I'm EA and have not received this update. I wonder if they are on hold again.
They don't release it to all EA vehicles at once. They have waves of deployments, even in the EA group that they deploy to. They release to a small group, monitor the rollout, and then do another group.

Yeah, but there’s a small issue with that, caused by a problem with the GIS database Ford uses. I live at 123 Main Street, Wayne, PA (not really, but bear with me). Apple Maps, Google Maps, Bing Maps, MapQuest, everybody properly locates me when I’m at home. Everyone EXCEPT FordPass that is. Ford has chosen to use some bizarre GIS database so that, when my car is nicely parked in my garage, and every other mapping app that I’ve found in the App Store agrees that my car is at 123 Main Street, Wayne, PA, FordPass insists my car is at 125 Main Street, Wayne, PA, even though the blue dot is properly positioned. For some stupid reason, FordPass has the house number 125 very close to my garage and my house number, 123, some place in my back yard. So, if I try to tell FordPass to only charge when I’m “at home” my car will never charge ?
None of the various maps (Google, Apple, Waze, Ford etc) recognize my address as existing at all. They simply give a range of addresses I’m at (123 Main Street - 129 Main Street). The way I got around that issue of not recognizing where your address and location really was, was to select “use current position” when I set up the home charge location. Worked for me anyway.

Every map service allows you to fix your address. The address for my current house, and my last one, were down the street from me lol. I googled how to update on each service and what maps DoorDash/Uber Eats, etc. all use and spent no more than 20 minutes updating all of them. Some were instant, I think Google I had to do twice. Totally worth it.

I live in a rural area. The lots around here are mostly undeveloped and have no address until you request one from the county planning department. Not unexpected. I’ll see how to submit a correction. Thanks for the tip.

If nothing else it might help stop FedEx and UPS from dropping packages at the wrong house cause they’re address sign illiterate. Nah …. ;)

The worst offenders around here are Amazon drivers. I’m convinced illiteracy is a prerequisite to getting a job at Amazon ?

Amazon Air flies into Kona. From there the packages are turned over to the USPS. We don’t have that “experience” yet. ;)

Or, you know what? Instead my having to waste my time doing their jobs for them, pro bono, they could just go to my county’s GIS website, which has all this information very accurately, and freely available for their use ?

You might want to see if Amazon Air actually hired any licensed pilots, or if they just found some kids who got high scores on Microsoft Flight Simulator ? I wouldn’t be surprised if they considered 150 hours in a Cessna 152 as qualified to fly whatever they use.

I have begged for something along the lines you speak of. While I do work for Ford, they don’t treat us as anything but regular consumers in these cases.
