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.

Advanced navigation settings: Demo mode and manual location
x In the Advanced navigation settings menu, check the check box in the Demo mode function key by pressing it = to start virtual route guidance to the entered destination.
x Press the Enter current position manually function key to select a manual location in the same way you entered a destination
If demo mode is enabled an additional pop-up window opens when you start route guidance.
x Pressing the Demo mode function key starts a “virtual route guidance” to the destination you have entered.
x If you press the Normal mode function key, a “real route guidance” starts.
The sequence of events and the operations in virtual route guidance are similar to those in real route guidance. Once a manual location has been entered, the virtual route guidance starts from that position.
Virtual route guidance is repeated when you reach the fictitious destination and always starts again from the starting point if it is interrupted.
When real route guidance is started following route guidance in demo mode, the unit first has to reori-ent itself. Depending on the number of currently received satellites, this orientation may take some time. Vehicle movement can reduce the re-orientation time.
If the vehicle is moved and the unit can determine its current location by GPS, any manually entered location will be overwritten with the current vehicle location.
Disable demo mode after use, otherwise you will be prompted to choose between virtual and normal route guidance each time you start route guidance.
