So I have had my GS 450H for a less than two months. Within two weeks, it seemed that the left hand side (bigger part of the split screen) would always switch to the Map view, whenever I had on either the radio or AC operations screen up. However, it seemed to go away, or I have been driving with the Fuel mileage screen on. I took my first trip this weekend, and used the Destination point, which worked great. I had to delete the destination this morning as the car started a route back there. But I wanted to put the XM radio screen up to flip around if need be, and lo and behold, after about 30 seconds it keeps on switching over to the Map view. I don't want the map view. I am not using a Destination or the map to go anywhere other than local driving. It has happened at least five times today. I went to the dealer once, and they said to note times it is happening and record it if possible, as there are not any default settings to change. So my question obviously is, has anyone else had this happen? Is there a setting I need to change? Is it user error or a nav screen malfunction? Thanks.

 

In the settings there is a auto screen switch setting. Turn it to off.

 

Thanks Huskernks. That is why I shouldn’t ask the service dept for specific items that I have questions on. It was probably in some manual, but to be honest, when I saw the size of the navigation manual, I almost choked. How complicated can you make a navigation system that you have to have a 300 page manual just to operate it? And another thing, why would there be an auto screen switch setting anyway? If I put a certain screen on, that is what I want on until I switch it. Just me venting.

 

That worked. Thx
