I know there are numerous options for navigation in addition to Ford’s: Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze, RV Trip Wizard, etc. All of these require internet connection to begin navigation (but will continue to work if internet connection is lost). I suspect the Ford “Connected Navigation” is the same; I would have to have internet connection to enter an address so it could do lookup before starting navigation. However, since Ford apparently/allegedly does frequent updates to it’s maps, perhaps it has an address database onboard (like a stand-alone GPS device such as Garmin or Tom-Tom), so it could begin navigation even without internet connection. This would probably make it worthwhile to have as a backup while in a boondocking/remote location. (I did not test it before my trial subscription ended.) Can anybody who has active “Connected Navigation” confirm this?
