Last week I was travelling with my family to a ski park and when we got to some mountain roads there was a dashed purple overlay on the road we were on. I have never seen this before and did a search here and on google what it means but got no results. Does anybody experience this and know what it supposed to mean?

I drove from CA to Yellowstone at 75mph +/- then back for a total of 40+ hour drive and over two dozen fillups including a couple fillups when i was still in my neighborhood. I did not reset my gas estimate every fillup or trip to acurately see my general driving habit estimate. So far i am slightly under 25 mpg.

Thanks wlepse, i don't usually stray away from roads and paths that are not recognized by the map database so i might as well turn it off unless this feature is needed.

Thanks, do report back.

For weeks now i have been figuring out what these grey circle trail marks that seem to look like contact lenses.They seem to show up every couple hundred yards or so behind where i have passed on the road. Anyone?

I've had my Edge SEL for two weeks and...
jRE replied to GAPeachLuvsEdge's topic in Owner Impressions
Congratulations on your new Edge. I also got my SEL this year and i can't think of any reason to have regrets. Like all things new, the technology is a bit overwhelming at first but sooner or later it will all become second nature. -
Is the leather-wrapped wheel real leather?
jRE replied to Fkit's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
If it has stitching then more likely it's real leather. Vinyl or pleather will rip through the stitches. -
issue with rear lights

Did they go out suddenly all at once or slowly one at a time? Usually when the turn signal blinks faster it is because it's relay is getting a different load due to a busted bulb (could be a fuse too). Other bulbs that are wired parallel to the busted bulb will then be brighter slightly and eventually they or their fuses will fail too sooner or later because they are getting some of the amperes that suposedly should go to the original busted bulb. It the affected bulbs were wired in series, one busted bulb will make all of the affected bulbs stop working all together then you just have to find which is busted and replace it tthen the other bulbs should all together work. Same concept also applies to fuses too. Just check the fuses and bulbs. It's always a good idea to replace a busted bulb before it escalates. -
I have a 2012 just weeks ago and the hazard switch is a mechanical button.

Maybe they mistakenly replaced it with a non-nav equiped apim?

MFT report your successful installations or problems

I'm not in the edge right now but based on what i remember, i can chose browse music or usb device (that i sorted by folders - artist >album>songs). Chosing to browse Music shows me oftions for Songs, Artist, Albums, Genre. Chosing Songs shows all my music in the USB device. Chosing Artist shows me either option of chosing all their Songs or their specific Albums > selecting All Songs shows in alphabetical order all the songs from the artist regardless of album and selecting the first listed song plays all the artists music. Chosing Genre > plays all songs by all artist and all ablums of identical genre. Chosing Album > lists all the albums of all the artist that you can chose from. I spend a while organizing my music library that came from my mac after i viewed them on my pc because the mac changed all the song titles and other song info even the album cover if it does not match its online database. I got mine now sorted in 5 genres POP (includes RnB and regae), EASY ROCK (alternative, new wave, etc), FAST ROCK (Guns n Roses and the likes), METAL (anything heavier than linkin park, etc), KIDS (luneytunes and disney) -

i use a 16gb usb flash memory with nearly 3k songs. i can chose to play by genre (all artist) or by artist (either all his albums or just specific ones). I used to have issues when using my mac to prepare and transfer music to my usb device because macs by design also write hidden files together with each song that MFT reads and cannot understand thus displays corrupted images, a lot of duplicate songs, missing music info, unreadable mp3's, endless indexing, etc. All these went away after formatting my usd device using my Windows PC and did everything there from scratch. I think MFT as a Windows system has better compatibility and integration with hardware and software that are also Windows based wether it be cellphones, music players or how mp3's are prepared. -

I did not do a master reset nor pull any fuse at anytime before and after my update and it's all working fine. Hopefully i will never have to but time will tell.
