Much to my surprise, I like the on-board navigation in my 19CX5. I have a cheaper cellphone plan, not the best coverage and the heads up display showing navigation is fun.
One item that is annoying. Can't enter address while underway, ok, I understand the safety reasoning behind this. So go to favorites, add from contacts is grayed out. I try to keep addresses in my phone whenever I can just for this reason. Unplug my phone, within a few seconds, add from contacts shows up and away I go loading the address. Note, I also have bluetooth connection setup, which is where I think the car gets my phone contact info. I suppose eventually my favorites will be built up to cover 90% of my needs. Also, seems redundant that in order to use an address in contacts, have to save as a favorite.
I tried going to contacts on carplay, it loads apple maps, I don't see an option to choose on-board Nav.
Why does mazda disable adding a contact when carplay is engaged? Anyone know a better way around this?
Overall, I'm very happy with the car, just some small items I think could be easily resolved.
For reference, iphone7, latest updates, also updated Mazda Connect to the .335 version. So I think I'm current.
