As far as I know it is visual. You can see the next turn but you can't see the one after that unless you move the map with your finger, which is hard to do when you are the one driving. When I make the turn, I want to know immediately which lane to get in for the next one instead of having to wait until the turn is completed to find out I should have gotten in a different lane. Google maps works great when DH is driving and I navigate; not so good when I'm alone in the car.
It came in black with silver hardware. There was a color called smoke with brass hardware so that could be the grey you've seen.
Sent you a PM so you don’t get sniped if you want it
I hate programming the native nav system in my car, but it is easier to follow commands from than using Google maps on my phone. I got so lost using Google because it told me to go right when the options were left or straight and then it doesn’t say “recalculating” to let you know you goofed.
Apple map from IPhone is pretty good. It give verbal directions and lane guidence way ahead, if you need to change lane immediately following a turn, it will tell you all of that before you approaching the turn.
When I use it, the voice tells me which lane to go in well before I actually need to be in that lane. Im wondering if it’s a Canadian thing then? I use it all the time, it’s reduces my anxiety on the highway because I hate lane changing last minute at such high speeds for fear of a car being in my blind spot lol
Thank you! Interesting, the catalog page I've seen showed the color grey with silver hw. I wonder if smoke is a different grey, or a different name for the same color. I'm pretty sure the catalog just said dark grey.
Got it, thank you!! What a gorgeous bag!! Oh gosh, I don't know what to do!Sent you a PM so you don’t get sniped if you want it
The nav system in our Ford car is terrible. Sometimes it shows us driving where there isn't a road! It is a stupid system, which requires you to say North America every time, and never gives the correct option while it guesses what you said. With Google, I can say navigate to "the name of a place" and it assumes I mean one nearby. I use Android auto which puts Google maps from my phone onto the screen in the car with sound through the car speakers. My daughter uses Waze. She says it is better.
In most the pics it seemed red, but that one interior shot just looked orange. Which color did you want?
My Prius’ system is just weird to use. You normally type in an address by street number with street name, but it makes you have to put the name in first for this. And you can’t type into it while driving, which is a safety feature, but when you no longer need it and just want to push the off button because you are almost home, you can’t unless you get a red light. If you can turn the radio On/off while driving, you should be able to tell the “voice” to shut up while driving.
