I just bought a 2013 with navigation. My maps need updated and the one that is available is 2016. Does anyone know when 2017 will be available. I would hate to buy 2016 if 2017 is gonna be out soon.
 
It has been my experience with several factory GPS systems that map updates are not done yearly. Every 2 years or sometimes 3 years.
The UConnect map update lists the latest as 2015.

After doing research it wasn't worth it to me to swap in a nav unit for my 130S/RES, I just went with the 430/RBZ and use Google Maps from my phone. Paid $150 for my RBZ which was basically new pulled from a Grand Cherokee. Having to continually pay for Map updates which aren't ever really up to date is a scam these days as you can either use your phone or buy a stand alone Nav unit which basically all have free updates for life now for right around $100.
 
Between Google maps and waze you don't need an out of date map. Instead try to install a device that lets you mirror your phone onto the u connect or even aftermarket with the same feature. Screen mirroring radios are really cheap. Check out cructfield.com for ideas, they service is great.
