Well, there are two different navigation techniques for third party charging stations, and I'm not sure which you are referring to.
The ones Tesla "knows about": Touch the "Navigate" dialog box. Then touch the "Charging" tab. Make sure the "two lightning bolt" filter is selected - which is a mix of Urban Superchargers and the third party EVgos with built in adapters. You'll see a list of the charging sites. Select one, and it will do preconditioning on the way.
Alternatively, touch the "Navigate" dialog box. Then type something like "Electrify America" via the on-screen keyboard. You'll get a list of them. If you select one, NO preconditioning will be done on the way.
I don't know if third party sites other than EVgo are supported. But there are several of the EVgos with Tesla support near me here in Silicon Valley. One of the closest to me is the Whole Foods in Cupertino - which is always busy. However it is very near the new 28 stall Cupertino Supercharger site, so most Tesla folks would never need to use it. Another close one is the Lucky Supermarket in Los Altos - which is usually not very busy. It has been my EVgo "test site" in the past. This latter site simply has a normal CHAdeMO adapter hung on a cable. So isn't one of the nicer, more integrated, ones - and interestingly does NOT show up on the "two lightning bolt" listing. (Last time I used it, the charger I was using only gave me like 18 kW - whereas I've gotten much better rates on it in the past. So it was clearly broken, and EVgo gave me a refund. There are two charging stations on site, but I didn't try the other one.)
