Sync 3 with Navigation, Android Auto's Google Map doesn't work?

Am I right? If the Sync 3 has navigation, it seems to refuse to accept the phone's Google Maps or Waze, but did pick up another app... so I know it's working.

I have updated and been using Waze on AA as I did before the update. No issues on my end at all?

Must be your phone or those navigation Apps on your phone because you should be able to switch between SYNC`s navigation and the other two.

Do you have a family member or friend who has Google Maps and Waze on their phone that`s working for them?

If so, see if their phone will work in your vehicle and if it does, then you`ve narrowed down your problem.

Let us know.

It was for a friend who just bought a Ford.

Turns out he had to have Bluetooth off before plugging it in. It worked.

The salesman was pretty knowledgeable.

I've always had to turn Blue Tooth off to get my iPhone to work on our F150. Our 2017 Explorer no need to do this. I wonder what the difference between the 2 systems.

Now, mine doesn't work. Have 2.2 non-nav Sync 3.

Google Map was working great, now it won't let me say Taco Bell and come up with a list.

I tried to go to Android Auto directly on my phone.. same thing, won't give me a list of Taco Bell locations on the screen.

It's 8:45 p.m., I'm STARVING!

LOL....I`d say not bringing up Taco Bell is a good thing.

Go Chick-fil-A.

But, if that far superior place to eat doesn`t come up then i`d say you really have a problem.

Why not update to 2.3.

ah, found out why, I guess Android Auto doesn't like custom DPI. I had it at 384.
