#1 of 8 Navigation System by 30searay Dec 06, 2007 (5:10 am)
I was wondering is anyone else having problems with their Nav system. It seem as though the software I received with my 2007 Edge is at least 2 years old according to Nav Tec. The unit wants me to turn where there are no roads , has resturants that have been gone for over 10 years and stops navigating a block from the address entered. I'm begning to think the money could have been spent else where. Replies to this message: akirby (Dec 06, 2007 5:40 am) mustang25 (Oct 27, 2009 4:54 pm) tim013 (Oct 27, 2009 8:38 pm)

#4 of 8 Changes While Car is in Motion by taylor69 Dec 19, 2007 (8:47 pm)
I like the Ford Nav system, but I despise the "nanny" features that keep you from making changes while the car is in motion. Does anyone know of a way to disable the nanny system? Replies to this message: tim013 (Apr 01, 2009 11:16 pm)

Replying to: taylor69 (Dec 19, 2007 8:47 pm) Buy from a real car company like acura or honda that don't treat their owners like babies. They want to control people like the gov't. There is a reason why american car companies suck, they don't listen to their customers like this annoying feature. You can drive an enter stuff on honda/acura. And whats the bogus message to agree to traffic laws and not to use gps for accuracy. Some bs lawyer crap. Let me sign a release when I buy the car not to sue and disable that crap on my nav system. How hard would it be to put a weight sensor or seat belt sensor in the passenger seat so the nav is active while in motion, they put the annoying seatbelt reminder so its possible.
#6 of 8 Navigation System quirks by rangerj Aug 31, 2009 (8:38 am)
I have what I think is a glitch with my Edge's nav system. When I want to enter a destination by street address, the right half of the two columns on the Destination | Standard page is gray and I can't do it. Occasionally, it will either illuminate the four choices or when I switch to the Standard page, it will be usable, but not as a rule. I have used a bunch of other GPS units, vehicle and marine, and have never had any trouble figuring them out without the manual; I can't figure this one out with it.

Replying to: 30searay (Dec 06, 2007 5:10 am) About the Navigation System, the DVD can be ordered every year. Some new information may be updated, some old information may be deleted. Remember Nav gives you references by GPS according to the the DVD disk. Some roads are new, some roads and locations are old so they might be deleted. Contact your Ford dealer for New DVD disk. Update costs about $150. dollars. Replies to this message: tim013 (Oct 27, 2009 8:38 pm)

Replying to: mustang25 (Oct 27, 2009 4:54 pm) Why pay 150-200 for a dvd, its cheaper to buy a new dvd system every year and or get real updates from a computer for such system that is far more accurate, nav systems in auto are a big ripoff. I have one that is awful in a lincoln aviator
