Porsche Navigation versus CarPlay Navigation: Is there a clear winner?

[verdee]

Is there a way to make the Apple Maps in the instrument cluster not the zoomed out version? I would prefer to see the route in more detail and not the overview

In the center display, there is an icon that toggles it. I will update if I find a way in the instrument cluster

This seems to be covered in this thread Apple Maps EV Charging

Thanks, so it seems EV routing is coming but not here yet. I did search but didn't find that thread before.

I prefer using the Porsche in car navigation for the following advantages:

• in Prosche's EV's the in car navigation will show the estimated battery percentage @ destination - it's pretty accurate a fabulous trip planning tool
  • it also updates/adjusts while you're driving - so you have constant feedback as to if you're going to make your destination based on current estimate battery % at destination
• integration with the HUD showing driving directions
  • I understand the new Macan has some carplay integration - but it's not as complete as the PCM native navigation
• battery preconditioning for fast charging

the items listed above make the PCM navigation my preferred choice for actual road trips - if I'm just bopping around town and using navigation purely for duration/distance/arrival time I use carplay - if I'm "traveling" and need to know consumption and likely arrival battery capacity and also need the actual driving directions PCM navigation.

From my recent road trip and week about town, I completely agree with @daveo4EV - Porsche on the road as a result of the deep charger and battery integration and Apple CarPlay around town for better directions, simplicity, and phone integration! These preferences hold with the excellent Macan HUD features.
