apg1979 Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 we just bought a 2014 Edge SEL with what i believe is the my sync touch. All seems to work ok except when we go into navigation it does not display maps at all. It shows our coordinates but blank screen for maps. I apologize if this is a super simple question for this but what would we need to get this fixed ? thank you for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apg1979 Posted June 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 one other update i've learned.....our screen show "Information" in the upper right instead of "Navigation" so maybe i DONT actually have nav on this model i'm thinking? weird part is in the INformation section theres a "where am i" part and shows me coordinates so it seemed like we might have it (since it has the gps to give coordinates) but i'm not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multitask Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 You are right, if it says Information it's still using a GPS signal for the compass, but no mapping is there. It would have to say Insert SD Card for there to be Navigation (Maps) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apg1979 Posted June 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 so what is the purpose of the "where am i?" section out of curiosity? 911 location i thought possibly? so if thats what i'm seeing it wouldnt make a difference even if i got an SD card, right? assumed i'd need a whole new head unit to get navigation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did mine for about 500, by getting wrecking yard units http://www.2gfusions.net/showthread.php?tid=3881 That should help with the how Edited June 20, 2018 by Multitask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apg1979 Posted June 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 ok that makes sense then. damn i was hoping there was a simpler way to add that other than a whole new head unit. The 3 model looks nice but super pricey so probably not worth it. I can use my phone for maps but not a simple spot to put the phone in that model (other than the cd player mount type i guess) thanks for the help!

Multitask Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Yea, if you don't have the 500, it's cheaper than the places that will do it for you that charge about 2100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
