this seems like it could be a reason... but it does just fine when manually moving around the 3D map with the joystick, so this can't be it...

Just checked the Nav manual, it appears to show landmarks at 100m or less. I normally leave the map at 200m so that may be why I don't see them. Thanks.

Does it still show the horizon at 100m, or does it fill the screen?

If that's the case, then the use of the fog on the horizon is baffling. However, I have noticed that the map movement in 3D mode is fairly choppy when moving manually, which suggests that the CPU/GPU are being pushed to their limit by the 3D rendering.

Unfortunately, my car's in the shop so I won't be able to confirm for a couple of weeks. Anyone else can reply to this?

It always shows this "end of the earth" view. Pretty cheezy.

On another note, does everyone have to turn the large MMI **** "out" to zoom "in"? Can this be changed to be an intuitive turn in to zoom in?

Default Audi MMI 3D......not so much!
Hey do any of you guys have mmi nav plus package and find the 3D stays on 2D, at best? I have configured it about 3000 times but it's an internal thing and don't know how to fix it.

Any ideas?

thanks

It looks fine when I'm in 3D mode and move around the map. It also looks fine in 2D modes.

Mine looks like that only much less color and bigger blue on top. Its so annoying!

As expected, there are few rendered buildings in my immediate suburban area, but I was pleasantly surprised to see Gillette Stadium pop up when I pulled into Patriot Place yesterday.

As others have cited, in the 3-D view at lower magnifications (greater distance) the curvature of the Earth (horizon) is simulated. Zooming in utilizes the full screen.

The nVidia GPU is more than capable given the 7" screen.

Wow. Really guys?

It's birds eye view and IMO it's far superior to the standard 2d map view. I mean, how is it not obvious that you are viewing it from an angle?
