Thanks very much. Just have to get the media pro fixed now as it stopped totally working mid journey! So now no nav, radio, phone connection etc. Have to say not been impressed with the media pro system given the financial outlay with the vehicle. Thanks again for the info though, will remember when I get fixed!Enter your destination, go to your map view, click the bottom right settings icon bobs your uncleView attachment 93013
I agree the Nav systems are complicated and unreliable, I had a similar problem to you twice.Thanks very much. Just have to get the media pro fixed now as it stopped totally working mid journey!

In my opinion the Nav is the very worst feature on the vehicle. It’s awful.I would be obliged if anyone would explain to me, how I instruct the Nav. system to avoid tolls.
I thought so too but persevered because I like the route appearing in the dash even whilst my daughter faffs with the radio etc.In my opinion the Nav is the very worst feature on the vehicle. It’s awful.
One issue is a Google map won’t show in the digital dash.Being dependent on an in built sat nav is filed alongside using betamax video cassettes today. Get rid, use Google maps etc with a phone. It updates traffic and routes for free every second.
Am I misunderstanding?One issue is a Google map won’t show in the digital dash.
Recently went to an address that neither VW Satnav nor Google could find!! Waze got me thereThink I’m in the minority here but I really like the VW satnav! Hasn’t let us down yet and I don’t like my phone being tied up when driving…
Now am I missing something?! You can't handle your phone when driving anyway. But if you plug it into the system you can use it all with your voice.Think I’m in the minority here but I really like the VW satnav! Hasn’t let us down yet and I don’t like my phone being tied up when driving…
Not at all, I didn't say I was driving; I'm trying to read the forum in the passenger seat while the missus drivesNow am I missing something?! You can't handle your phone when driving anyway. But if you plug it into the system you can use it all with your voice.
How are you managing this, can only get VW maps on the digital dash. Can get turning directions with Apple Maps.Am I misunderstanding?
I can display the native VW Satnav, Google maps or Waze on the digital dash. The latter two via Apple Car Play.
Via CarPlay I get TomTom and other phone app navigation in the multifunction display, but on the digital dash (by which I mean behind steering wheel) I have only managed to get the VW maps. Perhaps I missed the correct procedure?How are you managing this, can only get VW maps on the digital dash. Can get turning directions with Apple Maps.
They (VW) need to get the current version stable IMHO.Via CarPlay I get TomTom and other phone app navigation in the multifunction display, but on the digital dash (by which I mean behind steering wheel) I have only managed to get the VW maps. Perhaps I missed the correct procedure?
I understand the next version of Carplay may extend display possibilities on the digital dash when it comes out, but whether existing vehicle will be able to upgrade is unclear.
