Porsche Nav - Can't see Routes
I have a 2012 Boxster S with Navigation and every time I input a destination, it "tries" to show me 3 available routes. But as I look at the screen, there's NO WAY to see what the routes are because of these RED circles with WHITE dashes in them. They totally block out the routes. Since I've never seen this mentioned before, I'm hoping it's just a setting that I can change. ???
What I do now is enter the route into Google Maps on my iPhone and follow that route which "sometime" will recalculate to the route from Google Maps.
Sometimes I just give in and use Google Maps but I do like being able to see the route on the built-in screen as well as the PCM arrows and miles to next turn on the dashboard view.
Is there a setting that I need to change?
Thanks in advance!

No idea about your navi, but on mine I simply hit the + button to zoom in and see the details of the proposed route options.
You've got this, and can then move the screen around too if needed to see the route details?
My navi also has an option to delete route notifications and other icons as needed, but again not sure for the OEM (as Japan does not use).

Which is possibly not a good thing for me to assume...

Surprised though, other users with the same navi havn't commented on how you map roll on that model.
One of your routes looks like it goes down PCH past where I used to live in Hermosa...
Hope you took the scenic route.

The signs that you are seeing on the screen are traffic advisories. See if you can delete the traffic report function of the navigation system. That should make the signs disappear and give you a clear view of the map. Like Points-of-Interest (POI) flags, traffic reports can be annoying if there are too many of them in view.
