Default Navigation Layout Question

I have a navi question - is there anyway to display a small map on the right side of the screen? When i have the apps or audio (BT, sat, FM, etc) on the large portion of the screen (to the left) i would like to have the navi on the right, but all i seem to be able to display is a/c, audio (which is often redundant as it may be already displayed on the left) or fuel consumption. My 07 bmw could do this no problem. does anyone know how to do this? hopefully i am overlooking something very simple

BMW split screen nav does that, but the Lexus nav does not.

Wish it could do that. That way I can customize the screen and prioritize what I want on the main and secondary screen.

I wish the whole screen could be arranged as the navigation screen.

Is this the navi screen option you guys are looking for? Clicking on "Map mode" button in the navi screen will bring it up...

The "dual map" doesn't make the small screen to the right a nav screen though, it just makes the larger left screen a dual map screen.

I initially missed this setup of smaller map and larger music/phone in my old 3 series. However there is so much real estate on the screen of my new GS I no longer miss it.

The option to customize the layout further would be cool, maybe Lexus will add in a later software update.
