Anyone able to set a split screen...half with the Navi and half with music playing?

 

No sir, not possible. I wish it was.

 

This would be awesome!

I hear the new 2010 Mercedes S550 will have this feature... but that is a $90,000+ car...

 

Not possible

 

For me it would make the map too small to be useful.

 

I'm surprised. I assumed this would be a feature that's fairly common. The NAV in our Buick Enclave does split screen just fine. As you toggle through the various views it offers, one is a split screen that shows map on one side and text directions on the other. Another, view has map on one side and current music/audio information on the other side. Is that the kind of functionality you're talking about?

 

If you go to the status screen it shows the music on top and the navigation on bottom.
