I know many people ignore the built in Sat Nav and this is a question for those owners who have persevered with the built-in Sat Nav. The other day, whilst trying to make sense of Voice Control with Navigation ,I stumbled across something I felt would be really useful.....but I have no idea how I did it and cannot recreate it. I managed to get a scrollable list of destinations displayed in the area between the Tacho and Speedo in the virtual cockpit (VC) I have VC set up to display the map or route directions. Has anyone else managed to get this list displayed in the VC if so how did you do it?

If I remember/find out I will post on here!

I find it very good, especially as it has live traffic updates. I can't see why people would not use it.

I'm becoming disillusioned with Waze - twice last week it let me commit to a route without warning me of serious hold ups - the first Waze seemed to know about 'em was when we were about to join the back of the queue!

I like the realtime traffic, I have the map display on in centre of the dashboard even for local journeys as the local council have numerous temporary closures for pothole repairs etc. I have now found a reference in the owners manual about the list of destinations being displayed but it dies says when if how🤔

Where in the manual? I find the Karoq manual appalling to use, and it keeps referring to the "on-line" manual, which never seems to have anything other than vague one line answers that don't work. .

The printed manual, although not 100%, is 'better' than the online manual which has a terrible user interface -everything is chopped up and you can't se the overall picture.. I've tried downloading a PDF version

In my manual its on the top left of Page 65.

This page is in the Virtual Cockpit Section - I would have expected there to be something in the Navigation Section to explain how to get the List of Destinations displayed in the centre section of the dash where the map is displayed. The button cirled in red cycles through the variopus things that can be displayed (Radio, Assist Systems, Navigation, Driving Data etc) some of these have options that can be selected and I'm sure originally on Navigation there was a check box for Dsiplay Map in Cluster, I don't get that anymore. The one time I saw List of Destinations it was a Check Box within Navigation.

So frustrating..

You need to make sure 'Navigation' is selected for the centre display on the VC but make sure 'Show map on dashboard' is unticked. Also, make sure you're not navigating anywhere. Then just scroll down (don't press) on the silver scrolly thing and you'll see a list of recent destinations. Hope that makes sense!

Yes perfect sense, tried it this morning.

@JXR Thanks for the info, if only the Owners Manuals were more detailed. For the nearly a year I've had the 'Show Map on Dashboard' ticked and had to either stop to select a different previous destination from the touch screen OR attempt to talk the 'OH' (who doesn't even have a smart phone) tthrough the touch screen options! So I'm going to choose something else for the centre display on the VC.

On that subject I found an item I'd not seen/heard of before (can't find it in the manual either). In Driving Data (where you can choose from Oil Temp, Water Temp. Speedo, Overview etc) is something called Conv Consumer. This gets displayed as Convenience Consumer -it has a horizontal bar graph, which appears to be showing 'amount' used and underneath a list of the things contributing to the amount used. In my car it listed Heated Door mirrors and Air Conditioning, because both were switched on at the time, I switched the HRW on and that was added to the list. Havent had it displayed long enough to determine precisely what the 'amount' being measured is - but I'm guessing maybe Carbon usage or kw of power.

100% agree. The manuals are not good at all.

I ticked to show 'Convenience Consumers' before but I couldn't find where it was displayed - so turned it back off. Will have another look.

The manuals definitely leave a lot to be desired!
