The distance to next turn is correct at all times on the 12" center display for Android Auto, but not the driver dash display. For example, when I am about .3 miles from the turn, the distance to turn on the dash display show 0.0 until I get to around 500 feet before the turn. At around 500 feet before the turn it starts working again.

Anyone else notice that the distance to next turn doesn't show correctly on the dash when using Android Auto?

Yes, noticed the same thing, but I did not look at it as a bug, but rather by design, being "active" right before you need to make the turn. And I noticed a gap of when it becomes active, sometimes closer to the turn, other times a few ft. earlier.

Happens with Carplay too. I experienced it with Android Auto and when I changed to an iPhone I was hoping it would be resolved but nope. Definitely a Ford issue.

You have lines on the display edge that deminish as you get to the turn. Not a bug but the design

It makes no sense to me why the dash number display would show 0.0 (fractional miles) if the intent is to focus your eyes on the diminishing bar. The display below popped up at .3 miles from the exit and displayed as 0.0 until I reached about 500 feet from the exit. At about 500 feet the digital read out worked and counted down fine.

If this isn't a bug I do not know what would qualify as one. The diminishing bar is nice, but it isn't anywhere as useful as the digital number read out. I certainly do not want them to conflict either...that doesn't inspire confidence.

It's a bug because if you use the built-in navigation, it starts with fractions of a mile before switching to feet. (US system)
