I had high hopes that the Passat would have the same system adjusted (within limits - govt would prolly ban speed cam warning so as not to cut into their revenue stream) for Australia.

That said, my step-dad (Passat driver for nearly 20 years) is also not fond of the VW satnav and put in an alternative unit which he says is far superior. Should have run them side by side when I sat in the car with him but didn't think of it. But that may answer my question about whether VW and Audi use the same tech.
Possibly is the mapping that is different here The instructions compared to my Tomtom 730 are pitiful.
Doesnt tell you the street you are turning into Just says "turn left now" and frequently up to 50 mtres before it should. Isnt as good at routing as the Tomtom either Went from Northside to Forest Lake a few weeks ago and it did a big circle on the motorway after turning off the Gateway Didnt know the route but ended up back where we were originally but went through extra toll gates whilst doing it..Not impressed at all for the price.

As ours doesnt have "Live traffic" it wont advise you of adverse conditions.

Some Tomtom models have it but you have to pay for it.

Had it on the Tomtom I used in USA a couple of months ago and it was brilliant when it was busy and was free with the model I had.
