I thought the G05 did that regardless of whether you're using Navigation (GPS) or not? ..is this not the case?

We have some crap (uneven/ rough) roads here in the north-east/east of Melbourne, and I absolutely notice the difference btw Comfort and Adaptive, mainly in softness and ability to absorb (soak up) those bumps. That's without Navigation turned on.
