    Thanks for the feedback. Even googlemaps and apple maps are better than the FCA 2019 GPS.

    GPS searching off line

    After several hours at my local dealership, which is a tiny facility that also is a GMC/Chevy?Jeep dealer, a guy named Kenny, who is a sort of dealership trouble shooter, has figured out the late 2018 early 2019 GPS system on the 12 inch screen. Do not waste your time with Chrysler Care...

    12 inch Uconnect update????

    There is an update to correct the search offline issue. It is update #24888.
