Preminum NAV System - Few Question from a New Owner

[cdkuttnauer]

Just picked up my new 2011 Genesis Sedan V8 4.6 in Titanium Gray yesterday and had my first long drive & played with the navigation system. I am coming from a 2008 BMW 535xi...and pretty impressed with the vehicle...has more bells & whistles...not much downside. Really like the voice commands, just wished it also had a touchscreen.

In playing with the navigation system, I have a few questions that I could not find if it is available or how to set it up. They are:

o Is there an option to show Estimated Arrival Time? I see you can change inputs for residential/city/highway speeds and see the Remaining Time...but could not find Arrival Time. Is this available, if so where?

o When you are displaying the navigation map, it does not show any of the other system items, like A/V in use, Time, etc. Is there an option to show the status line?

o One thing I likes on the BMW NAV system is having a split screen...half showing the map and the other side with any of the other functions. Is this available?

o One more question...regarding the phone and importing contacts. I am using an iPhone with 3000 entries. Is there a way choose which entries get loaded? Does it load the Favorites first or just goes to the contact listing?

Thanks for your assistance.

I think all of your questions are answered in the owner's manuals. My wife and I spent a few days reading and then checking out all functions while in our driveway. I don't think it shows time of arrival, only total time left to destination. We have had our 2011 4.6 for about a month now find the voice command rocks, we use it for all functions in th DIS.

Not an expert, but I don't believe time of arrival is an available display option

o When you are displaying the navigation map, it does not show any of the other system items, like A/V in use, Time, etc. Is there an option to show the status line?

Same disclaimer, but I don't think so.

o One thing I likes on the BMW NAV system is having a split screen...half showing the map and the other side with any of the other functions. Is this available?

The only split screen available is the turn by turn screen and the main map screen

o One more question...regarding the phone and importing contacts. I am using an iPhone with 3000 entries. Is there a way choose which entries get loaded? Does it load the Favorites first or just goes to the contact listing?

I don't think you can selectively load entries from your phone book, but you can delete them, and you can change the default phone number for each entry.
