Get Navigation Guide for Volkswagen Transporter Van Seventh Generation (2021-2025)

Introduction

The current vehicle position is determined by means of a global satellite system. All measured values and any traffic

reports are compared with the available map material in order to enable optimal navigation to the destination.

Acoustic navigation prompts and graphic representations guide the user to the destination.

In some countries, certain Infotainment system functions can no longer be selected when the vehicle is travelling

above a certain speed. This is not a malfunction, but simply a legal requirement.

WARNING

Configure settings and enter destinations and changes for navigation only when the vehicle is stationary.

If a turn is missed during a route guidance, the navigation may recalculate the

route.

The quality of the navigation recommendations depends on the navigation data available and any reported

traffic problems.

TMC traffic reports are only played on the Infotainment system if theWe Connect service is

activated.

Navigation announcements

Navigation announcements are acoustic driving directions for the route currently travelled.

The type and frequency of navigation announcements depends on the settings and the driving situation, e.g.

motorway driving.

A navigation announcement informing you that you have reached your destination area is played if the exact

destination cannot be reached, e.g. because it is located in an area with no digital mapping. In addition, information

about the direction and distance to the destination is shown on the screen.

During dynamic route guidance, you receive information about reported traffic disruptions on the route. An additional

navigation announcement is given if the route is recalculated due to a traffic disruption or changed driving style

(→ Navigation).

The volume of a navigation announcement can be adjusted or muted while the announcement is playing. All other

navigation announcements will be at this volume setting or will be muted.

Navigation announcements are not output when the Infotainment system is

muted.

Limitations of the navigation function

If the Infotainment system cannot receive any data fromGPS

satellites, e.g. in a tunnel, navigation can still continue using the vehicle sensors.

In areas that are not or only partially digitised in the Infotainment system's memory, the Infotainment system also

385

tries to enable route guidance.

If navigation data are unavailable or incomplete, the navigation system may be unable to determine the exact vehicle

position. As a result, the navigation may not be as exact as usual.

Road layouts are subject to continuous change, e.g. due to road works. If the navigation data is out of date, errors or

inaccuracies may occur during route guidance.

Navigation data

388

The Infotainment system has an internal navigation data memory. Depending on the country, the required navigation

data is already pre-installed.

The Infotainment system always requires up-to-date navigation data for you to use route guidance correctly and

make full use of the functions offered.

NOTICE

If you use obsolete data, you may have problems with navigation. Current routes cannot be determined or route

guidance leads to the wrong destination.

● Always keep navigation data up-to-date.

Updating navigation data online

Navigation data for frequently travelled regions is automatically updated in the background when the ignition is

switched on, with an existing Internet connection and valid privacy settings (→ Privacy settings).

1. Switch on the ignition.

2. Check the Internet connection and privacy settings. If necessary, connect to the Internet and select a mode

other than “Offline” (→ Privacy settings).

Navigation data for frequently travelled regions is automatically updated in the background.

The automatic update of navigation data depends on the country and the privacy settings. No update is

carried out in offline mode .

Updating navigation data manually

Current navigation data for larger regions, e.g. Western Europe, can be downloaded from the Internet at

www.volkswagen.com and stored on a suitable USB

data medium (stocked by independent retailers). If you switch off the Infotainment system, installation will be

interrupted and will automatically continue once the unit is switched on again.

1. Download the navigation data and save on aUSB

data medium.

2. Switch on the vehicle's ignition.

3. USB

Connect the data storage device to the Infotainment system while the vehicle is not in motion.

The navigation data for regions that are currently frequently travelled are automatically updated in the

background.

During and after the navigation data is updated, no message appears in the Infotainment

system.

When you update navigation data manually, theUSB

data medium must remain continuously connected. No message is output to indicate that the update has

been completed.

Leave the USB

data storage device connected to the Infotainment system for a few days until the navigation data for

travelled regions has been completely downloaded and installed. Installation takes place automatically in the

background while driving. Otherwise the update procedure will be cancelled.

If you remove the data medium and travel through a new region in offline mode, the navigation data will not be

updated, as there is neither a USB

data storage device nor an Internet connection.
