Ok, so does anyone know how to use it? The typing is a little off, push a letter, and the letter to it's left is selected, have to be extremely accurate.

Sounds like a real pain, doesn't it have voice recognition. ?

Touch screens typically have some method for calibration so they recognize the spot your finger touches versus someone else's. Is that process described in the owner's manual?

Is all this silence because you guys can't figure it out either? LOL

I figured out my Chevy Tahoe's Navigation in 2 minutes. Why does the 12C's system have to be so complicated? I was even stopped!

 

[Whoopsy]

I only use navigation systems as digital maps. Very handy to find alternate routes around traffic jams up front, one glace and I will know if the side street I am about to turn into is a through road or not

Do you really want me to answer that, it's a loaded question which I will refrain from answering. Lol.....

I am looking for how to simply add my home address into the favorites menu.

Do you really have that much trouble finding your own house?

Can't you just click your heels together three time and repeat "There's no place like home" ?

When I am at ERTC up in Redmond, helps big time to have home saved in Navigation.

Lol, all these silly smart ass responses tell me is everyone is as confused as I am.

That's freaking hilarious, it must have something to do with the air out there. Lol....

Took me less than 2 minutes sitting at my dealer to figure it out before I hit the road. Other than the same calibration issue, which I expect and account for, I have no issues using it. It has a better UI than both my MINI and my Lexus and they have both been around for generations in software years.

I think for home I just put the town name in and stored it as that.
I hope that I might be able to find my way to my house when in the town at least.

I found that 'settings' was worth spending some time in to find the various items you're after, which I think includes home setup and the route variations, just touching it changed it, which I actually thought was quite simple as soon as I realised!!

My car is getting the 10.6 update this week. Going to pick it up tomorrow and hopefully the nav system has been improved significantly.

Yes I found town name, but it will not recognize my street name? Will play around with it at lunch again today. Have everything else figured out, except maybe the oil check procedure, which I will try soon.

Same problem for me, can't input my own house address! The system is hilariously bad, often has the car pointing in totally the wrong direction, takes forever to input a destination, and as noted by others, yuor finger has to be millimetre-precise. I think there's a thread somehwere that has a beginners guide, but it didn't do me much good!

I already have 10.6. No improvement. Mclaren, if you are listening, go buy a Chevy Tahoe, and copy their Navigation.

As of now, I will not be wasting anymore time, will just use the Mapquest free application in my Iphone 4S, which works great, and has turn by turn voice help also.

Today I took the Mclaren and looked at the Nav. In the menu there is an option to enter the home adress. Don't see the problem.

The tiny little letters do cause a problem as with my big fingers I'm allways on the wrong letter... often 4-5 times make the same mistake. Especially the E is difficult to get it seems. They should make those letters taller

Hey Markjayw, since you have the latest 10.6 update, would you mind taking a pic of the version screen and post it to the other thread so we can all compare versions?

I will take a photo on my lunch break.
