Ford Nav is better than ever!

Did Google Maps include charging stops?

Sorry I should have clarified, my trip was only 160 miles and I was starting at 100%. Ford nav said that I didn’t need any charge stops.

If they would update my 2023 to include Tesla chargers I would use it.

In my opinion, If you’re driving in an unfamiliar area, Ford Nav is probably the clearest and easiest to follow of your nav choices. ABRP can be ambiguous with highway exits that are spaced closely together among other issues. Ford takes full use of your touchscreen and dash to illustrate exactly which exit and lanes you should be in. Its voice prompts are also noticeably earlier than some of the other navigation apps. Still not convinced it really preconditions the battery. ABRP is still probably best for preplanning road trips.

Yes, if it would navigate to Tesla Superchargers I'd re-up my subscription. However, it has taken far too long for @Ford Motor Company to get navigation to Superchargers out to all our trucks.

I don’t understand why it is taking so long for our older trucks to get Tesla superchargers on the ford navigation screen.

On an ICE, installing a supercharger, more is involved like, upgraded fuel pumps, mapping, etc. Maybe more is involved here. I mean I doubt it, but still. If only Ford corporate hauled ass like this truck...

I can relate. My 2024 didn’t get supercharger navigation until November. While it took a long time, it seems to have been a well thought out change. Ford Nav will show you all Superchargers and indicate which ones you can and can’t use and indicate on a trip route which stops are CCS vs NACS . They also seem to have implemented some real time charging station information, although that seems to need a little more work. I’m giving Ford some credit for being consistent and conservative in roll outs in improvements. One reason I got rid of my Model Y was I was tired of completely new behavior/interface changes. Nothing like getting in your car in the morning after an update and wondering how your car will unexpectedly try to crash you because of some random new bug.

In theory I do have the current Ford Nav in my 24 Flash, but it displays far more GAS stations than EV chargers. Of the nearest five SuperCharger stations withing five miles of home, it seldom displays more than one or two of them - and it's not the same ones that display each time you look. Totally worthless. Same thing for other EV charger networks - not consistent on what shows up.
Unfortunately the Google maps via Android Auto is not much better.
