Help with something I don’t understand…

[dolvio]

There’s lots more to learn about that though. Start digging around in here.

I wonder if car play google maps will eventually be able to do that.

Yes, it does. And it will precondition the battery for when you get to the charger, which I don't think happens with Carplay.

When the battery is pre conditioning what does that really mean? I don’t level 2 charge at home and understand the battery will not do that before I drive to work either. I’m not sure what that all means.

There is generally an ideal temperature for the battery to charge at. Preconditioning preps the battery so that when you get to a DCFC, you can charge at the quickest rate possible for your charge level.

It will not until Ford changes the way they are asking for timing to the next charger. Currently they are asking for location, which Apple views as a privacy concern. If they simply ask "is the next destination a charger" and for ETA and let the phone figure that out based on traffic, there likely would be no issue.

Posted often. Predictive Navigation.

When my wife drives my car with my key fob, she gets the warnings about a route, and all she does ia select profile button 2 on the door.

Do different seat profiles, pressing 1, 2 or 3, also remember navigation settings?

It just came up and bothered me again today so I went through the process in the driveway when I got home. (Which it did not predict, it thought I was going to the gym. Maybe it was just nudging me)

Find that wrench on Ford's navigation map, then look for settings then look for notifications then turn off destination suggestions.

I think if I was talking to one of the programmers I'd tell them it's not a notification. In the sense that if I turned a notification off would it still be predicting and running in the background without showing it.

Thanks for asking the question I finally turned it off LOL

That is not a seat profile, it is a setting profile. Seats, mirrors, drive mode, settings...

It’s actually under user data.

Thank you very much.

I thought I read that settings and profiles were linked to specific keyfobs??

So does she need to turn on the car, turn off destination suggestions, and then press #3 on the door pad?

And how does it know where one is going to tell you minutes to arrival???

It’s actually under user data.

Edit: Damn there's two versions of destination predictions

The one under User Data is the collection of all the places you've been and when you start up it will show you possible destinations on the map. So you can click on Grandma's house if you want and start that navigation.

If you turn that off it's going to delete all the places you've been showing at start.

The one under Notifications is the one that pops up thinking where you're going to go and showing the turn-by-turn whether or not you asked for it.

Some of this info is based on a little i in a circle that the navigation

Thanks for your reply, I turned off both

Although from reading other threads on this it appears to turn itself back on periodically

Settings are tied to button, fob, and phone. Set them, then hold in memory button until it beeps to save them.

Okay I’m baffled why this keeps happening. I don’t use any navigation in the car other than google car play. Never the cars own navigation.

More often than not I get in and turn on the car and I’m being navigated someplace. I don’t get it. I have to switch through screens and cancel the route.

Can anyone explain what’s happening here?

I followed the directions on it once just to see where it though I was planning to go. Took me about 2 miles aways m home and then guided me back home.

Mine ('25 MME GT) turns itself back on every time I turn it off. All I have to do is close the Navigation Settings after turning Destination Suggestions off. I can immediately go back into User Data and it's turned back on again.
