A:Answer I have not seen the feature that you are looking for - that is, texting the directions to your phone. However, the display can be set to show directions rather than the map. Also, at the top of the display are very clear and accurate and detailed displays of road names and road signs. For example, on highways it shows a what appears to be an accurate picture of the sign which you are approaching. Very cool, actually. Additionally, if you are on the highway, it splits the screen and shows you which lane to be in with uncanny accuracy. That too is very cool.
