Long navigation route times

[JacobKelley1495]

Hey guy I’m brand new to the site so I’m sorry if I screw something up. I tried finding a discussion on this but couldn’t find it. I just bought a 2020 1500 Laramie with the Uconnect 12 last week. First ram and I love it. However I’m going on a trip from Ohio to South Carolina in two weeks and my rams gps says it will be 13 hours. My iPhone says 11.5 hours. I want to use the Rams nav since it is so much bigger to look at but even with the alternative routes it’s over 13 hours. Is there a nav update I’m missing or something? It just seems weird they aren’t the same route. Or is this a common issue?

It might be time of day. Your truck thinks you're leaving now, and if there are traffic snarks anywhere along the route, it will try to go around.

NAV the worst GPS ever? Serious routing issues

So one of the reasons I ordered the 12 inch UConnect system is that I drive a lot for my job and use GPS almost daily for client visits, etc.. For years I have suction-cupped a Garmin GPS to my windshield.....was glad I could get rid of that approach. Sorry to say my GPS experience with the...

Use car your CarPlay and the Waze app it’s so much better. It doesn’t use the whole screen like the factory Navi but it’s a nice app.

X1000...do yourself the favor of using Waze.

I've used the built-in nav extensively w/o any issues. I still have Waze fired up in the background via CarPlay for police radar though, but the stock nav unit has been spot on for me.

Does the built-in do route changes based on accidents/etc?
