Red dots on the navigation screen also North up setting

[BroncoOB22]

When driving through town with the Navigation screen on, there are red dots that show up on the screen. Does anyone know what these are? I will try to attach a picture.
Also, when you change the setting so that North is always up, when you shut the vehicle off and restart it, you always have to change the setting back to North is up? Any suggestions?

I sometimes have the red dots. They look like bread crumbs. Could be signifying the location of the Bronco when it shares connected vehicle data with ford. But it only happens occasionally so I think it’s a bug of some sorts

They are in fact called breadcrumbs, and you can turn them off in the navigation system I believe.

I think the breadcrumbs are blue and are used so that you can track your path.

Breadcrumbs. They have recently changed to red for better visibility on screen. Any time your rig sees you go “off road”, they kick on automatically

North Up. 2D vs 3D. Miles vs KMs. These, and probably others that we haven’t encountered yet, are a handful of bugs with Nav at the moment

Ours has never been offroad. It is really random driving through town

Anytime I drive down my driveway, I get some breadcrumbs. You can fully be in a city, but if you drive in a location that Nav thinks is “off road” you get crumbs. We don’t make the rules, it has its own criteria to meet.

I believe you can turn it off if it’s bothersome to you.

Turn off breadcrumbs in the settings. However when you put your vehicle in 4x4 mode (not sure if it's 4H, 4L, or the goat that does it) But the bread crumbs will come back while off roading and wioe out on each restart.

When you see those dots it means the government is enacting their tracker on your Bronco and trying to get an exact location to come and get you. When they go away, it means they realized they were looking for someone else and stopped tracking you


But seriously, resetting things upon a restart is one of my biggest pet peeves of this vehicle - I'd like to leave the screen off sometimes, and I'd always be in Sport 2H if it would just stay there. How hard can that be?

It's not bread crumbs

I know huh. So take this scenario.. You're exploring some unknown territory, have the breadcrumbs showing you the way home... You stop for more than 30 minutes to clear some debris out of your way and the Bronco shuts off and wipes out your way home
