Does anyone know how to put a name on a navigation favorite? Instead of the address showing, Id like it to say “beach house” or “dog park”. Thx

Here’s the best thing I can tell everyone. If you put the destination in you iPhone contacts, you can save the contact as a favorite and tell the system to navigate to that favorite. You get 20 favorite contacts.

You can also tell tbe system to navigate to any confact if their asdress is in your phone. It has to be formatted a certain way it seems, like all one line, or it will tell you the address cannot be found. I’m still playing with it and learning but it seems the native nav won’t allow renaming of a favorite destination. Just allows saving that address. But again if you put your moms address in your phone it’s a non issue of you say “navigate to moms.”

I came across a site Today that allowed you to check if your navigation software was up to date via VIN. Mine was. So no need to downloads but maybe that site will have more Info in coming weeks.

The Nav system seems to have many shortcomings. I doubt they will be resolved in this generation of the system. Time to adapt or think of work-around.

If true, that is absolutely unforgivable. Auto makers know what needs to be done. Maybe with CP/AA they are saying %#*@ it

This what I see as its shortcomings:

1. Inability to set zoom level other than 1/4 mile for both general viewing and when routing is engaged.
2. Inability to directly mute and unmute voice direction.
3. Inability to name favorites and tell the system to ‘go to’ Joe’s House.

My 2008 car’s navigation system does all of that.

I would expect a brand new 2018 system to do all of the above, and have additional features, like selectable map overlays.

I will need some seat time when IOS 12 comes in and Google Maps and WAZE shows up in CarPlay. But yes, this is disappointing to me. Is it a deal breaker? Too soon to tell in my case, the car itself has so much going for it.

My target date for decisions is November-December. By then, everyone’s 2019s will be out, and I expect that production issues will be solved. (There appears to be some supply issues with the X3 and some driving aids at the moment.)

Yes, but she has only Regular Handling AWD....

to be fair, that Subaru would probably pull a 18 wheeler out of a snow drift and not spill a drop of the hot cocoa in the process.

The Outback I had was the best foul weather car I ever had. For me, that didn’t make up for other shortcomings.

Yes, I know you can adjust volume on the fly, while it is talking. I want to mute it altogether, and then unmute it when I want it.

I can do that on my 10 year old in-car system, and I can do it with Google maps app, and I could have done it with a Garmin when I used one. I have been using nav systems for years, and not being able to mute and unmute accoding to my needs is a real problem.

I suspect my work around will be to not use navigation at all, and go with Car Play.

My RDX has a glitch with the voice guidance. When I turn it off, and then I am navigating to a destination, I notice the music in my car drops in volume. After this happened a few times I went back to voice guidance volume settings and it was on “10”. I shut it off again but, whenever there is supposed to be a voice guidance, it goes back to “10”. Any suggestions?

i wonder if I’m adjusting the volume of the music when there is supposed to be a voice guidance and it goes up with out me realizing.
