    Yeah - this is what I don't get. It's not just VW with this issue, it's pretty much every major car company with their built in GPS. Why is it that they're getting a far inferior "selection of streets" than the portable GPS manufacturers?

    this is the main reason i decided not to add the sat nav system in my car. The tom tom does a great job and fits neatly under the dash.
    It is sad what you get for all that money, and like mentioned, its not just VW

    Don't get me wrong, the RNS510 is more than just sat nav, and I will be getting it anyway. In my MKV GTI I had the old DVD based navigation unit and although it wasn't as detailed as the portable units, it's much more convenient and looks much nicer than having a portable unit around. I think portable units look WAY out of place in any quality car...
