Default No navigation :(

I nailed down a few trucks which I liked but to my surprise there is no navigation on a 53k truck ! I recently took a trip to Utah and other states in a rented ford transit and 50% of those wast landscapes had no network making phone useless.
Has someone made the factory Nav work on a non Nav truck ?

I've seen kits on eBay to give non-Nav radio's navigation but haven't bought one so I can't account for how well they work. But they are available.

Search here. There is threads about adding factory nav to your non nav truck rather easily.

There is not an easy way to add nav to a non nav, not sure where you got this information from.

I didn't buy nav since I knew there would maps with Apple CarPlay coming soon. What I was wrong about was the soon part.

Factory nav is useless and going the way of the dino IMO anyway..... Checkout google maps.

Or get a Garmin... Fords Nav is Crap anyway. I have it and use a Garmin. LOL

I have not seen Nav in a car or track that works as well as a Garmin unit. My wife has Nav in her Honda CRV and it's terrible.
