During Navigation - Tesla S Owner's Manual

Maps and Navigation

During Navigation

During navigation, the touchscreen displays
the navigation route on the map, and a turn-
by-turn direction list that includes estimated
driving time, mileage, and arrival time.
Depending on the map's zoom level, you
might not be able to see the entire route. But
as you drive, the map shows your location on
the map.
The instrument panel also displays directions
to your destination and you hear spoken
instructions. To change the language of
spoken instructions, touch Controls >
Settings > Language & Units > Navigation
Language.
Model S detects real-time traffic conditions
and automatically adjusts the estimated
driving and arrival times based on traffic
conditions. In situations where traffic
conditions will delay your estimated time of
arrival and an alternate route is available,
Model S reroutes you to your destination. You
can turn this feature off by touching
Controls > Settings > Apps > Maps &
Navigation > Traffic-Based Routing.
Note: Traffic-based navigation is a BETA
feature in Release 6.0.
When you display the traffic layer on the map,
green traffic lines display under the route line,
whereas yellow and red traffic lines display on
top of the route line to ensure that heavy
traffic areas are easy to identify.
Model S can also monitor traffic to your work
location (on weekday mornings) and to your
home location (on weekday evenings) and
advise you if there is a better route in
situations where traffic conditions will cause a
delay. You can set the time savings required
before the advice is given by touching
Controls > Settings > Apps > Maps &
Navigation > Min Improvement for Commute
Advice.
Note: Commute advice is available only if you
have saved a Home and Work Location
(described below).

Favorite Destinations
If you frequently navigate to a destination,
you may want to add it as a Favorite to avoid
having to enter the location's name or address
each time. When you add a destination as a
Favorite, you can easily navigate to it by
touching PLACES, then selecting it from the
list of Favorites. The Favorites list has
placeholders for your Home and Work
locations. In fact, Model S may prompt you to
save a current location as Home or Work
based on your usage pattern.
Add any destination to your list of
Favorites by either touching its flag
while navigating to it, or by
displaying it on the map then
touching its pin. Then, in the popup
dialog that appears, touch the
Favorites icon. When a destination is
on your Favorites list, the icon is
blue. To remove a favorite
destination, touch the Favorites icon
again.
Updated Maps
Be sure to periodically connect Model S to a
Wi-Fi network to receive new maps (see
Connecting to Wi-Fi on page 91). As
updated maps become available, they are sent
to Model S over Wi-Fi only. The touchscreen
displays a message informing you when new
maps are installed.
