[Dave Hedgehog]

After trying just about every stick on / suction cup phone holder for the M3, all of which fall off, finally a phone holder that works

I’m curious why you want your phone up there in your line of sight?

I’m amazed that anyone would prefer to look at SatNav on a tiny phone screen rather than the Tesla’s huge display…🤷‍♂️

We must value different aspects of Navigation systems.

indeed, i want a modern one thats visual presentation is orientated around the car, that accuratly knows about traffic and can report road accidents / road closures in under a minute, that road layout changes are updated within 24 hours and most importantly accuratly shows speed cameras, police, and mobile enforcment vans etc.

not an old fashioned top down out of date system from 2008 that Tesla uses.

the speed limit on my road changed over a year ago, Tesla sat nav still has the old speed, it was changed on waze the next day

I get the feeling nav is lingering on 'someday / maybe' task list. I remember musk replying on twitter bout waypoints, and seemingly having a lightbulb moment, but nothing came of it. Perhaps changing nav would break FSD or something. Whatever the reason, I'm not expecting change soon.

For me, it's not quite bad enough to push me to use phone maps. Sometimes I'll pull up waze in the driving seat, and check Waze has the same route, before setting off.

Not being able to browse a list of podcasts etc on the screen is the more often annoying thing for me.

Yep, no speed cameras where I live, and I mostly drive just slightly faster than the flow of traffic, so I'm not freaking out every time a police vehicle comes into view. BTDT - saving a few minutes of travel time isn't worth the additional stress to me.

YMMV...(and obviously does!)
