Default If you have a 2013 with Nav, is it worth it?

For those with a 2013 and My Ford Touch with NAV, do you think it is worth it? Or would you buy the MFT without NAV if you could do it again?

I love mine. I would definitely buy the navigation if I had to do it over again. It is very easy to use, and is pretty quick. When I go off route it has me rerouted in seconds. I am very impressed with this as a stock system. Completely happy with it.

Maybe I need to spend some more time with mine because I find it a real pain in the ***. I use my phone instead. Lol

I got the touch screen with all the bells/whistles it offers but I havent used my Nav at all. If your not traveling alot meaning going on vacations and in other cities or need Nav because of your job then it might be a value. But if your like most people, I think you know your way around your local area and state. The phone sync is nice and I use that along with Sirius radio (while its free) but Nav is gonna be a vacation trip item for me personally.

Really like the navigation in my truck! One of the best interfaces I have used.

Mine came with the Nav. Had it not I probably won't have ordered the option. That being said, being technologically challenged I do find it easy to operate. Like Truck Owner says say if you travel alot it would be a good option, if not get a Garmin. They're cheaper, and work very good.

One thing to remember, the Ford Nav, system is pricey to update.

I've tried it a few times and found it cumbersome. I don't like that I can't input a destination while I'm moving (who's to say my passenger isn't entering the data?). I don't like that it reduces the stereo volume to give me directions, and the means by which you input the destination isn't great either. Seems to me I needed to know the zip code. This may be something you can change in the setup, but I haven't found it yet. I'd rather use my portable Garmin!

At first I did find it cumbersome and a real PIA. The more I use it the more I learn how to navigate the navigation the more I like it. I am getting pretty good at the voice commands, that's a nice feature. It does take some getting use to, totally different than Garmin or Google Maps.

I can see that as well. I think another poll option should be undecided. I may like it but right now I can't say I do. I like using my phone with GoogleNav. It automatically gets updated, very easy to use and is quick. It also flips to street view when you arrive at your destination. On the sync version it said I was there when the house was actually three or four further down.

I would also rather have the applink stuff that, if you have navigation, you don't get. I don't understand how this unit has everything else but the applink. Pretty lame but I guess I should have researched it first.

Yes, but only because in the Raptor it's either a fully loaded with Nav, heated/cooled seats, upgraded Audio, etc. or a base model without 90% of the other options available.
