yeap had the same problem on my demonstrator a few weeks ago around farnborough. The sat nav maps are complet c**p. For all that money they are years out of date. I was pointed to http://www.navshop.com/directsales/catalog/default.php

but am not sure if the 2006 disks shown are any better ?

does anybody know ?

I have a touareg arrving may/june time and will be interested to see if i
get 2006 disks or the same old rubbish

Has anybody else noticed the use of old postcodes only as well ?

i know, the only one that seems to be pretty up to date is the tom tom

just for your reference, the Satnav in my E61 shows the road (not much help to all you Treg owners, but good for me)

I decided to go with the sat-nav mainly because of the TV option which i will
add later on.

and not so much for its main purpose.

I need a fools guide....cant find where to set up the nav using postcodes!!

maybe i need to fiddle with it more

 

[Tregtech]

there is an software update for the post code issue , to sort it out . Go and ask your nearest dealer about it( Only on touch screen units though)

D

Had my treg since Saturday. Sat nav was not recognizing any post code out of London. Turns out that the version installed during the PI process contained a bug. Updated today with the DVD that i was supplied with and now it all works. Takes about 1/2 hour to copy to the HDD though.

Funny looks in the stealers yesterday though. Told the tech, "Got to go, i've got to be at the House of Lords by 5:30 !". I think he rushed home hoping to see a new treg battering the gates of parliament on Sky News. I dont give off the air of your average peer.

i used the satnav through london to go from beckenham to heathrow at one point she said "turn left" ok but when i looked on the display it showed a right turn

:

:arrow:

:evil:

I turned left but as usual the woman was lost...

So if it happens to you, ignore her and follow the screen.
