Hi, buildings will only be shown if you have the map set to 3D and only for cities or large towns. 3D buildings aren't available for small towns - but more are being added. You need to be in Navigation mode and select the map options on the screen to choose preferences.

Here's a video of the Connected NAV system start to finish. I suggest you watch it all the way through, but the specific bit you want is at about time index 7:00

No problem, I was a bit shocked when I drove into Cardiff with a friend to visit his family a few years back after a business trip and as soon as I hit the Navigation it was like 'Land of the Giants' with all the buildings given 3D perspective. It made a lot of sense as you got more of a visual cue as to where you were, as opposed to a flat line of the road.
