str1der Report post Posted November 25, 2009 Ok I got my FFH last week with the full NAV package. From what I can tell since I have the NAV system I don't get the Sync traffic alerts. Is this true or am I missing something? Why would you lose such a great feature if you have the upgraded system? I know you can pay Sirius for traffic through Travel link but that's not the same thing. Am I SOL? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xmech2k Report post Posted November 26, 2009 Can't speak for the nav system in the Fusions, but I frequent other GPS forums, and so far I haven't heard much good about any traffic alerts. usually they alert you to traffic after you've been stuck in it for 10 minutes...

Rodeo Report post Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) Hosed because you lost your Sync traffic alerts? Or just hosed in general because of the price? I think the built in NAV is WAYYYYYYYY overpriced by about 50% and myself (although I already own a several year old Garmin) plan to purchase a new Garmin 1690 that does everything the Ford NAV does to include give you lane assist, traffic, weather, gas prices and more, all for under $500. In fact, the price has now dropped to roughly $449 for the 1690 which includes a free two years subscription to NuLink and is only $5 monthly after that. The monthly subscription price is way lower then Fords service cost and savings will add up quickly over time. https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=64339 Anyway, I just feel that while the built in NAV is nice it is certainly overpriced, especially when you are first forced to buy the "electronics package" in your Fusion before it allows you to order the NAV. If you didn't really want the electronics BLIS bullchit, then to get the NAV you are forced to spend over $2500 for it to be included.No thanks FOMOCO, I can change lanes without your BLIS and certainly can navigate for way less then you charge.
