Hi EQElers, How can I make the entire Route visible while driving to a programmed destination? I want to see it on the Map, not the EQ Info. I can’t see a simple button or sequence of inputs to get to see a total Route Overview as it is in G. Maps with the two arrows in Y shape.
Thank You.

You can view alternate routes in the navigation. That'll show you the entire map. But you won't want to drive that way. Alternatively, you can manually zoom out and it'll hold that view until you click "Center" if you prefer driving that way.
Thanks for the Input. @bytemaster0 That is what I am doing right now but was hoping to find a Route Overview function as it is available in any other Navigation System. Wise, Google etc. I do not like the visual optics in Carplay. When using Carplay, You don't get the Navi in the screen in front of you anymore. The last time I tried to swap back and forth from Wise and MBUX Navi to see the Route driving in the City to find an Address that was given to me. It that was not a physical address. MBUX could not find the Address. It was quite stressful to do so while in traffic.
Thanks for Your Help.
The "compass" in the red box is a toggle button. It cycles through 2D, 3D, North Up and Route Overview.
Edit: Cannot seem to upload my screenshot. In any event, the "toggle button" I'm referring to is in the lower left corner of the MBUX Nav screen and looks like a compass needle. Keep pressing it to cycle through the options.

Yes, Thank You, I didn’t know of the extra function of this button in the Screen. It is only available while using the Navi System. One has to find this out the complicated way. What else is hidden in this complex System?
Thanks again, this Forum is so much help!!!
That said, it is disturbing to know that none of the Mercedes Sales Reps know anything about the Product they selling. I don’t know if that is different in Europe, but from the amount of Videos from Dealers in Germany where they show all these Tricks and Functions tells me their knowledge base is a bit higher than over here in the US.
@ScottC2 , good call! I forgot about that feature! Very handy indeed, and actually well-placed. Perhaps the only tricky thing about it is that it only works when navigation is enabled (obviously), so one tends to forget it's there when cycling through views without a destination added.

it's the same here in France .
they know very little about all the functions in the mbux system , which is a bit strange as it's a bit part of what the car is all about.
however on delivery a "star expert" (i think that's what they are called) will go through the whole car with you and they do know everything
