Default GPS fun on MY16

I was driving down the Pacific Highway in northern NSW recently and had wonderful fun with the GPS nav.

Not only is it so far out of date I was driving "offroad" more than on it, but, several times, it told me I had arrived at my destination - a southern suburb of Sydney - when I was actually several hundred kilometres away, well north of Newcastle.

Anyone else had this problem?

Cheers
Numb Thumbs

PS When are they going to update the mapping???????

So, you get false, "You have arrived at your destination...." notices?

Cheers

Plus the "you are in a Restricted area" message
Dealer guaranteed that the vehicle had the latest maps when I bought it.
I didn't realise that the latest was 2013.
Jeep does not respond to emails on this topic.
Give them a nudge on their facebook page.

We had the same issue in same area as original poster. The road seems quite new, but not that new...!! When in for service we're too told maps are up to date. Took pictures of the screen to show otherwise. Due in again in a couple of weeks so we'll find out then.
