very frustrated with the factory nav system. You cant trust it to compute a correct route 50% of the time which means for long trips i still have to have a set of computer generated printed map quest instructions for my destination.
searching for P.O.I by name with voice commands is pretty useless 50% of the time also. It cant find a burger king restaurant 1 mile from my house when saying BURGER KING,or BURGER KING RESTAURANT. It responds by saying there are none in my area. This is just an example of how poor the voice interaction feature is with the navigation system.
Imputing the P.O.I manually by going through the various screens and pages on the 8 inch screen is clumbersome and distracting while driving and defeats the purpose and safety of the voice activation part of the system. It usually can find the P>O.I when searching manually.
Wish i never would have got the navigation system. Its the only source of aggravation on the whole vehicle. I have 2.8 sync loaded on the system. Have had my explorer since january, no other problems with the vehicle.
