A Couple of Suggestions:

[Pooch Gravy]

I've had my M3 for 23 months now and here's a couple things I'd LOVE to see in the near future:

1- Shortcut to Sketchpad. If I need to scrawl down someone's licence plate in a hurry or a name on the radio, it's nuts to go through Apps / Toybox / Sketchpad / On. Safer to call it up with one click.

2- Customize the Screen Interface. Especially to enlarge the time digits. I have to fumble with my reading glasses just to see some of those numbers. Since I can reorganize my Mac desktop and make size changes of items, it would be great to make some things more prominent that I use more. A couple of sub-menu folders for seat heaters etc?
That also applies to my TUNE-IN 'favourites' page. Amongst dozens of podcasts, I'd like to move ones I use most to the top.

3- Trace My Route. Sometimes I'm looking for an address or exploring a rural area. It would be great to know where I've been in an unfamiliar city or place.

4- Lock My Map. When I input a destination and start driving, the map defaults to a closeup of the nearest few blocks. Sometimes I want to keep the wide view of the whole route.

Thanks for any feedback.

#1 Have a USB drive installed? Just honk! The car will save the video of the last 10 minutes. Go through that at your leisure.
#4 - two ways to do this.
1) click on the directions, so it shows the whole directions. It will also show the whole route.
2) Click on the little compass in the right hand corner of the screen. one of the clicks will show your whole route I believe.

#1 - Voice Control? Right button - open sketchbook? Not sure if it’s a documented voice control but worth trying, only one button push.

Ya. Tried it. Don't work but thanks.

 

[Pooch Gravy]

Yes! For my #2 query: Lock My Map (above), by tapping 3 times on the compass, it will show me the whole route without zooming in. Thanks!

For #3, Trace My Route, you can get that from your Google Maps timeline. It works better some times than others. There are other apps you could try.

One more thing- I often use my rear camera for a view to see how close I can get to a brick wall when I park.
It would be great to enable the front camera (while driving) to see what I'm running into up front.

I look at the parking sensor lines on car icon. Helps a lot with since it provides distance from objects in inches.

I'm not sure this will work so well. The rear camera is mounted low near the license plate, but the forward facing camera is up high, not so far from where your eyes are.

Wear a Sony voice recorder around your neck for quick verbal notation. Nothing can beat this on a trip; write down a plate# while driving?Sure - if you have FSD.

Good point. I forgot the front cameras are up so high...

Actually you can just tap once on the first direction step to get the full route.

Three things would make my Model 3 perfect: 1. larger fonts on display screen; 2. wiper for rear window; 3. heated steering wheel.
