I am trying to plan a trip and there's a few routes to take -- but I can't seem to find a way to plan around Blue Cruise availability....am I missing something? Some Mach E forums mention colors on roads in the map, but I don't see any, and Ford still says "detailed map coming soon". This seems like a pretty silly oversight?

I haven't been able to find anything, but I'd you stick to divided highways you should be fine.

In my area, hands-free will only engage on divided highways that are accessed only by on and off ramps. It doesn’t work on any divided highway with intersecting roads.

Fair enough. We really don't have those around where I live

There is no capability to plan a drive focused on handsfree roads. Why would you want to potentially drive a longer trip just to not hold the steering wheel. Hands-on BlueCruise exists on all roads, including local roads, as long as the lanes have lines on both sides. I would never drive longer just to take my hands off the wheel - and, as stated, divided highways are likely to be hands-free (roads with intersections excluded).

There is a divided highway around here without BlueCruise so I definitely think the notion of assuming its available is a bad idea.

And comments of "why would you plan around this" are just not helpful -- as I said before, there's multiple routes that are all basically the same...5 minutes longer in a 6-7 hour drive.
