I use Waze for all trips further than the mailbox stand. I’d spring for $50 or so in a heartbeat for TSR - traffic sign recognition- on the HUD if I had either on my 16.5.Why not use google maps on your phone? These nav systems are archaic.
But eBay has them for sale.
That's mainly why I bought it, to unlock more of the functions of the HUD. It also adds the speed limit to the dash.I use Waze for all trips further than the mailbox stand. I’d spring for $50 or so in a heartbeat for TSR - traffic sign recognition- on the HUD if I had either on my 16.5.
This. A dedicated GPS solution always wins over a phone for this reason. Sure you could attempt to download all the maps to your phone ahead of time, maybe. But then you hear about the world's largest dryer lint ball and you go to the next state where you didn't download maps to your phone and you are back stuck without proper navigation......
I was in rural Ohio once, no cell signal, low on gas. It was reassuring to be able to pull up maps in the car and know instantly how far away and which direction gas was. .....
I bought the SD Nav card for my 2020 model. Didn't come with it even on my Signature. My sales lady knew someone who had the card and wanted to sell it. So I bought it used for about $300US. It's fine for the city but stinks when you get out in the country. Shows the roads ok but un named. The WAZE application is far better and names all the roads you are on in the country...if they have a name. All the warnings about traffic jams, accidents, police checks etc. on WAZE are reaĺly usefull. I very much regret having spent the money for the card. I never use it.
I think your sales lady lied to you.
I did try once quite a while back but now I don't remember the outcome however I don't think there was any change. I didn't know about the mating. As I said above it seems to work ok just without the rural road names that WAZE provides.
No, I'm saying, I think his car DID come with the card which she conveniently removed. He bought a Signature. The Columbian (I think I remember, aren't you the guy from Columbia?) HIGHEST TRIM CX5 doesn't come with a Nav card? I call BS. She took it out and sold him his own card back...
