Adding apps to the 12" lightning home screen

[Frankhpns]

Can someone elucidate for me if I can add any or all of the charging apps (plug share, electrify America, etc) to the home screen or should I just use the Ford map included while on a road trip? I use an Android phone. I tried Android Auto to no avail. Thanks

I think if the apps are compatible, they will show up. EA and plugshare show up on my screen.

I vaguely remember navigating with ABRP but I must be imagining it because it does not show now.

p.s. I had to google elucidate

I'm an iPhone user of Apple's CarPlay. ABRP shows up by default in CarPlay.

Use the Ford map. It accounts for more than the others. Waze and Apple Maps work well, but only to get you from A to B. The Ford Nav goes further and takes wind, speed, temp etc into consideration. It's more realistic than the others. Have fun!

Ford Pass help desk said they are doing away with apps and they would be using Android Auto or Apple Play for all apps in the future.

Ford told me they are doing away with app downloads and will be using Android Auto or Apple Car Play.

No worries. Wish they would make up their mind.

Ford NAV is not an app, it's in your truck.

I never said it was.

I also found that landscape mode works on maps.
