Whats your favorite discovered feature?

If you look at the photo in the top left corner you'll see the compass and an "Options" button to the right of it. Clicking the compass button in the top left allows you to cycle through the available views. The closer you have the map zoomed in, the more buildings & details you'll see.

Since you aren't in a big city that they have taken the time to render the buildings, you probably won't see it. Take a trip to Chicago or other major metropolitan and see if it works there. I am in LV where it works, but if I go outside of the city to Mt. Charleston, there are no buildings that show up. They don't have the capacity to render every building in the US.

Dynamic Rear Steering
Update: Just tested heavily, it rotates the car in S+. Previous: I haven’t had the opportunity to exploit it yet, but was stoked that rear steering came with my “new” 2015 Atomic Silver GS350 F Sport.

Thanks for the info. Going to Chicago in a few days and I'll see if it works there. It's a pretty neat feature to have if you live in an area where you can use it.

Now I can't get weather radar which is supposed to be free via the weather channel. It keeps saying no data available try again later. Would this be the same reason no 3D since I don't live in a larger city?

You should be able to get 3-D NAV (where you can see building elevations, etc. on the screen) when you get near or into a large city. Many people don't keep their NAV screen on the 3-D setting because it somewhat distorts the map image when you're just traveling from Point A to Point B. However, temporarily using 3-D can be helpful when you are amongst many tall buildings trying to find your way in a large city you are unfamiliar with.

I didn't realize we had a weather map, cool! I've used the "Current Weather" option but never paid attention to the map. How cool. @charley95 As the video mentions, it should be subscription free.
