Navigation in MFT

Recommended Posts

Whatever happened to setting an address in the phonebook as a destination in Navigation? At one time I could go to the phonebook and select an address as my Navigation Destination. Since 3.8 that option is gone and I have to go through the whole address entry process in Navigation. What a pain!

I never realized that had been an option. However, I'm done being mesmerized by the MFT "technology" in my 2013, and I no longer use the built-in navigation. The updates have done extremely little to improve things. Sad to think some useful options might have been removed.

If you can convince every phone manufacturer to use a standard address format, then Ford can bring back the option.

The ability to apply an address in the phonebook as a destination in Navigation was there before it disappeared in MFT before v3.8. Why remove a feature?

They probably have limited space, so to add new features they have to eliminate old ones.

The story I got in the fordsyncforum.com was that they had a number of 'invalid address' issues, and this was their way to fix. We got suckered into paying the $$$ for the MFT nav in our Explorer - I specifically looked for my FFH equipped to avoid it as a result. MFT nav isn't much worse than most competitive systems (e.g. Toyota Entune, Honda/Alpine) and like them is a poor consumer value - the map updates @ $150 are particularly galling when I can have more updated maps on my phone for "free". Or I can have a lifetime update dedicated nav for less $$ than the map update.

 

And all of the above allow phone sharing with the addresses...
