On the left side of the dash, under the miles available, and above the battery %, is the checkered flag and "4 miles"...
This is my wife's car, and she does not use navigation, and there is no destination apparent on the full-size map screen.

How does she get rid of the flag and the "4 miles" text?

I get sick of turning this "suggested destination" feature off as it keeps turning back on.
Now whenever I see it I hit the voice command button and say 'cancel navigation"
Seems like the fastest least hassle way.
Then it's gone for a bit.

Do you use the Ford navigation? I have never had either of these things happen, the checkered flag thing or suggested destination. I have all of the Ford Navigation, data, etc turned off. Nothing is on under connected services except Share Vehicle Location and I don't get bothered. I use CarPlay for my navigation.

Same, but I still get it occasionally, Mark.

Never use it. Android auto all the time.
If you are the only driver of the car you might get away with it, it turns back on whenever the driver profile changes.
Both my wife and I drive ours so the toggle is always switching back on.
It doesn't try and route every day though, just occasionally.

Normally when I leave work to go home (3 miles) it tries to route me to my wife's work (30 miles away) - so while it may well be a frequent destination it certainly isn't at that time of day as we both work 9-5!
