ihateskies Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 I haven't this this topic yet and after this weekend, I'm pretty annoyed. Previous to the major 3.x update, when entering a destination point, the estimated travel time (lower left corner) would account for traffic along the route, and its accuracy was pretty good. It was at least on par with google navigation. However, since the 3.x update, the travel time doesn't account for traffic. When i entered in my destination for a 112 mile trip, it stated about 2 hours travel time.... in reality, it was 2.5+ hours due to traffic - google navigation nailed the travel time when i entered in my destination before leaving. Both systems identifed the same yellow/red traffic spots along the same route before leaving too. I have sirius/xm package, traffic, weather, etc... and everythign is checked green in my services screen. 2011 LTD AWD. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, found a solution?

Wulfgott Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Yep, I have the same issue. I have had it since the day I updated to the 3.x version. I have resorted to using my phone and WAZE or even my portable GPS which also does traffic depending on the day. Out of all the items the Mytouch system can do. This was the only one I truly cared about and used every single day. I would go back to the old version for this ability alone. It is annoying. There are also numerous locations that the previous version had in its map database that simply do not exist in the new version on top of the lack of traffic delay ETA calculations.

ihateskies Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 It doesn't appear the 3.2 update corrected this. Enraging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evangel7 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Yes! Thank you for posting about this issue. I started thinking I was the only one. I've spoken with Ford & SiriusXM numerous times. I am waiting on both companies to call me back with solutions. I've also been to the dealer 3 times and finally got the attention of one of the sales guys at Fair Oaks Ford in Naperville, IL. He is trying to get someone from corporate to weigh in. He was the only person annoyed enough to care. I will post on here with my findings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgieguy Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) We noticed this too, and have been relying on our phones as well. We just got pushed a new update on our Android phones, I believe jellyroll? Anyway, in it my Samsung Google phone google page not only estimates where i might be headed based on where I am, it tells me the time to get there. I would love to see someone write a MFT program that pushes info like this from a connected phone to MFT. But it seems that App development for MFT is stalled. Nothing has ever been written for it.....sigh Edited October 10, 2012 by Edgieguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
