The 2017 Ford Escape offers GPS as an optional feature, but it requires a subscription through Ford. If you prefer an integrated GPS system, this option is your only choice because the car does not support downloading other GPS apps. However, if you connect your phone via Bluetooth, you can use it as a GPS device. To utilize this feature, you must first ensure that your phone or laptop can connect via Bluetooth. The process may vary slightly depending on your device model. Once you have successfully established the Bluetooth connection, navigate to the car's system menu and locate the connectivity or devices section. From there, you can pair your devices by selecting the appropriate option. This pairing process may take a moment, but once completed, your phone or laptop will be synced with the car system and any media played through your device will now be audible through the car's audio system.
Absolutely not, that is not the case.
The Escape offers multiple ways to stay connected such as Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay, eliminating the necessity for built-in GPS. However, for an additional $795, you can opt to include it. When your phone is linked and you select navigation, it will seamlessly use your phone's navigation system.
