Mucking about in FordPass this morning getting ready to head out for home. I see I can set up a route in Apple Maps or Google Maps but no longer can create and send a route to the onboard nav. Is this correct or am I missing something?

The trip planner appears to be gone, for me that was one of the most useful things in Ford Pass.
It is one thing I missed in my Volt and Ram when they killed off the 2G connected services. It is far easier to plan a trip on the e phone than the car screen. If it is gone permanently hopefully they are working with Apple and Google to integrate vehicle data into the Map apps.

Battery data is integrated with Apple Maps, but preconditioning is not. You can plan a trip in Apple Maps. They need a manual preconditioning button in the car, like GM has.

I doubt there is anything that prevents the precondition function being integrated into these map tools especially if Ford works with the publishers to make it happen. If the plan is to dump native nav then that would be the way to go.

I had a thought, maybe they went this route because the nav map vendor can’t roll out the Tesla SC info in a timely manner. I believe they are using Here maps in the Sync Nav. My Daughter was a program manager there a few years ago and they are slow to publish updates.

Energy (bottom center) > Charge > Public Charging > use the map and filters to find chargers > tap a charger icon on map to select it > tap the charger info card at bottom to navigate to it and activate it.

BTW, I think when/if Route Planner comes back, this is where it will show up.

Most of the public charging stations in my area are no longer being shown regardless of filter settings. The ones that are there no longer show user reviews and ratings. Or the easy to understand icon for charge speed.

It's kind of hard to use that if the Public Charging map doesn't work in my app.
