Ford maps suck....

I thought they used Garmin, I'll look when I get home but there used to be a reference to it in with the licensing information. On the other hand Garmin could use here who knows

Yes, I saw GARMIN splash logo in 1.6.x for a while (maybe a bug)

hmm, google maps has been doing the lane suggestion thing for years for me.

It *occasionally* does it for me, but so far, 100% of the time it's been wrong in my area. E.g., there'll be a 2-lane exit on the right, and it'll tell me I can take any of the 6 lanes to turn. When the Ford nav does it, it's always been correct (again, in my area, others may have different experiences).

I stopped using Ford navigation because it would make unnecessary re-routes (sometimes an hour or more out of my way) because my destination was too far from the next DC charger. But in these cases, I'm going to L2 or L1 charge at my destinations (duh). I would be fine with this behavior, but it didn't TELL me why it was rerouting, or even asking, "Hey, you won't be able to get to a DC charger if you go to this destination. Are you going to charge there? Or do you want to reroute to a DC charger first?"

Had I blindly followed it, I would have wasted an hour or more for no good reason. I think there were some ways to change this behavior, but I'm not digging through menus of options, and then hoping it works the way I want it too. Or the settings get reset after an OTA. After the 2nd time this happened, I stopped using it.

For the reason mentioned above, on two occasions, I have switched chargers suggested by the map when viewing the suggested route before commencing my drive.
