What is a "Open source"?

 You can use garmin map software or open source. I have not done garmin but tried the open source. I think it's worth buying a garmin device with lifetime map updates. If you own a garmin device it's a matter of updating said device and copying a few files to a thumb drive and installing into uconnect.

 

The open source is finicky. I have not figured out how to delete the open maps once installed. They are large files and we have limited space on the uconnect. I tried to load the midwest and northeast open source maps but it only took the one I do not live in. Then the usb port decided it no longer liked any usb drives or to even charge a phone without dropping out constantly.

 

So, I would recommend the factory update or get a garmin device and go that way.

I have a 2014 Dodge Journey that I need to update the software, I'm not very computer savvy , so any laymen's terms would be helpful  

I understand that the upgrade is no longer available uconnect.

where can I find the information to help me upgrade the navigation?

Web site: info@ivgsoft, there is a charge of 13.00 to get the code. Make sure you have the model# and serial number.

Navigation wasn’t working when I purchased the car (used) the dealership said it needed a new radio, $600.00 to replace. Found one on eBay for a less. Installed it and put in the wrong code 3 times, message came up “ incorrect code- wait 30 minutes” , it wouldn’t reset , finally found out on a web site that the radio has to be left ON for 30 minutes. Then it reset with the correct radio code that I also found on a web site. Moral of the story.....get a new code for the new radio first

Got my navigation working. Was told to keep the unit on for 30 minutes. That did the trick. Thanks for the other comments

where can a person send the navigation to get repaired without spending $600.00.just bought the car (2014 Dodge Journey Limited )
