Newish Owner

[Mary-Anne]

We purchased a 2019 Ram 3500 HD Laramie Cummins Crew Cab to replace the 2016 Ram 2500 Laramie Limited Cummins MegaCab that I totalled in June of this year. We live in Northern Ontario and tow a 43' Jayco North Point when we travel. I breed German Shepherds and loved my MegaCab but was unable to find one in my area to replace it so ended up with the Crew Cab Short Box. We've owned a Diesel Ram 2500 since 1993 and we both love them. I do have a question... went for a short haul to Southern Ontario last week and discovered that the Navigation will not accept any address input even though it shows me where I currently am driving. Dealer says that this is normal. What's the purpose of having Navigation without being able to input a destination to be guided toward? Hate having to depend upon the Smart Phone and my other half refuses to get a smart phone. Unit was built in February 2019. Anyone have any ideas?

Stupid question but are you at a stop when you try to enter coordinates? My wife's 2020 Rubicon has Nav and it won't let you do much of anything if the vehicle is moving.

Yes, my vehicle is still in the driveway . It tells me error code ...

Welcome from out west. Sorry about your other truck and hope nobody was hurt. Nav in my 12 sucked and I never even tried it in the 19.

I know you hate the smartphone option but after having the wife use Google Maps on CarPlay, she never touches the native Nav system anymore. I use it all the time since my Tradesman has Poverty Navigation or PovNav as its known. All bad jokes aside, I would take it in (again) and have them fix it. If they say it's fine then have them prove it and show you how it works. You paid for the feature, you should get to use it.

My truck protected me and took a trophy ... LOL (the Mazda insignia ended up on my tow hook. Injuries relatively minor to me, major to my 'baby'. She was a beauty . I miss her desperately.
