Thoughts on Connected Navigation Pricing

[Luke]

It looks like this being disabled means it no longer adds chargers to your trips and the charger functionality isn’t available to Apple Maps either?

I put in a trip on both in car nav and Apple Maps CarPlay and it doesn’t show stops for charging anymore.

I guess the responsibility is now on you to make sure you have enough charge and whatnot to get to your next point.

this is a dick move by Ford.

Thank you for testing that. I was worried that CarPlay would lose that capability. I noticed that the other day the Apple navigation could not read the proper SOC.

I will pay for the service but they have to update the maps on a quicker schedule. Once every 3 years is unreasonable. I get,updates for my stand-alone Garmin twice a year.

When you lose connected navigation, can you:
Still remote start the car?
Does SiriusXM work properly with the few channels that are streamed via data link?

I'm there now. I was away on a trip when my BC expired.

What is available now with your "onboard Navigation only"? Can you enter a destination and get directions?

Yes. Neither of those are related to conned Nav.

Yes. Just no real-time data like traffic, weather, charger status, etc.

My wife's car has lapsed in "unpaid" navigation. No more charge stops on routing so no reason to use the Ford nav over Google or ABRP.

Remote start and location in the Ford pass app still works.

Drove a car for decades without it telling me were to get fuel, I think I can handle not having Ford route me to 50Kw derated EA chargers and having me drive to the wrong end of the parking lot.
