Navigation system - "destination"/"address" grayed out
BLUF: When I try to put in a new address in the Navigation, either "destination entry" or "address" is grayed out. However, "Home" is always functional (blue).
Details: 2010 XK, Almost always on its CTEK and no other gremlins (although I lost my programmed radio stations once); drive ~35 miles each way (>70 mph) to Ft Detrick (Whew, it is hot here in Maryland) couple of times a week. My Jag has ~15k miles. Otherwise, the nav screen correctly shows where I am traveling and Margaret (my nav voice) works well (when using "home"). "Home" and "emergency" are always functional.
However, more often than not now, I can't put in a new address because one of the two touch buttons (destination entry or address) are grayed out!
Appreciate any thoughts.
Best,
~Richard

Second, my manual [JJM 18 02 30 101 - OWNER’S HANDBOOK - XK] I got from TOPIx does not mention that the car must not be moving. I just reread the section on Navigation, and could not find a statement that the car must not be moving.
Third, I agree that the manual is good reading (on the METRO, however) as I have read it twice from "cover to cover".
That said, at my next opportunity, I'll try your guidance.
Thanks,

Hi,
While doing my XK-R (08), I can only select "Home" in the destination module. Need to be stopped (park) to add a destination. My Toyota is the same. When on the road, I have my GF add a destination in "WAZE "https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=WASZ+GPS&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8#q=WAZE+GPSWasz"
Works great and alerts to the presence of the local militia too, as well, as cameras.

You risk voiding any remaing warranty on your life and the lives of your passengers and other victims caused by your distracted driving due to disabling the factory system that was designed to protect you from your own stupidity.
How far does your car travel at 40 mph during the time it takes you to take your eyes off the road and key in the new destination?
How hard is it to pull over, stop and key in the destination? Better safe than sorry.

I agree and wouldn't mind having that ability for the passenger but how would you protect it so the driver couldn't do it. Maybe use the seat belt/air bag circuit to identify a passenger in the seat? Anyway maybe a mute discussion . I have also seen posts in both my Lexus and Audi forms where people were looking for a way to play DVD's and Games on the infotainment screens where they can watch/play while driving to work. Maybe a good feature for the driverless car but I'd be concerned if used in an every day driver.

There's a system out there (not sure what car it's on) that uses some clever polarisation & masking tricks to show different displays to the driver & the passenger - presumably based on the stuff developed for 3D TV. But as we all know, the XK's display is a long way from that level of sophistication...

Sorry for my delay in updating...
Indeed, as so correctly pointed out, the nav does not allow destination input while moving. I apparently confused nav input with my wife's SRX, which does allow input while moving.
My 2010 XK grays out the nav input as soon as (simultaneously) with the locking of the doors.
Members - Thanks for clarifying this issue as I thought I had a problem.
