Updating satnav maps

Don't you have to talk to it to setup your own short or long voice commands Says so in my manual

I too wonder why they don't just use one of the comercial sat nav providers who do it better. No doubt it's a cost factor, though you can't help wondering how much it costs a car maker to come up with even a so-so system and if that's really cheaper.

I use my old TomTom up on the dash in the right corner - it has speed warning beeps and is good for a road bend indication almost in line of site. The cars unit I zoom out as an overalll indicator of where I am.

Its not the maps that are the trouble. Its what VW or whoever builds the operating system for the unit does with them.
They get them and then adapt them to the system BADLY. IF they just used a Tomtom system or a Garmin all would be well.

Mazda now have a Tomtom in their cars.
