Fiesta ST Ecoboost Sat Nav Question

[jcelee]

If any of you have a current shape mk7 Fiesta ST with sat nav, could you tell me a little more about its functionality?

In particular, are there options to avoid motorways? avoid tolls? Is it pan-European?

I'm trying to decide whether to order an ST2 or ST3 and the usefulness of the sat-nav is probably the clincher!

Many thanks!

Yes, yes and yes! It's a pretty good little system with full postcode search and you get Bluetooth USB. I've had the same system in a few of my cars and I've never had an issue.

I'm currently driving an ST-3 as my demo and I love it!

If you have any questions get in touch and I'd love to supply you your new car!

That's a shame indeed. I've sold a few PHers cars.

Does the job. Although if there is bad traffic in London I use Waze as well on my phone as it can help provide a clear route of available. Although a few times the inbuilt sat nav on the car has taken me the less congested route. Not sure if that's the car routing me around or just lucky, but I've found it works pretty well to get me where I need to be.

Waze works a bit differently - it has an element of 'crowd sourcing' that helps determine the best route. Like you, I also use the two together.

Is there a limit to the amount of songs the USB/IPOD functionality can play? I use a 120gb IPOD classic with 3500 songs, would I be able to shuffle them all?

Thanks guys, I ended up leaving a deposit on a used ST2 yesterday so hopefully picking up today. I has Sat Nav so all useful info!

Does anyone know whether the system will play Flac or just MP3?
