    Cool and thanks for the information.

    Google Maps vs Garmin?

    Dang - didn't know that (radar trap detection). You guys are really swinging me over to Google Maps.

    Google Maps vs Garmin?

    You brought up a good point (map updating). I am very close to just going along with Google Maps. I used it twice this week and it is just the learning curve (for this old old fart) that I hate dealing with... SMILE Thanks for your reply.

    Google Maps vs Garmin?

    Interesting. When I test drove my ride it brought up Google and insisted that I log into Google. Maybe, if I ignored it - it would default to Ford's Navigation. Why must Ford make it so hard! SMILE Thanks for the suggestion.

    Google Maps vs Garmin?

    ALL my past fords (last 7) used Garmin Maps for Navigation. I "heard" you don't have to use Google Maps. IF that is the case - what do I have to do to use something like Garmin (in place of Google Maps)? Thanks!

    WTB (CLOSED) - OEM Front License Plate Holder - 2025 Ford Explorer ST-Line

    Yea, my state only requires a rear plate. I am hoping a member removed one that wasn't needed. Will keep my fingers crossed. Thanks for the reply.

    WTB (CLOSED) - OEM Front License Plate Holder - 2025 Ford Explorer ST-Line

    Looking for a new (or used) 2025 Ford Explorer ST-Line OEM Front License Plate Holder. Dealer tried to order one but Ford isn't making them available yet. It isn't needed for Tag - I just want to mount a specialty tag. I will pay for shipping, etc. Thanks!

    2025 Ford Explorer ST-Line 4x4 vs AWD

    Thanks for the reply PowerBoatr. I have the 4X4 with 2.3 engine. The only drivetrain view is related to off-road (or something like that) with degree stuff. I know in my Edge and Escape you could see if the front wheels, rear wheels or both were pulling but not this puppy. Thanks again.

    2025 Ford Explorer ST-Line 4x4 vs AWD

    Yea, another dumb question...I have heard that the 4x4 runs in All Wheel Drive by default until 4x4 is needed? Is that true? Thanks!

    (SOLVED) - Google Maps - Rotate Screen?

    OMG - When I was enlarging the Map Screen (pinch gesture with two fingers) I accidently twisted my hand and dang if the Map didn't rotate!!! Yea, I could rotate it any direction I wanted - it was the solution I was looking for...

    (SOLVED) - Google Maps - Rotate Screen?

    OK - turned it OFF. I am convinced it is me - not Google. I am just having a problem adjusting (learning curve) to something totally different after all these years. I have used Navigation in the Ford Escape and Ford Edge for many years. Thanks for your suggestion.

    (SOLVED) - 2025 Ford ST-Line "thingy" on steering wheel column?

    Thanks PowerBoatr. So much to learn so little time! :)

    (SOLVED) - 2025 Ford ST-Line "thingy" on steering wheel column?

    Anyone tell me what this "thingy" (see picture) on steering wheel column is called? When I take a picture of it - you can see to sensers pop'n up (not visible to the naked eye) so I figure it is checking for something. Thanks !

    (SOLVED) - Google Maps - Rotate Screen?

    Super. I pulled up Google Maps on my Android and selected KEEP MAP NORTH UP. I will pull it up on my ride later and let you know if that took care of it. Thanks for your suggestion. UPDATE: No Joy! It might just be me - I am so use to using Garmin directions in my past Ford's. This is...
