UH, Google owns Waze, so this is not relevant.

hah, that's pretty funny. in all seriousness i use my cruise buttons all the time and the "braille" helps so you can control them. makes it kinda second nature after awhile.
even some simple contour to separate the buttons would help.

I agree, it took me several thousand miles of seat time to memorize the steering wheel controls

All of my customers are installing 5k led overhead lighting so now I have to buy special safety glasses, in that environment it's almost as bad as being outside.

As much as a PITA as that can be, I have excellent night vision. So yes, I have never used high beams.
No worries, I believe you. I've just never heard of anyone not using their brights. Now it makes more sense. You must love coming across those folks who install fake xenon blue headlights in their standard halogen enclosures.

Google and Waze and one in the same........Both products of Alphabet.

Not sure what you mean about " purely Apple BS".

The last time I checked, the factory navigation does not work within AA, Waze, or Apple CarPlay so does your "Apple BS" reply applies to the stock Ford navigation.

Just wondering.

Have a great day.

I drive about 7 miles on the hwy from one town to another usually not busy at 5:30 when I get on my way. I see people coming, they click off their hi beams, pass me and turn them back on. I just recently started noticing that everybody uses high beams and I never do. It actually made me laugh and now it stands out to me, people are always switching from high to low.

Edit: yes I can't stand all those goofy blue headlights. So dumb

Modern vehicles are much more brightly lit inside than older vehicles. Bright LCD displays in the instrument cluster and on the center stack, electroluminescent gauges, all LED backlighting. So the light "noise" level is high which causes the human eye aperture to close more...which makes it harder to see in the dark outside. Hence the need for brighter lights. Getting in our old 2003 Excursion with simple green backlighting and no LCD displays is refreshing, but the interior seems so dim at night.

As for high beams, many cars and trucks now offer auto high beams, which uses a camera to "see" oncoming vehicle headlights (or taillights) and automatically operate the high beams. The system that can be had on these 2017+ Super Duty trucks works quite well.

I hated it when my door latches froze and wouldn't latch closed when our temps dropped below 0.

I really don't like it when I open a door and all of the loose snow that's on the door is sucked inside the truck.

Have had the same issue with my door in cold weather. Flew open when I pulled out of driveway last week, mine is not in the recall date range either.

IIRC, the "purely Apple BS" comment was in response to somebody who was trying to blame SYNC because they could not use Google Maps within Apple CarPlay. I doubt Apple will ever do anything to integrate with Google, but for sure none of it has to do with SYNC or Ford's navigation system. Talk about a lot of cooks in the kitchen!

Back in 2012, Apple ceased to use Google Maps on iOS devices because Google wanted more concessions than Apple was willing to give. Thus, Apple Maps was born. At rollout, it was a pretty poor product that was vastly inferior to Google Maps. At this point, however, Apple Maps is doing very well and widely considered by industry experts to be the equal of Google Maps.

Frankly, I don't know why people get so excited about using CarPlay or AA. I've used CarPlay, and when your phone is attached it quickly takes over the system. The audio player is inferior to Sync, and I don't find the Nav to be much better.
