So yes … I know it’s a first world problem, but the built in nav is just a little short of where I want it to be … so I’ve been considering throwing in a Garmin Drivesmart GPS?
Pros to the Tesla Nav
Built in range estimates
Integration with supercharger network
Cons to the Tesla Nav
stalls up without connectivity (I park in a underground garage)
Too many unnamed roads
Lane guidance comes very late and is not consistently available
Nav on my phone is much better, but offline is still not great and if I need to quickly check something for whatever reason, I’m having to multitask on the phone which I really do not want to do when driving.
So I’m thinking maybe a Garmin could be an improvement? Even tho there are clunky aspects to the software, it’s still a pretty customizable interface with many years in the Sat Nav space. The smaller model might even serve as a reasonable instrument cluster in the Y.
Thoughts?
