Calibration allows you to update your Ford's navigation system as you drive.

Ford's factory-installed navigation systems provide drivers with features such as voice recognition, a points-of-interest database and hands-free calling. Some systems also allow vehicle climate control or DVD viewing. While driving, you may wish to change some of the system's settings, including the way directions are given or the way your vehicle is displayed on the map. Calibrating the navigation system allows you to update the remaining distance from your vehicle to the destination. It also lets you choose the vehicle's direction as it displays on the screen.
