navigation screen

Car direction finder

A navigation screen is a display showing maps, directions, and route guidance, typically built into a vehicle's dashboard or accessed through a portable device.

The term emphasizes the screen itself rather than the broader GPS system: The navigation screen showed traffic delays ahead.

Also called a nav screen.
