RealGomer Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 We drove from Cincinnati to Austin and on three occasions the navigation totally screwed up. We had reservations on NORTH US 183 but the navigation took us to SOUTH US 183. I used my android phone to find the correct route. And YES we specifically entered the full address with direction. The the worse error was we wanted to get Little Rockn to Paducah, KY. Instead of routing us up thru Memphis and over I57, it took us along Arkansas state routes and dumped us 10 miles west of Doniphan Missouri. In the middle of a empty road. I re-entered midtown Paducah into the navigation as well as the address of a Ford dealer in Paducah into my android. About ten miles in it had us turning LEFT down a gravel county road even tho US 67 was less than a 1/4 mile away where one had to turn RIGHT. In the end, we traveled 180 miles out of our way. Long story but has anyone else had this sort of fun? Is it tied to the :censored: Sync software or just something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drolds1 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Have you tried a master reset or pulling the fuse altogether? Which version of the SD card are you using? Do you have the latest update? Check here. You may end up needing to go to a dealer for a system calibration/reprogram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the routing, if you used the "shortest route" option, you will find some weird routing. The "fastest route" option generally keeps you to main highway routes, "shortest route" gives you some interesting scenery though! Also be sure that you don't have the "avoid highways" (or something like that) checked, that gives you interesting routes sometimes.
