Default Feeling stupid today or not alone?

After fifteen months I just realized with the factory nav running and the 8" cluster the compass turns into a turn by turn destination countdown.

I'm sure the manual describes it, but is it just me that breezed by this or does everyone and their brother know this...

Hmm, if I ever used the dash nav, now I know! Ever since I got sent to a ferry crossing with the nav in a 2013 Fusion, I gave up using the built in outdated nav and use a Garmin Nuvi instead. Never would have found this feature.

Wow... after 3 years with my truck, I had no idea it did that. Always nice to learn something new. Thanks for posting this!

That is one more reason why I just ordered the upgrade display.
As for learning things about your truck, I told a friend of mine when I first got it that there are 1,000 things to learn about the truck. After three months, I think I am on 800 something.
Just found out the other day that I have crooked shocks.

Don't feel bad it took four years before I found there is a page in my Grand Cherokee dash display to monitor engine/car vitals. I was using it to tow for two and a half of those so they would have been helpful.

Good find! I didn't know about this...now I need to go find that compass you described so I can try out the nav.
I see you are in the trip/fuel tab, so I'll start there.

Yeah, it was at the bottom of trip/fuel, I just never displayed the compass, since the direction is in the bottom right hand corner all the time.

It's pretty interesting seeing the distance of all the waypoints coming up.
