Sync 3 doesn’t have a flash card(SD) slot like Sync 2(Older than 2016).

The Non-Nav unit has less storage, and can’t physically run the Maps.

Maps are available for free along with the 3.4 Update from several sources, but most use Cyanlabs.net.

So a bit confused. If the guy screwed with a Non-Nav unit and side loaded the Maps onto a flash drive, then it would have to always be plugged in, and could cause MANY issues with updates in the future.

i know that sir that there is not enough memory space and there is no memory slot (sd card) but he did it to my friend without using the usb all the time need to know what is the internal memory size inside cause then it will be clear cause he installed middle east maps which i think its smaller in size than North Americaerica and Mexico and Europe
