Okay Scout is getting significantly better and more reliable but it can do better to compete with the other FREE gps apps. My complaints are these... There is a significant amount of lag when navigating (not sure if it's my internet connection or the GPS signal but I live in a major city and this should not be an issue). Secondly, not often but sometimes Scout and Enform 2.0 will disconnect (not sure if it's Enform that's causing the issue but since the Enform update haven't seen it disconnect). Third, the traffic feature could be better, it does not announce traffic upcoming and on the split screen, I am unable to see the traffic ”color” on the route (perhaps make it more pronounced). Lastly, a speedometer and lane assist would be features that we would appreciated. Scout please fix and I promise you your ratings will go up. Overall, the app has potential and its actually not a horrible app as compared to whatever Scout version in fall 2017.

My initial experience with the App was quite disappointing and frustrating, but I can tell you, if you do an internet search on how to work out the bugs of the real time maps, you have a very solid GPS that you can count on to direct you well, and charge your phone at the same time. To sum it up; have your phone connected via Bluetooth to the car prior to turning the key (meaning connect your phone and then turn off the car - the first time) also plug in the usb before starting. You should open Entune and Scout prior to starting as well. Yup, none of that is intuitive, but I did it per the instructions and sure enough it worked great, and my frustration is gone.

I have had Scout for a year now, as it the system my Toyota Sienna uses for navigation. I have had all manner of issues with it, from inaccurate directions (that led either to somewhere else, or led to a place where the destination was on the other side of a fence or barrier, with no way to access it without having to drive far around to find the access point. I have also had it cut out on me in the middle of navigation in an area I am unfamiliar in, leaving me for lost. Thank goodness I kept the GPS system that came with my cell phone. It is much more accurate. Also time estimates for Scout are sometimes grossly inaccurate and it doesn’t tell me when a road is closed , leaving me to guess how to get around it (again, in an unfamiliar area). I really wish my Van had the capacity to put my phone GPS on the screen instead of Scout. I would drop Scout all-together. Quite disappointed.
