Physical buttons can be operated without looks, and thus they should be allocated to common interactions like channel presets, or at least up/down to cycle through those presets.
- The screen digitizer calibration sucks, it's easy to "miss" onscreen buttons. The lag between touch and response is too damn high.
- Radio station presets and the tuning buttons are located towards the center of the screen instead of the physical edge, which aggravates gorilla arm, and forces you to take your eyes off the road to see a simple station change. Locating these soft buttons near the edge (especially near physical cues along the edge) would eliminate some of the need for the aforementioned hard buttons.
Given all that I actually agree with the dude. They made the UI so shitty that secondary physical button (on the wheel or wherever) would really improve safety. |
Common sense tells me that the stock nav UI sucks. Having taken a few human-computer interaction classes tells me that the stock nav UI is downright abominable. Reminds me of the first-gen iDrive.
