Quofan Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Does anyone know if the standard sat nav in the Ford Edge Sport covers France? We're going away in a couple of weeks and I'd like to use the built in one if I can. If not then I have a fairly new Tom Tom I can use but it's a pain having to carry it around with me all the time.

Edge of Reason Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I’m sure it does cover Western Europe. On your map, just zoom out, drag it over to France, then zoom back in and see if it details French roads. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will give it a try later on... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alienburt Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Just got back from 2 months in France. The Satnav covers ALL roads (even the small back roads) - you will have no problem. Bon route 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alienburt Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Also listen out for the place names when the satnav is talking - pronunciations are hilarious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim610 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 i would be concerned about it covering any new roads as the map is 4 years old with no update on the horizon. if you don't want to use the tomtom then plug a mobile in using Android Auto (or the iPhone equivalent) and use google maps. Much better than the inbuilt map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Or use Waze. Better than Google or Apple Maps. H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shocks Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I have the Sony system and I can't work out how to change the main view from birdseye to the view where your seeing the route as if your sitting in the car if anyone can help. It is set up as3D if that helps. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KugaEdge Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I'll be attempting to upgrade my maps from EU4.15 to EU7 soon. I've got all the files and install scripts ready, just need a couple of hours free time to get it installed. I'll report back on how I get on and hopefully provide a link to the files and exactly how I did it, assuming it works! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KugaEdge Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 2 minutes ago, Edge of Reason said: Ditto. 45 mins to do the registration file and the maps. Voice guidance update to do later then it's finished. I expect the voice guidance bit to take about the same amount of time. The failed attempt was because I put the files into a folder called SyncMyRide1 and referenced this path in the autoinstall.lst which *should* be possible (I did it because the second USB stick has a folder called SyncMyRide2 and a similar reference in its autoinstall.lst - just so I could easily identify which order to do the two updates in). However nothing happened, at all; no errors, no update - nothing. I concluded that although it should be possible to use any folder name, as long as you reference that folder name in the autoinstall.lst, actually it isn't. The upgrade process on the hardware must specifically be looking for the presence of autoinstall.lst and a folder called SyncMyRide on the USB stick to start the upgrade. I'm going to post my instructions and the complete two sets of files for each USB stick here later. Whilst they and the downloads are available on another site, the instructions there aren't terribly clear and you have to write the autoinstall.lst files yourself. Now I need to do it all again on my other half's Kuga. It's beyond me how two 2017 cars can be sold with 2014 maps and no official route to upgrade from Ford or from a dealer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
