Default How to update navigation maps without InControl

There is a recent Topic here on updating the navigation maps for F-Types with InControl, but I haven't been able to find anything on the older cars (like ours).

I don't think it is worthwhile to pay a dealer $199 USD to do this, since we COULD just use Google Maps or Waze. Still, it would nice to have updated road configurations. (When we had our F for 2 months, the nav directed me to turn the wrong way onto as newly posted one-way street!)

Anybody have better SEARCH skills than I?

I don't know of any way to update the maps other than the licensed (paid) update. I've done the update once, but am unwilling to pay for an annual update. I did it myself with the USB stick the company mailed me. It takes a ridiculously long time and the instructions to resume the update after restarting were just a little off, but it did work. The update is keyed to the VIN, so no sharing amongst friends.

I used to have the old system in my MY14 XF and on some other XF forums there were members who could provide map updates at much more competitive prices than the dealers. Still around 100$ though IIRC.
