Is there a way to navigate to a location, while stopping at another location along the way?

[Samathan]

E.g. navigating to work, while stopping at In-N-Out along the way?

Essentially what you are asking for is called a "waypoint". This is not possible (at the moment) with the built-in navigation system. People have been asking for it here for quite awhile.

You'll soon get the feature... I believe Elon will get it to us in "2 weeks"

Enter them all then route to the first one. Then route to the second after getting to the first.

 

[SlimJim]

Apple car play can do that.

I would use A Better Route Plan app until Tesla updates to waypoints.

Until Waypoints are added to the navigation.

The next best thing would to have your next location address opened on your phone (Apple Maps or Google Maps) and send the location to Tesla once you’ve arrived at your first destination.

OMG, someone please remind St. Elon he promised us waypoints long time ago.

You could also plan it with a waypoint in Google Maps and then share it with the car

I don’t think so. Sharing with the car only shares the endpoint, not the route.

Can you use that app for drive-time navigation? I thought it was for planning only.

Yep. That's what I do. Navigate to each "waypoint" before you start your trip, and immediately cancel. Then navigate to your first stop. Once you get there, your other stops will be at the top of your Recents list for easy recall.

The one exception that the nav will do is if you let it choose Supercharger stops along the way to your final destination. It handles those waypoints fine.

Tesla Nav lacks waypoints or options, it's stone age compared to Google Maps. My workaround is to put all of my destinations into Google Calendar which gets synced to the car. When you get into the car it will display the calandar which will allow you to select the next stop. Tesla's nav has a fetish about always using highways no matter how inconvenient or unscenic, to get around this I add some additional destinations to my calendar which can only be reached by taking the road I want.

Correct.

You are one of the roughly one million of us asking for waypoints.

At the Model S Plaid delivery event on June 11, 2021, fans started heckling Elon with, "Waypoints! Waypoints!"
Elon replied, "Alright, fine we’ll do waypoints. Goddamnit. Alright,”

But Elon has promised Waypoints over and over again:
Tesla’s Musk confirms Navigation Waypoints for custom road trips

Green found that the Waypoint code was already in place in December, 2020.

I got my 2008 Toyota Highlander in 2007. It had waypoints as has every car I have had since except for our two Tesla's. Tesla has been struggling to catch up with literally every other car maker for 14+ years.

Welcome to the world of promised delivery dates for sw features update from Tesla

I plan the trip with ABRP, then put each destination into car nav. ABRP can run the navigation (I never use it that way) and I believe the audio will play over the car speakers if your phone is linked. The problem with using something other than in-car nav is that the car won’t precondition for the next charger. When Tesla adds waypoints, things will (hopefully) be smoother. Until then, it doesn’t feel like a big deal to add the next point into the car so I make sure the car is ready for the next charge.

I'm pretty sure every Templar Knight's 1246 Horse had waypoints.

Horses were the original FSD.
