Navigation -> Introduction for Your 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.
