machoman1337 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 My sister is the proud owner of a new 2015 Escape Titanium fully loaded (minus moonroof, she has zero use for it :P). The screen in the dashboard between the tachometer and speedometer is capable of showing the next GPS turn while driving. I enable this by going to Settings->Display and selecting Navigation, using the left D-pad on the steering wheel. However, every time the car is shut off, the navigation option is automatically de-selected. I have to dig back into the settings and enable it every time I start the car. I've owned a 2013 Fusion Hybrid with nav for over a year now, so I am quite experienced with MyFordTouch for the most part. However, in the Escape it's a little different because there's only one screen in the dashboard whereas the Fusion has 2 screens, so I'm slightly lost there. This is quite bewildering and frustrating. Does anyone know how to force this to always be on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rscalzo Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Probably because you don't have a route set in. Try setting a destination and see if it comes back. But once the trip is completed, there are no turns to show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 It will show the Compass and speed limit if there is no active route guidance. I'll have to see if my 2013 Regular Titanium remembers the nav setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rscalzo Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 If you enter a destination, the data automatically pops up in the window on my 2015. I changed no settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Sorry I was thinking of the Fusion with 2 screens. I'll test the Escape next time we take it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machoman1337 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Probably because you don't have a route set in. Try setting a destination and see if it comes back. But once the trip is completed, there are no turns to show. That's the thing, I set in a route and the guidance failed to show in the centre display. I was also expecting the display to show your current street and direction if no route is set in - guess the Escape doesn't do that. My sister lives on the other side of the continent, so I don't have access to the car myself anymore (was only in town for a week and now am back home), but I'll tell her to try again.

rscalzo Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 From what I remember, it listed the distance and direction of turn with the street name in the display. It popped up on the right side of the center screen. I don't remeber setting anything to get that. I've found a ton of info on YouTube. in fact even the dealer recommended it.
