The route overview icon is available
on the right side of the search bar
whenever a navigation route is
active. You can toggle between
North Up, Heading Up, and Route
Overview (see Using Maps on page
116). As you travel on your
navigation route, the zoom level
adjusts to display an overview of
the route and zooms in on your
destination as you make progress
on your trip.
The touchscreen also displays a turn-by-turn
direction list that includes estimated driving
time and arrival time.
During navigation, the instrument panel also
displays the turn-by-turn directions and you
will hear spoken instructions. To change the volume of the spoken instructions use the
scroll wheel on the left side of the steering wheel when the navigation instructions are
being spoken. You can also touch the volume button located on the turn-by-turn direction
list displayed on the touchscreen.
Model S detects real-time
traffic conditions
and automatically adjusts the estimated driving and arrival times based on
trafficconditions. In situations where trafficconditions will delay your estimated time of
arrival and an alternate route is available,
Model S reroutes you to your destination. You
can turn this feature
off by touching
Controls > Settings > Apps > Maps &
Navigation >
Traffic-Based Routing > Off.
When you display the
traffic layer on the map,
green traffic lines display under the route line,
whereas yellow and red traffic lines display on
top of the route line to ensure that heavy
traffic areas are easy to identify.
Model S can also monitor
traffic to your work
location (on weekday mornings) and to your home location (on weekday evenings) and
advise you if there is a better route in
situations where
traffic conditions will cause a
delay. You can set the time savings required
before the advice is given by touching Controls > Settings > Apps > Maps &
Navigation > Min Improvement for Commute Advice.
As you approach an upcoming turn on your
navigation route, a vertical progression bar
displays on the right side of the touchscreen
