We don't have the new orion 3.0 yet but yes the cradle brings up the map navigation and give you turn by turn directions.
I'm in CA and we just got it a month or so ago but I know many areas have had it for a long time.
We have had the cradles for a while now and the problem is they get worn out and start failing. Or don’t get used at all and fail because the prongs are exposed to air and they get corroded. They can be cleaned though
I think the cradles, along with the navigation, are awesome. So many people have been resisting using them but they are missing out on a good thing. I think most of those would use them if they knew that you could bookmark your next stop. I don’t do that. I just go wherever the hell it tells me to next.
Areas where drivers have taken the time to give feedback on snaps and bad travel paths work well with the cradle/navigation. There are still many areas that need work. But all of them could’ve been fixed years ago if people weren’t so damn lazy. But what also do you expect from a bunch of guys that trash the trucks and leave them on fumes when they’re done? Among many other bad habits.
