Hey guys

 

Just picked up a 2017 1500 all terrain. Went from a f-150 to this and I love it. One problem I'm having is that the navigation is showing "off road" even if I'm on a main road. It's driving me crazy becuase it won't do turn by turn nav becuase it's not showing me on the main roads. It also is not showing the speed limit on the HUD. Any info on this?

i went from a f-150 to an 16 all terrain..!..love mine as well... i know my nav is not even updated.. i go "off road" as well. .but its normally on roads that were built prior to my gps i guess.. try resetting the computer... take the positive off the battery for 10 mins... the put it back on.. maybe...

My '16 is updated to the point where it contains even roadwork that was just completed a month or two before I bought the truck. Never shows the vehicle as off road while on a mapped road.....just the opposite....unless it is within a defined parking lot, when off road it will jump to a point on the nearest road within about 500 feet.

You must be driving on roads that are too new for the GPS. They aren't programmed into the system. Next year you can buy an upgrade for like $150 that will include new versions of maps, but will still be out of date compared to then.

 

Better off using your iphone or android device with Google Maps. Since those are nearly 99% up to date.

This won't help with your icon not showing up on a road, but you can turn off the "Off Road" warning in the settings (at least you can in my 2015). When you are on the Nav screen hit "Menu" then scroll through the settings until you find it. Uncheck the box and it should stop showing that warning on-screen.

It's gotta be the info is out of date. We have a stretch of road that was completed about a year ago and it shows me as off road when driving on it in my 2016. Even though I have the factory nav I find the iphone map to be the better of the 2.

have you called the dealership ? i have a 2016 and never had that even on roads that are a month old it might need to just be reprogrammed I'm sure they will take care of it assuming you bought it from a chevy/gm official dealership. regardless its a brand new truck everything should be working fine

Are the roads on the map and the gps thinks you're not on them? Or, are the roads not even on the map?

 

If the first is true, you should be able to calibrate the gps. This may be in the settings, or the dealer may have to do it. Not sure, I don't have nav.

 

If it's the maps, then you'll need to get an update, as others have said.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
