I hate having half the screen display a useless audio panel leaving only half the map visible. You can make the map full screen for a few seconds but the damn audio panel pops back over it even if you aren't using audio. Is there some way to keep the map full screen? I've looked through the manual but I can't find anything about this.
On my 2016 Prius v Three the setting is in Apps > Setup > General... Auto Change to Home Screen either checked or unchecked depending on what you want. I have mine unchecked so the Nav display stays full screen once I tap on it. Note it does go back to the two/three panel home screen when you shut the car off and subsequently restart the car.
Yes, 'Auto Change to Home Screen' must be unchecked. If you need to have it checked, then press 'Navigation' and the map will remain full screen.
Interestingly, I switched back and forth several times from 'checked' to 'unchecked' for Home Screen. The reason to uncheck was precisely that - sometimes you need to follow streets without using navigation. But then each time I listen to the radio and want to adjust volume and touch accidentally the screen, the station changes. So currently I have it back to 'Return to Home Screen', and one contact that is most likely to be touched accidentally I just made dummy
