Default Instrument cluster navigation

I have a 16' Platinum and I decided to use the navigation in the cluster for the first time on my trip to Vegas and I noticed that it's been freezing alot meaning the milage stops counting down and the next turn is stuck even after I turn on the road, has anybody else used theirs and has this happened to you?

I've used it for brief periods, just as a test, and had no issues.

I've used it quite a bit, never froze. However couple days ago the navigation itself froze. Had to power off the truck for it to reset. Hasn't done it since.

Navigation in the cluster???? Meaning the gauge cluster? Please explain...

If this is true (that it's available), I will be ecstatic. I thought it was ridiculous this wasn't offered. How can you enable it...I have a Platinum and don't have that option anywhere in my menus.

8" instrument cluster screens offer navigation next turn/mileage countdown when active route guidance. If no guidance is on with navigation the screen defaults to a compass.

I must be blind, I never saw this in the manual. I'll have to check this out tonight when I get home.

If you have a Platinum, you have it. Start Navigation on the center dash screen. Then go to the menus for the screen between the speedo and tach. It's in there.
