Mine doesn’t work and absolutely nothing shows on the App either. I’ve just got back from a couple of days in Cornwall and used Waze via CarPlay.
I have to say it’s absolutely brilliant for so many reasons. I usually use Google maps which is way better than car nav, but Waze I think is another level again. Can’t see any scenario where I will actually open up the Nav on the car system now so it’s shortcomings are now a moot point.
On a separate note and just for interest, overall mpg was 32.5mpg for the 520 mile round trip, obviously boosted by its first long run 😊

That's obviously all wrong. Have you checked the TP settings in the PCM?

Well yeah, I guessed that bit. Its giving more sensible readings now so I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt and assume it was just having a funny turn.

Yeah, I was getting around 30mpg on the way up to Silverstone. Erm, fewer MPG’s on the way home for some reason. Maybe it was up hill on the way back 🤔

...or against the wind. It makes a difference just as does speed, I have generally set the ACC at 77moh and seen 30mpg on the motorway but a couple of weeks ago I trundled down to Weston-Super-Mare with 70mph set to see the average rise to 33mpg. Its principally only air resistance making the difference (aka wind).

Yeah, in this case however it probably had a lot more to do with the driving techniques the instructor showed me whilst barrelling around the track at the PEC. So mainly right foot induced I suspect

These two remotely operated features are back and working today. Horn and indicators.

I don’t know if there has been an update but the “predictive” navigation gave me 2 routes today rather than the usual 1, and they were both colour coded based the amount of traffic on each route and each route showed all the traffic works etc and also showed the RAG status on the map on each of the routes it was offering. So I’m guessing mine is working as designed. Bit of a turn-up for the books!
