Introduction to navigation

Introduction

In this section you’ll find information about:

Navigation limitations

Navigation main menu

General information

The current driving position is determined via the Global Positioning System (GPS). Sensors in the
vehicle measure distances driven. All measurements are compared to the stored detailed map infor-
mation and the road traffic routing stored on the navigation data medium. If required, traffic reports are
taken into account in the route calculation. Based on this data, the navigation system calculates the
optimal directions to the destination.

An address or a point of interest, such as a gas station or hotel, can be entered as a destination.

Acoustic navigation messages and graphic display on the navigation device and in the instrument
cluster guide to the destination.

Depending on the country, some of the Infotainment System's functions can no longer be selected
when the vehicle is travelling above a certain speed. This is not a malfunction, but rather compliance
with legal regulations.

Navigation limitations

Please first read and heed the WARNINGS

note the introductory information and heed

the WARNINGS

Navigation data

All navigation data required for navigation is stored in the unit navigation data memory.

Street routing is subject to ongoing changes like, for example, new streets, street names or street
numbers. The route guidance may be inaccurate or incorrect if the navigation data is no longer up to
date. You should therefore have the unit navigation data memory updated by a Volkswagen dealer-
ship on a regular basis. The updates are subject to a fee.

Possible errors in navigation

When the navigation system cannot receive any data from GPS satellites (dense canopy of trees,
tunnel, underground car park), navigation can still continue using the vehicle sensors.

In areas that are not or only incompletely digitized on the data medium (such as one-way streets and
street type not sufficiently captured), the navigation system also tries to enable route guidance.

Please remember that the navigation may sometimes not be so accurate as usual if the precise vehi-
cle position cannot be determined.
