Adding a Map only page

Unread post by JohnX »

Can I add a page that is just a map page? I would like to just swipe back and forth from trip computer screen to a full screen map, from full screen map back to trip computer screen, again and again. Is it possible?

I don't think so...

All I've managed to come up with is

From the Trip Computer page
Tap the bottom-left icon to the Apps List
Tap the Map icon (swipe to pre-select the Apps List screen that contains the Map app or move the Map app to the desired Apps List screen)

From the displayed Map page
Swipe the Map screen from the left edge to the right
Tap the bottom-left icon to the Home Grid screen (Trip computer should still be here)

So to go from the Map screen to the Trip Computer screen requires 2 gestures each way
No direct to direct. There will always be an added step.

Not the 'Map Only' page you want, but...

You can open the Map page from any home screen, then swipe left to right to return to the home pages and swipe to the side until the 'Trip Computer' home page is displayed. Now swipe up from the bottom to access the 'Open Pages' ribbon and select the Map page. Now you can Swipe left to right to return to 'Trip Computer' and then swipe up from the bottom to get back to the Map page. Repeat as desired.

I can get it to work that way. Thank you.
Though on my unit, it takes a bunch of up swipes to get to the map thumbnail, and then I have to tap it to enlarge the map to full size.
The swipe left to get back to the trip computer works much smoother.
I hope they add the ability to have a left/right swipe to a full-size map page in a software update.
