Navigation » Silly Question NAV VI

I must be overlooking something but unlike my 2016 R1200RS with a Nav V; the wonderwheel doesn't change the display on the satnav for a 2021 R1250RS with TFT and a Nav VI. Is there a setting that needs to be altered- I couldn't find anything useful when exploring Settings on the TFT. Sorry, if this has already been discussed to death. I found a You Tube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzPoILCj-aU but it was a bit complicated. I don't want my phone connected to the TFT, it's too distracting.

As I recall, the software makes you back out to the root menu to go from TFT to Nav control. It’s been soundly criticized as you shouldn’t have to do so much to go from one to another.

With the sat Nav fitted, On the ‘main’ screen you should see two blocks one above the other with ‘Nav’ in one (I think) and ‘TFT’ below it. To move to the Nav, hold the rocker used for the TFT menus in the up position. The wonder wheel should now operate the Nav.

I barely use the Nav now as the TFT navigation works for me, so I alway forget to do the above.

hmm for the main screen on the TFT I don't see this nor on the main settings screen on the TFT. Nothing similar on the satnav screen either. Maybe the software's been upgraded or it's just I am insurmountably dense.

With the NAV VI in place and ignition on, you should be able to see the following in the upper left corner of the TFT

With pressing the top side of the menu switch for a second (Button nr. 9) the active function will move between TFT and NAV

It is not a silly question. It took me a couple of minutes to work it out. And now I do it without thinking about it.

To remove the jargon. I suggest, with the Nav VI in place and, say, a map on the screen that you keep toggling the menu rocker switch up then turn the wonderwheel then toggle the Menu up another notch. Keep doing that until you get some "action" on the Nav VI. As the previous post says you may need a long press to get there.

No doubt the interface was designed by a committee that never met.

Ah success- thanks very much gentlemen! I don't think this is a very well designed interface but at least it works. I'm getting used to the beast now and I have to say that I'm enjoying myself.

It's literally, in the manual

I did say it was a silly question and offer that I am dense. ;) I'll also comment that the manual is poorly written and a PITA to read. Respectfully. GC
