Can you disable/turn off navigation

[bgalakazam]

Is there a way to turn off factory navigation or disable it? I am in Germany and there are no maps, but the GPS turns on and still tracks. I would like 1 less item to draw power if possible. Maybe a Forscan change and something non-permanent.

Temporary here. I’m from all over the place.

Draw power? What power do you think it's using? It's going to use power no matter what you use. GPS is always active for other things. It's like keeping a light on in a closet and shutting door. Just because you don't have the door open doesn't mean that your saving "power" just because you don't see it.
Having navigation available to you doesn't mean your using power.

It doesn't draw power when the truck is off.

I think killing navigation would kill other things on truck. I remember seeing a post where someone tried to disable something in Forscan and it caused a chain reaction with multiple modules all needing reprogrammed when they wanted to turn it back on. Everything is connected in these trucks.

You can look under connected services on menu settings and turn off everything there because it probably doesn't work in Germany anyway. That would probably turn off the map.
