View a map in the cluster
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
To help drivers view map content while looking straight ahead, you can use the
cluster display option
for the Navigation template.
With this option, you can display a map in the instrument cluster, behind the
steering wheel. This map is noninteractive and can feature its own map view,
independent of any map view that might appear in the center screen. It displays
in the cluster only while the user is navigating with the Navigation
template.
