2014 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring AWD Long-Term Road Test


The navigation system available in the 2014 Mazda CX-5 may be inexpensive, but it also lacks the functionality of most other systems.

I also turned off auto-zoom. That way I can set it at a proper zoom level in both 2-d and 3-d and it will show a better level of detail. For some reason, the roads it chooses to label seems random at times. I swear it likes to label roads with funny names. So my CX-5 has a sense of humor.
Actually a neat feature to try is say to the navigation "Where am I". It will tell you your location and the nearest cross streets. Not perfect, but it is useful.
My 2009 Civic's nav was so much more useful to see where I was currently. Don't get me started about the safety lock-out! If you start a voice input using the voice button on the screen while driving and then come to a stop, you will lose all your input. Apparently safety is a two way street! Well at least I was able to download 90 Year old Hungarian Grandmother as a free voice for my nav.
