Navigation System Is250 F-Sport My2011 "map/voice" Button

[Argento]

"MAP/VOICE" button.

The Owner's Manual describes the function of this button, p13

One of the functions mentioned is to "start guidance"

Is this correct?

I can't see how this would work.

Not sure if the F-Sport is the same as my SEL...but.

I'm thinking maybe it is correct....ish.

Press the button ( top LH side of screen cluster) and if you were on Climate the Map will now be displayed. If you touch your finger on the screen it will set that point as a destination if you choose to accept that point and 'start' the guidance. I did this purely by accident in Wales a couple of weekends back.

Quite useful if you just want to get to a general area and leave the detail until later.

I posted on both yours hoping you'd see one!!

FYI the other post has now been removed as a duplicate.

Colin, sorry about that.

I just wanted to get to the bottom of this as quickly as possible.

As usual, Normski2 seems to have given me good advice.

Yes, that does make sense.

I'll try it. Thanks.

"Quite useful if you just want to get to a general area and leave the detail until later."

Yup. I can see that.

Quite clever and useful I think.

"I posted on both yours hoping you'd see one!!"

Thanks.

I've apologised to Colin for that as you may have seen!

Yes, I've tried it now.

It does work.

Thanks.

I'll be using this feature a lot from now on.

I used to go via POI to find a Tourist Information Centre.

That's when I just wanted to get to the middle of place.

That's a bit of a procedure, as you know.

The MAP method is much easier and quicker.

I'm surprised the Owner's Manual does not make more of it.

It's rather hidden away I think.

Good, glad you sussed it out and tried it.

Another useful thing when doing this.......your display is normally heads up mode. If you press the compass arrow once it will change to North up....makes it easier to locate a place. Press the compasss again to revert to heads up.

[Argento]

normski2, thanks.

I'll try that out soon too.

I can understand how that would help your orientation, as it were.
