Navigation System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The vehicle navigation system guides the user to a pre-entered destination. No navigation map DVD is needed, as the map guidance information is stored in the ACM hard-drive. The ACM calculates route information based on Global Positioning System (GPS) data. The ACM also uses vehicle speed and transmission gear selected signals received through the MS-CAN to detect vehicle speed and direction, resulting in more accurate navigation tracking.

The navigation display is shown on the FDIM. Either the FDIM touchscreen or the buttons on the FCIM can be used to interact with the navigation system.

The compass heading is derived from the GPS antenna signal. There are no serviceable parts for the compass.

A voice recognition system allows the user to interface with the system without using the touchscreen. A microphone provides the voice recognition input. The microphone is shared with the SYNC® system.
