road as even existing. I know the road was built over 3.5 years ago and every other mapping system has had it in there for the last 3 years.

I know I can use my phone and plug it in, that’s what I usually do. But I’d like to be able to use the nav system on my $60k vehicle.

Does anybody know what the most updated map is? I haven’t been able to find that information to verify if my dealer was correct.

Was wondering that also, which is why I keep having to plug my phone in.

Nav system is not reliable. I tried to use it last summer for yuks and it directed me way out of my way in Montana and forced a 10+ mile backtrack when I figured out what was going on. I'm not going to use it again when Google and even Apple are better options. I know, sucks to have something we paid for that we can't use, but I would not trust it.

I dont know as much about our Jeeps nav systems, but for Lexus vehicles, they are provided the maps via a third party system. Lexus has no input on what region/area gets updated. It could be something as simple as that.

I no longer want a vehicle with built in nav when i can have carplay.

I won’t buy a new car without CarPlay anymore, it’s a deal breaker for me. It is nice to have the nav run separate from CarPlay though. I do a fair number of road trips and it’s nice to have the nav up while someone else controls the play list. I also like how the nav displays on the instrument cluster so you don’t always have to be on the nav screen.

Overall I do like the nav system in the gladiator, I just want maps that are more up-to-date

Car play navigation will allow this as well.

Most nav maps are out of date, except for google that update regularly. It’s controlled information from 3rd party people, not much you can do about it.
