I looked on the Mazda website and they claim the nav system uses HERE maps. I have the HERE app on my phone. The phone app will find my home address (relatively new subdivision) but the Mazda6 nav still won't find my home address even though the firmware was updated. I love my 6 but the nav system sucks big time. That's my only complaint about the car.
Navigation map updates are separate to MZD firmware and its updates.
See below link:
Mazda Connect including navigation
Well that was mildly annoying to update. It would just clock and not update this afternoon. I called Mazda and they claimed high server traffic. They also recommended to uninstall the Mazda Toolbox and re-install it. So, this evening I uninstalled and reinstalled the Toolbox. I was then able to update the SD card. Took about 30 minutes. Total time consumed over the day was about 2 or 3 hrs including time on the phone with Mazda and a futile attempt to try their chat help.
FYI - Free map updates are only free while under warranty.

No problem!
At least you got there in the end.
Over here, it's the same but you can purchase it afterwards:

Why would you use NAVI that doesn't have real time traffic? Maybe its just me but I don't see a point. Wish I had Android Auto to mirror Google Maps
I agree, but it's what came with the car and it's better than having no system. For trips out of state I bring my Garmin that I usually keep in my MX5. Further, traffic where I live isn't all that bad. Now if I go anywhere near Atlanta or a trip down I-95 I bring the Garmin.

They shouldn't be doing the work without asking.
Dealers don't do navigation (maps) updates. That is for the owner to do. If you persuade them, then they might but for a fee
They only do firmware updates for MZD connect during scheduled servicing.
This is what happens here in Australia.

My screen does not actually have navigation functionality. It's a screen for the radio, settings, rear camera view etc.... In the past 2 years Mazda has released software patches, or firmware updates, or whatever the proper term is , to make the screens function properly.
Yes for MZD connect.

And the dealer normally charges for installing a soiftware-firmware update ?
No. As mentioned above, should be included during next scheduled service at least that's what happens here.
Only thing is you need to tell them to update otherwise they won't do it

Because you live in a smaller city and usually drive against what little traffic there is going to work maybe?
