Mazda GPS

Interest forums / Travel Tech

Driving a Mazda CX5 qualifies as travel. The question is can I/how do I set the in-built GPS to read current time. There is a space on the tool bar above the current speed and speed limit where the older portable Tomtoms showed the current time. I have the arrival time but not the current time. Mazda has put the digital clock down near my knee, having it higher on the screen would be more convenient. I might add for some reason Mazda have disabled the speech function to the GPS when driving as a safety feature, but have installed bluetooth. They think its ok to talk on the phone but not to the GPS

rtfm?

My husband bought a van here in NZ. It was a Japanese import with a GPS with everything in Japanese including a disc for Tokyo. Never did figure it out before he sold the van.

Reading a Mazda GPS forum, there are many, many questions about the way Mazda have set it up. Questions on how to disable functions, over-ride functions, up-date maps, etc, not everyone has that zoom zoom feeling
