Xavpic, if that ever happens... I am prepared to eat my hat! :-)
I even wonder as Android Auto and apple carplay evolves into something even more advanced, a few years from now, whether 2021 specced cars will still be able to support those!?

The Vehicle Information Display/Digital Cockpit has up to 19 screens of information, where equipped. Two relate to navigation but only for the built-in Nissan TomTom SatNav when a route is being followed? 🤷🏻‍♂️ :?

It's exactly that. When a route is being followed you can view the map in the Digital Cockpit. When there isn't a route, you only can see the compass and the street name you are. Checked this morning.

Thank you Sandgrounder for these pictures from your manual !
If only I could get my hands on a digital version of the User's Guide before I get the car.
(I do have the Nissan Driver's App, but that is far from complete!)

I have the digital version in Spanish. I sent an email to Nissan and they sent me the guide very kindly.

Another variation on the theme - albeit this is actually using built-in Google software so more integrated than we've seen previously. Neat shelf just under for wireless charging too.

Nissan need to raise their game, albeit the Megane is actually more of an Ariya competitor these days at £38k+!

I see Google are working on getting AA into the dashboard. Available on the not-yet-available BMW iX so far as of June 2021:

BMW dashboards used to be THE model of clarity! Now they're the model of confusion!

The Polestar 2 like the Megane also uses Google for the operating system:

gloucester, that new Renault E-Tech EV is indeed incredible.
This is of course all that I had in mind with my rant about Google Maps and Waze not shown in the J122 QQ digital dashboard.
If only other non-EV cars had these features as well !
