Nav features

[Berrigan]

I have had the truck almost a year and still learning how things work. Seems like every time I get into a new menu I stumble on a new feature. This morning I found out the nav has a screen that shows your current latitude and longitude and elevation. Very cool. The elevation is within 6 feet of actual. Maybe it measures to the top of the truck. It also seems to show the current satellites and signal strength. I wonder what else the 8.4 can do that I am unaware of.

The Uconnect/NAV manual is 120 plus pages, probably quite a few things.......like the annoying heat wave and flash flood warnings I get on the screen occasionally.....which I haven't figured out how to turn off..........

How do you get the "voice" to work? Mine won't tell you "turn left" etc.

No idea..... I haven't read much of the manual yet, I'm still at the "push the buttons and see what happens" stage......:-laf

OK -- curious now. How did you get to that screen?

Touch the upper left where it shows the next turn then turn up the volume.

Push the "nav" icon, in the next screen push the "information" button, in the next screen push the "where am I" button, in the next screen push the "GPS" button, the info is on that screen.

Thanks for posting elevation directions, we had been talking about getting an altimeter.

Wish the NAV screen would show the Elevation all of the time! Anyone know of a way to get it to do this?

The feature I like best about Uconnect NAV is the iPhone app where I can look up a place on my phone within the Uconnect app which uses Google. When I find the place we want to go I hit SEND-TO-VEHICLE and then get it in truck and it navigates to that place. We used this 6-8 times per day while on vacation where we didn't know our way around, worked like a charm!

Yes that would be nice. I haven't been able to find a way to do that.

The elevation is useful knowing if you are going uphill or downhill. This also reflects Inthe mpg screen. What is like to see is Rv parks listed....
