Filter charging stations in Navigation

The VW Navigation for routes and driving directions may be setup to add charger stops as needed. The setup includes options to:

1. Include or not include charging stops

2. Select the speed of chargers considered for stops

3. Specify whether only currently available chargers should be included

4. Turn on or off Electrify America chargers

5. Display range in the navigation map

The question is where to find and change these settings based on your preference?
