Default Moving Map

To the guys who have seen the car. Does the map have 3D rendering?

What is 3D rendering? Is that the system on the Range Rovers nav?

wow, audi has a pretty good layout, and from '09 at that. Google didn't even get 3D buildings until last year.

No, more like a computer mouse... no training needed.... Why would anyone want a column shifter? Didn't they die in the '70's... except for 'Benz of course...
