How to update Subaru Navigation maps [micro-SD card]

I recently bought 2016 Subaru Forester with Navigation. Car is very good in everything.
One of the service consultant told me that there is a map update available and asked me to update through online.
I was searching for the link on their www.subaru.com website but I could not find any.

Today I went to my service center to update Telematics software (I received a Recall email from Subaru).
I asked Service Adviser about the Subaru Navigation Map Update and this is what he told me;
Go to www.subaru.com
You will find navigation .
Update it over there.

But I could not find that option on their website. Then I got the Subaru customer care number 1-800-782-2783 and I called them. They explained me very clearly.

- Go to www.subaru.com
- Click on "Customer Support" at Top right
- Look for the question "Where do I find more detailed information about my vehicle's navigation system?". Mostly it will be a third question.
  Answer of that question is;
   For questions regarding your navigation system, please refer to your Owner’s Manual within the Resource Center
Depending on the Subaru navigation system you have, you can select the corresponding link to update your maps below.
