Navigation took me on a long tour

So last weekend I drove up to north rim of the Grand Canyon horseshoe Bend. Put the hotel address in and set off on my trip. Well just before getting up there I’m noticing the route is going way out of the way to go through another park. Pulled over and put the destination in my iPhone and new route was established and saved over a hr and 68 miles of driving .

Do we have a setting for fastest route I don’t see one ?

 

It's in there under option once you have a destination set. But it still sucks. It tried to have me go 3 hours the wrong direction the other day cause it didnt realize their was an east bound on ramp. I have gone back to google maps

 

Yea I was hoping not to hear that but I have never had good luck with the factory navigation systems. My Vw and Audi though were excellent using google earth

 

Stock navigation is useless in my experience. Same issues, they choose the worst possible route

 

Long distance city to city stuff its okay. Around big towns it's been okay as long as I use the entune app to get destinations in. Generally speaking I just leave it up so I can see side streets and street names.

 

The in-dash nav blows donkey dick. Especially in Utah, where we use a grid system for addresses. Google maps has been flawless. If only a car manufacturer could pull their head out of their ass and just install google maps in their dash system. Silvercar's rental fleet does it and I love it!

 

Man If they would just treat the screen like a wireless monitor for the phone I'd be so happy. I'm a nav junky and would love to have android ish built into the head unit without paying for a crap deck with some old version on it

 

The last time I tried giving it a chance I was around 12hrs from home. Set it to go and also set Waze for the same destination. NTune had me taking an 18 hr route while Waze had me going on a 12hr route. I cant even try using ntune again after that.

 

I dont even use the dam thing. Total pain in the ass. But I also used to navigate via a Thomas guide. I use my phone with Google maps.
Edit.... forget about even talking/voice mode it, you will spend most of the day arguing with it.

 

My tablet with Gaia and APRSdroid makes me happy as a fellow mapping dork. i just use the head unit for tunes and some phone contacts. If only we could get ATAK as civvies for samsung tablets.

 

i have very little trouble with mine...lucky i guess.....did go to Salt Lake City (Layton, with gird system layout for streets) and it worked fine....but i don't really trust.....find myself cross checking with apple maps or google....my wife’s Lexus nav hardly gets used....she uses google maps or waze

 

Havent gotten into the aprs stuff yet. I actually just picked up an 8in tablet to use but USPS is saying its supposed to be delivered today but it hasnt hit the sporting facility yet so..... maybe tomorrow. I've tried gaia but I went back to MyTrails I wish lead nav would make it's way to android already

 

Wanna talk about shit.
The entune app.



It cant even find shit spelled out on the screen.

 

I also wonder if it can compensate for time zones and either way an extra hour 20 for the same distance is pretty big calculation error

 

I thought "Church of the Desert" was Burning Man?

 

I use Waze. I wish we could have an app for that on the E-tunes thing.

 

So far it’s got me everywhere I need to be. It did have a state park mapped on the wrong side of the highway but had two options for the same park.

I’ve found issues with every navigation program/system I’ve used including Google Maps.
