I recently updated the nav database and now frequently see limited or no street names at all. Anyone else see this?

I wish it would at least show the names of the cross streets! It seems random which streets get named. Certainly not chosen for utility.

So you see similar?

If you zoom in more, it should show the street names

neil0311

Nope. Same. Merry Christmas.

Mine does the same. I have to either zoom out or move to the side to get the street name...annoying sometimes.

Hmm interesting, but if they're newer streets I can see why.

The factory navi is ancient by technology standards. Honestly I just stick to Google Maps on my phone. Only time I've used the car navi is when I'm coming back from a new area, but by then I'm fairly familiar with my way back. Only used it a handful of times in a pinch and mostly I find myself getting my phone out instead.

I usually don't get street names unless I zoom in further. But in general the system sucks. I use Google Maps and I tie in the voice prompts through the Bluetooth.

The turn by turn navigation works fine. Seems a bit silly to buy a car with built in navigation and then use the maps on your phone, but whatever works best for you.

I think for folks who share your preference, Apple CarPlay and Google Auto will be a better answer. Why spend the money for an integrated system if you're fine with what the phone offers. For me, having to use the phone screen to see the map is a non-starter, but an integrated experience might work.

Navigation is part of the Advance trim which I wanted for other reasons. Yes I agree it is silly to have a better navigation system on your phone than the purpose built system in your car. I think the underlying problem is in the database. The car doesn't always realize that certain turns are possible and it routes me way out of the way thinking (for example) that I can't turn left at a certain intersection. The terrible voice recognition makes a poor system worse.
