One big problem I have with the built in Nav is I live on a cul de sac at the end of our street. Behind my house is about 30 yards of woods, then a one lane private road. We do not have a driveway to that road nor is my address on that private road.
When I select "Home" nav works fine until I get near home, then it insists that I get to my home by turning down that private road behind my house.
When I pass the private road to go to the proper entrance of my actual street I get recalculating, then do a U-Turn if possible about 10 times until I am in my driveway, then it says "welcome home".
To be fair, even Google maps thinks I should get to my home off of that private road, but once I pass it by it quickly recalculates and takes me home the proper way.
This is not a huge problem, once I am near my home I know how to get there so can simply turn off Nav. However, this make me wonder how accurate the Nav is in other situations where it needs to recalculate a new route, and will it take me the wrong way when I am in the middle of nowhere?
I'll probably just use google maps via Android Auto as that has served me well with my cherokee that had Uconnect less Nav. I thought it would be nice to not always have to plug in my phone to the Jeep to use navigation.
Anyone else give up on built in Nav and Use navigation via your phone?
