Route guidance display in instrument cluster

From what I've read, the instrument cluster in IS350 F Sport can be set to display route guidance info from the nav. I've been trying to find a pic of what that looks like, but came up empty handed. Anyone care to snap a pic and post it up?

Thanks a bunch!

Thanks!

Which Lexus model is this from? Are the graphics the same in the IS350 F Sport?

that is a 2014 IS250 non F-sport, but the display screen looks the same for the nav functions in the center dash...

this is the best I can find on an Fsport model

Bump... so, can anyone post an actual photo of route guidance display in the F Sport cluster?

I went to a Lexus dealer today and sat in an IS250 F Sport, and the sales person couldn't figure out how to show the route guidance there. All it showed was the compass.

Thanks!

I actually did just that. The scroll down button wasn't doing anything.

That's weird. Works for me. You had a destination set? Was it giving you info to get to your destination on the nav screen?

The destination was set, but the car was sitting in the parking lot, not moving. The nav screen was showing us being off a paved road. Maybe if we started moving, and got on the road, it would have worked?

I'm going back there next weekend to test drive the IS350 F Sport, so I'll try it again then.
