Map Zoom on Model 3

[Simonix]

Hi all.

There seems to be some similar threads about this, but after reading them and following the advice, I am still stumped?!

When using the Nav (or even just the basic map display), it will not stay zoomed in.

I have played with the "north up" & "heading up" settings and both the full expanded and minimised route instruction menu. I know that when you pinch and zoom, it doesn't track the car, and according to both advice on here and in the owner's manual (shown below), the + & - buttons should allow for the zoom level to be kept and also track the car.

No matter what I do, it zooms back out after a few seconds, or pops up with the "tracking disabled" message.

Is the owners manual wrong? Or should I raise as a bug report? Very annoying when you want a clearer view of a busy/complicated junction, but the map wants to show me a 1 mile radius instead?!

steps view on the right -

- extended to show all steps and charge % estimation - map fully zoomed out
- shrunk to show just next turning - map fully zoomed in

Neither seems to me to auto zoom to the next turning which I'd prefer

Yeah, tried both of those, but still no change.

Also does it when no routing is in progress?!

The map does autozoom as you approach junctions on heading up view. The issue is more whether it's enough for you and/or the lack of user controllability.

I personally find it fine, but I can understand why some might find the 'Tesla knows best' approach irksome.

Sounds like it's just the way it is then.

Doesn't stay zoomed in enough for my preference, how frustrating!

I find it too zoomed out to see how many exits a roundabout has which I find a problem since the voice commands in relation to which exit to take cannot be relied upon to be accurate.

Exactly this! This is my issue. In all my cars, I have always preferred to switch off the voice directions, and glance at the map/instructions instead.

Having some bloody robot interrupting my music to tell me to "turn left" or whatever, has always been irritating, no matter what car it is.

Ok, just had another play.

It seems to stay zoomed in when not navigating.

However, as soon as it’s routing, it will zoom out UNLESS it’s in the North up setting.

Seems it doesn’t like it in the heading up setting?

I was not joking either it cannot count anyway and regularly tells you the wrong exit on roundabouts even though the map ( which is too small to read) is showing the right one. Having said that the map occasionally tells you to go around roundabouts the wrong way which is not ideal either.
