Actually you can. That was the first thing I changed when I got the car (I'm used to direction of travel, default is north). Just press the compass looking icon near the top right to toggle between the options.The map has a mind on its own- it zooms in and out, can't save settings such as map stays on a "north" direction vs direction of travel.
Yes all other manufactures navigation system are crap also. I am basing it on Google Maps (think this is the best system) and Waze. I guess it is like using Google maps and then trying Apple maps- not in the same league.
Rarely if ever use the built in navigation system. Used it today and did not displease. Utter garbage, period.. Maybe acceptable 10 years ago.
Using a phone for nav is so silly when you have Tesla built-in nav on a huge screen and Supercharger and battery pre-heating integration, plus built-in fiddle-free voice control. Fiddling with your tiny-screened phone whilst driving isn't best-practices for safe and attentive driving, assuming you're not using voice control.
The amount of attention it takes to see a tiny screen from the wireless charging pad is objectively more distracting than seeing the big Tesla nav screen.
Why would you want to fiddle with a phone's nav in a modern vehicle? That's what you do in a 1996 Daihatsu Charade when you're 17 and your phone's tech outshines your car—not a Tesla.
By the way, 'did not displease' means you were pleased. This is similar to 'could care less' which means you care some and *could* care less but don't.
Actually Tesla should keep it out and charge you if you really want it. I think HomeLink is a must have feature than their current navigation system.
Would you pay $10 per month for it ? MY comes with only 1 year free premium connectivity which includes live traffic.
$10 a month is fine, try Audi where it's $29 a month for traffic and Satellite maps plus $10 or more for ATT LTE depending on data. $10 is pretty routine for an LTE additional device.
We use the navigation almost everywhere we go, used it today, avoided major traffic and works great.
I'm not saying it replaces Waze for police detection and real-time traffic, but it is pretty good.
With Apple Maps I like that you can report an issue, and it gets quickly fixed. I've reported numerous issues with Apple maps, and they've all gotten fixed quickly.
With Google Maps I presume one can report a problem, and they to will fix it promptly.
With Tesla navigation I get to enjoy multiple years of the same errors with no ability whatsoever to do a damn thing about them.
Dont be absurd .. if you dont like it, dont use it. If you have suggestions to improve it, or specific issues, make them clear to Tesla. Oh, and "did not displease" is a double negative.Rarely if ever use the built in navigation system. Used it today and did not displease. Utter garbage, period.. Maybe acceptable 10 years ago.
Having worked for a large software company, I think of the current Tesla UI as Windows 3.0. We will all just have to wait for Windows 95. Being a "Platform" is hard.
If I were advising Tesla, I would tell them to put most of their resources on FSD. That would be a real discriminator against the competition that is coming at them. Their UI is good enough. When they have FSD in the vault, then they can do Windows95. Ship as many cars as you can for as long as you can. They have an advantage that most car companies are just not developing. They can do OTA. Other car companies want to sell you a new car to get a new infotainment system. BMW did that to me for 20 years.
I like to know where they are so the car can break-down, or get a flat tire, just as I am approaching...Police detection? So that you can find them when you need them, right? Not because you're avoiding them or changing your behavior because of their presence?
