My wife’s 2018 Fusion has the Ford Nav system. It works just fine. Gets us where we need to go.
Try Waze. Updates get pushed almost daily with a day or two delay. Sometimes there is a week that updates don't push for some reason. But normally no more than a few days out of date from when an editor last saved updates.
Gaia is a really handy option. Maps and routing are also downloadable. Better topo and forest maps than all the other choices, so it's my preferred choice when I'm going out into nearby national forest areas and I'm trying to find a particular trailhead (which around here might be easy to breeze right past if you don't know exactly where it is). Outdoor recreation POI database is a bit more complete and accurate than Google/Waze options, also. Google and Waze often have those POI locations MILES away from actual. Waze frustrates me because when there's no cell signal, I can't note/submit map updates or edits (it won't save them for later submission, for example) and with Google edit submissions being pc-only (afaik), I usually forget to make the submissions.
Yes, for offroad there are other options, several get into the paid service sector though and since the OE Ranger Nav doesn't have any real offroad options to it that I've seen I didn't feel those options were a direct comparison, more of a subgroup of navigation for overlanding and offroad users.
Sure, I've used Gaia offroad, but the benefits come up for me even before I leave pavement. Just the fact that trailheads campgrounds and recreation areas and whatnot show up more accurately on the map and are more complete in the POI database mean that even if the topo maps are cluttered for highway driving, I might still use them. Sometimes what I do is use Google or Waze for a long highway drive, but then switch to Gaia when I make a gas stop nearer to my ultimate destination.
I know OnX Offroad advertises AA support too. If Waze ever directs to the wrong area for parking, look into editing the map yourself or reaching out to local area maps editors that may not be aware of the issue to get it fixed. I know a lot of editors are busy adding lane guidance now that Waze started implementing that, but they will most likely be willing to fix existing issues as those have more impact on users than lane guidance.
If OnX is doing AA support now, then that's relatively new.
Apple Maps works the same way. The only drawback is if you map a custom (e.g. more scenic) route online in Google, and then upload it to a phone, the directions and map view will default to your presets: faster route, shortest route, avoids, etc. On Google,Maps, you can upload custom routes to a GPS device as .gpx files or other formats and they transfer as created.
And it's the best at automatically re-routing around heavy traffic...also better than a radar detector...
I can only find their ski app...hmmmFor offroad fun (driving, biking, hiking etc), there are better options. But they will not display on the truck screen.
MotionX is good but only works with iphones.
Maprika is another good option that available for both andriod and iphone users. I have used it extensivly when I was working. It can track your path along with speed and elevation. You can send your tracks & location to others in your friend group.
It can use a variety of map sources that the user selects. Maps can be downloaded for an area also. You can even upload your own map.
Here's the neat feature of Maprika, you take a picture of a map (even a hand drawn map) and upload that. Parks used to have large maps at the entrances. Take a picture of that (if the park has one) and then you align the picture with another map source. Now you can use the picture as your map. You can swap back and forth anytime as needed. This is helpful for parks, ranches etc that google satellite does not show all the trails but a picture or drawn map does show them.
