One of the companies making GPS navigators for cars used to advertise lifetime map updates. Small print: lifetime of the device, two years after release

I bought my dad's 2014 MKZ off him 4 years ago. They stopped producing GPS updates several years before I bought it off him. According to the device, there are times it thinks I'm driving through farmland when I'm at a Target parking lot.
