The system works fairly well. It's basically like printing out a trip from Google Maps or MapQuest for your car. However since the MyFordTouch update the system no longer speaks the directions. Just used it today on a trip and was dissapointed. I had it set for to speak the directions so I'm not sure what's up with that. It doesn't take more than a couple of minutes to get an updated route. Not too bad. If you don't do a lot of traveling it is a good option compated to upgrading to full navigation. Plus smart phones come with turn by turn directions as well.
