Sick of the navigation that I paid so much money for

I can't stand the Nav. in my 2013 F150. It is just awful all the way around. Using MFT to enter an address is 100 percent unsuccessful. Most of the places I try to find, are not in the Nav. It refuses to re-calculate the route FOR A LONG TIME trying to turn you around if you want to take another road that you ALREADY KNOW gets to your destination. Honestly, if I don't already know generally where I am going, it is useless. So I use my I-phone-which is now illegal in many places....(using it for nav/texting etc.)
Using MFT in general is terrible. I have the latest updated version too. I have about a 70 percent failure rate just trying to use it to make a phone call. It never recognizes the names in my phone book.
ME: Phone
MFT: What command
ME: Call
MFT: What number
Me: Laura _______
Then I get the dreaded ding dum, "you can say blah blah blah". I then give up.

You know it not always best to have "Home " take you right into your driveway. If your car or truck is ever stolen all they have to do is hit "Home" on the nav, drive to your house, open the garage with your opener and their in your house.
If you set it close, I think you find your way from there on your own.

Never mind the insurance and registration cards in the glovebox listing your address....

I had the same problem in my 2013 FX4. The navagation system 'sucked' at first. I called three different Ford dealerships and got everything from "no fix at this time" to "you changed your tire size" as excuses for the problem. So what do I do when my computer or iPhone start giving me a problem....I reboot. So I turned on the lights and then disconnected the negative terminal (turned the lights on to assure that the system was drained of power). Let it sit for about 5 minutes and hooked it back up. That was four months ago...and the navagation has been dead-on ever since. No getting lost, no off-roading, no nothing that aggrivated the crap out of me at first. Try it, because even though Ford "doesn't have a fix for it"; this will fix it.
