vw sat nav utter rubish
« on: October 27, 2012, 03:34:50 pm »
I have to say I wasn't  expecting the sat nav in m 10 plate golf to be this bad.post code search is a joke. Maps maybe old but this is very poor compared to ford system or even as tom tom

Agree with Joe. Mine has worked impeccably even in the darkest depths of Dartmoor and the Lake District.

My mk6 came with a rns510 and I use a tomtom in the works van everyday of the week and have done for the last 5/6 years, I was amazed how good the vw rns510 is clear screen, well lit both night and day, easy to use, good poi's, I love the way the directions are on the dash aswell. Prefer it over the tomtom which can often throw a wobbly! tomtom hd traffic is good though.

I had always read in magazines that factory fitted sat navs were'nt worth the money you should go for aftermarket units like tomtom etc, but I recommend the vw system!! (especially good value as a retro fit)  I only wish I used my car to go to more places that I didn't know so I could use the satnav more!

when i bought the car it would only do a three digit post code , seemed poor but worked ok once id got it goin ....Then vw replaced the unit due to a cd fault , it came back fresh and could perform a full post code input to my home adress, happy days i thought ....So now i need it for work it seems it doesnt want to find any post codes or even local towns....Reading things on the net it seems im not the only one to have problems ..
