I feel these displays with absence of physical knobs for radio and climate control are mostly meant for voice control. Same goes for any other similar car (Tesla 3 stands out with tiny hard to reach screen buttons)
Kind of like the Polstar 2 with four quadrants? June

Suggest to her she use CarPlay. Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze all work beautifully, and beat the snot out of every native navigation I've ever seen.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!
