Swipe Navigation

Hey guys. Read somewhere that you can "swipe left" the navi screen where the driver or the front passenger can set a route on the navigation display and then swipe it towards the ADAD to display exact directions. Has anyone done this? I haven't been able to figure this out.

From the Owner's Manual:

NAVIGATION SWIPE TO METER

Turn-by-turn route guidance can also be viewed in the vehicle information display by using Navigation Swipe to Meter. This can be done by programming a route, touching the turn-by-turn route icon on the center display, and swiping towards the general direction of the vehicle information display.

The turn-by-turn route icon will move across the center display and transfer the route information to the vehicle information display when the vehicle is not moving.

The icon will not move across the screen if the vehicle is moving over speeds of 7 kph (4 mph), yet the information will still transfer to the vehicle information display.

The turn-by-turn route guidance cannot be transferred to the vehicle information display if the navigation screen is already shown or if a warning is present.

I couldn't get it to work. But how is this different from the turn by turn navigation information that's already displayed in the vehicle information display.

Okay I tried this and it didn't work. Can someone take a screenshot(s) or a video?

Thanks to the above video, I got it to work. And, there is no difference from the turn by turn navigation information that's already displayed in the vehicle information display. All the "Swipe to Meter" does is switch the vehicle information display to the navigation screen which is also available by using the right and left arrow buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. Maybe a few less button pushes, but using the buttons on the steering wheel keeps the fingerprints off the navigation screen.

I completely agree. If it wasn't an available option on the wheel I could understand why this feature would be great...this just seems silly to me.
