Map Overview
The touchscreen displays a map at all times (except
when Model X is shifted into Reverse).
Use your finger(s) to interact with the map:
• To move the map in any direction, hold and drag a
finger.
• To rotate the map in any direction, hold and turn two
fingers.
• To zoom the map in or out, expand or pinch two
fingers, respectively.
NOTE:
When you rotate or move the map, your current
location is no longer tracked. The message "Tracking
Disabled" displays briefly next to the map orientation
icon and the icon turns gray. To re-enable tracking, touch
the map's orientation icon and choose North Up or
Heading Up.
NOTE:
The map zooms in and out automatically when a
navigation route is active.
To change the orientation of the map, toggle between
these options:
North Up - North is always at the top of
the screen.
Heading Up - The direction you are
driving is always at the top of the screen.
The map rotates as you change direction.
This icon has an integrated compass that
indicates the direction you are driving.
NOTE:
Touching this icon while
navigating to a destination displays the
route overview.
The route overview is available when you
are navigating to a destination. The route
overview also displays when you expand
the turn-by-turn direction list (by swiping
it downward). When you collapse the
turn-by-turn direction list by swiping it
upward, the map reverts back to
displaying your previously chosen
orientation.
Your current location is shown on the map. When you
rotate or move the map, your current location is no
longer tracked. To re-enable tracking, touch the map's
orientation icon to choose North Up or Heading Up.
When you touch the map while a navigation route is
active, the turn-by-turn direction list displays the next
set of directions and the orientation icon disappears.
Touch anywhere on the map to re-display it.

Touch these icons to customize what the map displays:
Display/hide satellite imagery (if equipped

Drop a pin anywhere on the map by pressing and
holding your finger on a desired location. When you
drop a pin, or touch an existing pin, the chosen location
is centered on the map, and a popup screen provides
information about the location. From this popup, you
can navigate to the location, call the location (if a phone
number is available) and add or remove the location
from your list of favorite destinations (see
and Favorite Destinations on page 145
Display/hide all charging locations and a
popup list that includes the city and

list to filter by the types of chargers based
