"Send Destination to Vehicle" missing?

[LonePalmBJ]

I have a US-based '20 Taycan 4S. I now have the allegedly 'new and improved' My Porsche app in place of the Porsche Connect app. On the Map function of My Porsche I can search for destinations or search for chargers as before. I can also designate destinations as a Favorite or remove them as Favorites and this manifests in the vehicle too.

In the App, I no longer have the ability to route to the destination however (a subject for a different thread) but more troublingly, I no longer seem to have the option to "Send Destination to Vehicle" as I was able to do with the old Porsche Connect app. Interestingly, I do have "Send Destination to Vehicle" if I search for a Charger, but I don't have it if I search for an address, a Point-of-Interest or a Favorite.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a solve or a setting I'm missing?

I have the same issue, although I have never really used this feature. I only looked after the OTA/non-OTA update yesterday and I see exactly the same as you i.e. I can save destinations as favourites, but not "Send to Vehicle". I also can, as you can, send charging points to the vehicle.

Anyone else? I am wondering if I need to tick/untick something in a setting?

Same here.
I already wrote to Porsche smartmobility (again).

"I can't send destinations to the car anymore.
Instead it displays "store as favorite" instead of "send to car" (see att, in green).
Also the display is different and incomplete (see att, in red)
My car is a Taycan MY2020.
Please fix this.

I'm so fed up with this unprofessional crap it annoys me very much!
How hard is it to make a good app without loosing functionality along the way?
It's been two years now.... c'mon!!
I do hope you will fix this!

Regards, Dee."

According to the german PFF forum this "bug" only impacts MY20 & MY21. I do not have this issue with my MY22 and the Porsche Connect or myPorsche App.

My 04/2021 is able to send nav destinations to the car.

Same here. Also have the button. MY '21 (oct/nov 2020)

I do wonder if it's country specific too. Seems like everyone who has the function seems to be in Europe?

If you encounter a problem just shake your phone and a bug report will pop up (including the steps you took and a screenshot).
You can add your description of the problem and more sreenshots.
Very easy and a nice addition to the app.

Thanks same problem for me...we have two cars in the app and it does let me send to our 2021 Panamera but not to our 2020 Taycan. Also the Google search icon has disappeared in the pcm Nav in the Taycan which limits the Nav's ability to find many destinations

I thought I'd chime in with an update. Send to Vehicle is back! I don't know if it was an app update, the server swap that Porsche seems to have done, or what it took but the Send to Vehicle functionality has returned. I've also noticed the the "G" Google Search feature in the car has returned too. I have a 2020 Taycan 4S in the USA
