I recently saw a clip with a new Taycan turbo that has google maps / earth on the cockpit.

Does anyone know about how to access this on the Taycan or is it a turbo exclusive feature?

Probably just zoomed out the satellite view really far.

Do you mean how to get map on the instrument cluster? Select the middle tube and then use the roller knob to select extended map.

You have to chose Google map in the pcm nav/map settings and then chose the map for the center tube (as mentioned above).

I have a GTS- suspect it is a feature for all trims

If you’re asking how to get the satellite view on the cluster, once in the map view you click the roller wheel in and a menu pops up allowing you to adjust the view to your liking. Satellite maps is just a check box on that menu.

I don't have a Google maps option in my RWD US version. However I can toggle to satellite or 3d views.

I’m 99% sure it’s the satellite view that was zoomed way out. In the video you can see the person zooming in like crazy with their right thumb on the scroll wheel. I have not tested it yet.

Yes, - it is satellite view which I think is Google based (although I may not be precise in my description) ?
