    Bad satnav worse than no satnav

    @Robf @Rolfe @Martinonline @AndyL61 Good morning guys, thanks so much for all your input, but I've cracked it HOORAA! I'm delighted to say there was nothing wrong with the car at all, after resetting the home screen as @Robf suggested and still no joy, I started to look at Android Auto (AKA...

    Bad satnav worse than no satnav

    I'm sure we'll get it sorted somehow Ralph, it's very frustrating when something disappears suddenly. That's why I asked the forum, but it doesn't seem to be a common problem as far as I can see. Thanks for your input Ralph. Perhaps someone else will come up with a solution. Cheers again...

    Bad satnav worse than no satnav

    Although I've been around computers and one of the first in the country to have a BT mobile phone the size of a suitcase in 1984, I'm still amazed at modern tech advancements, fantastic Rolfe. Not sure if you are following my chats with @Martinonline, but he has grasped my problem Rolfe.

    Bad satnav worse than no satnav

    Yes Martin, I think you've grasped perfectly my problem. Until a few weeks ago I had the Waze icon appear to the right of the home screen, so had a choice, but that has disappeared. Waze is still on my phone as normal and I've tried running Waze before I connect to AA, perhaps I should try...

    Bad satnav worse than no satnav

    Probably because Google owns Waze, well indirectly Rolfe, I'll try Google Maps on my 4 tomorrow and report back , it's such an oddity, because I was able to get Waze up, until recently.

    Bad satnav worse than no satnav

    Waze is superior to most regular sat nav systems in several areas and it's free. "Its a community-driven navigation app created by an Israeli company and acquired by Google in 2013. Waze uses real-time data from the app's users to provide the best route to the user's destination, taking into...

    Bad satnav worse than no satnav

    Not exactly Martin, I don't get the Waze icon to the right of the MG screen screen, which I once got. I can no longer get Waze (far nicer and more informative than MG's own) on the car screen, I can only get the inbuilt version. All was OK until I recently opened the onboard system, now I...

    Bad satnav worse than no satnav

    I'm struggling getting Waze on to the car screen using Android Auto. It was OK to start with, but after looking at MG's sat nav, now it only is it stopped, it mostly just shows the inbuilt Nav system. I'd like to know how to consistently get WAZE instead of MG's (not brilliant Sat Nav). Is there...

    Close to zero?

    We were close to empty when we arrived at our Holiday destination in Cumbria last week with just 4% (12 miles) remaining, careful calculation and keeping an extremely close eye on things, there was no room for error such as a road closure, we were lucky. It was my fault this happened...

    Warning Chimes with no visual clue

    Also had a mysterious jingle today, on the M6, driving to Hampshire from Cumbria, a type of audible warning we hadn't heard before, we were also puzzled. But reading the above, I think I've cracked it, it may have been a rear seat belt warning, with a suitcase on the back seat and possibly...

    Battery degraded by approx. 20 miles in 10 months

    Bought in the summer!! It's now colder weather, the cold temperatures will make a big difference (lower) to battery capacity, try it again when it a lot warmer and let the group know!

    Any EV advice for my first long trip?

    Thanks Grriff, It doesn't appear that NT Shugborough have EV charging points as yet, sites I've seen which do are only 11kW, OK if you are needing a small top up, or perhaps staying several hours, but we will only stretch our legs for a max of a couple of hours, so I guess it'll be the Ionity...

    Any EV advice for my first long trip?

    May be pushing it in one trip. I've done 2 longish trips to Gatwick Airport this year in our October 2023 MG4 Trophy LR, from the Hampshire/Wiltshire BORDER, approx 90 miles each way, charging at home (Ohme Pro) to 100%, I was a tad nervous on the first trip at the end of chilly January, having...

    MG4 trophy 12V battery

    Did our first longish term parking at Gatwick for 25 days in cold January into February, I had similar trepidation as many others, but all was fine on our return. Got another airport trip coming up with no fears, stopping off to charge the traction battery ready for the return journey home.

    Maximum Charge rate for Long Range Trophy?

    We used Cobham Services to charge up to 95% 4 weeks ago, so our return home from Gatwick Airport, in our new MG4 Trophy LR didn't need another charge. Worked well. Rolfe was correct in saying absolutely no harm to the car, it will only charge to a max set by MG, irrespective of the output of the...
