"True" glide only occurs when there is no interaction going on between the battery, the ICE and the "system'. I have the NAV and have never, never been able to generate more than a second where all arrows of interaction dissapear.
Now, as I said in another post, we either need to remame what TCH'ers are calling "pulse and glide" or stick our noses up and say who cares, we've redefined it.

I was able to get up to about 10 seconds with no arrows showing, but not until my speed got below 35. However, I only have the watered down display available without the NAV system. So perhaps the more detailed display would have possibly shown I wasn't gliding. Who knows?
Regardless, it may get you great mileage, but I won't be doing it. Even on open roads with no one behind you the gas saved is not worth the annoyance of driving like this.
