How to set "Work" location in Ford Nav?

[JohnnyForensic]

So, if you have the top of the screen in "small mode" to see the bigger button row at the bottom, the Navigation button has a sub-button on the left for "Home" and the right for "Work." However, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to set the right button for work. I can call a saved location "Work" in the saved places list, but that doesn't do it. I can't find an answer with the search here on the forum, and I can't find it in the manual; it's very light on the navigation system in general.

Any ideas?

If I remember correctly, hit the work button and it will tell you it has nothing set. It will then ask if you want to use current location or a saved location or an address. This is off memory so may be a bit off

On the little box under the map, the work button is actually disabled. Pushing and long pushing does nothing unfortunately.

I defined my own Work favorite long before the update to SYNC arrived that added the shortcut you described.

So I had an issue similar to what you're experiencing, though maybe it wasn't identical. Sync would tell me to pick a location for Work and then it would refuse to save it.

I figured out what had happened (I already made my own Work)... So I removed mine from somewhere in the navigation settings, and then that tile shortcut setup thing worked.

I’ll try deleting it to see if it makes a difference, but I didn’t have a work location assigned until I started trying to program that button.
It’s probably some weird bug on my Sync version, so it’s most likely all for naught anyway.

I have a Job 2 car and do not have the shortcut, so I can’t help. ?‍?

That actually does help! (Plus, I’d take BlueCruise over a non-functional navigation shortcut any day.)

We know the Job 2 cars have an older version of Sync, so if you don’t have it, that tells me “unfinished feature.” It’s something they’re working toward, I guess, but the icon slipped through the cracks and appeared before the rest was finished. Now I can stop looking until the next Sync update at least!

Ford wouldn’t let me buy the Active 2.0 option, so no BlueCruise for me. ???
