Navigation address missing

I find that when searching for a destination by name, if the address is not shown the driving directions may be seriously incorrect. Here is an example of searching for a city park by name and finding multiple alternatives, two of which have no street number and name:

This is a fairly large park and has multiple access points and parking lots, so the correct destination must be selected. If you select one without a street name and number, the directions are not right from my experience.

Navigation map view options

There are three different views for the map when using the built in navigation. Change the current view by pressing on the North symbol on the map (circle with the "N" in the middle):

 

Notice the small arrow in the circle surrounding the "N", which indicates the direction of North (North up view at left and Course view at right):

The three views are:

1. North up (the view does not rotate as the car moves and the arrow shows the direction of the car)
2. Course up (the direction the car moves is always pointed up and the view rotates)
3. Perspective (the view looks like the map is titled)

North up

With the North Up view, there is a very small arrow at the top of the North symbol showing that North is up:

Course Up

Int eh course up view the direction of the North symbol now rotates and show which way is North and the car is always traveling "up":

Perspective

In the perspective view there is a "tilt" to the map so you get the sense that you are looking across the map spread on a table. It is a course up view:

Pick a view that best suits your driving preference!

Navigation error routes through restricted street

Navigating to a public street address the system directions routed me through a city park streets that are not accessible to the public (the destination is 500 feet in front of the current position on the street driving on, yet directions show going around the park to the other side and driving through the park):

The entrance to the park shows no public access:

Apple, Google and Bing maps do not route through the park (there is public street running vertically where the blue line is):

Anyone else observe this behavior?

Navigation error left turn replaced with u-turn

On a recent drive I noticed that the directions called for a right turn and then an immediate u-turn. The funny thing is that a left turn was possible at this "T" intersection:

This is actually two errors:

1. A left is allowed at this T style intersection

2. A U-turn is not allowed after this intersection

Filter charging stations in Navigation

The VW Navigation for routes and driving directions may be setup to add charger stops as needed. The setup includes options to:

1. Include or not include charging stops

2. Select the speed of chargers considered for stops

3. Specify whether only currently available chargers should be included

4. Turn on or off Electrify America chargers

5. Display range in the navigation map

The question is where to find and change these settings based on your preference?

From settings

Open settings using the 8 dots at the left and select Navigation:

In the navigation screen click into the gear to open settings:

Now open the Route Options:

In the route options screen click into the charging stations settings:

Finally set the range options to determine when to charge and whether EA should be the only stations shown (if blue slider as shown below, only EA stations):

Other options to filter by the charging power rating can be selected for a specific route, as shown below.

From the map view and destination search

Start by opening the maps in Navigation and then click into the three lines to adjust the settings:

If you are already entering a destination by either selecting a past one or entering an address, etc. As the destination is entered and confirmed, click into the three lines for settings before the route is "Started":

A series of options are provided related to the route such as volume for voice prompts, AM/PM display colors and brightness, and determination of charging stops. Click into the "Charging Stations" plug and gear icon to select charging stations based on criteria: 

The criteria to filter charging stations includes:

1. The kilowatt hour charging rate (all, greater than 50kw or greater than 100 kW)

2. Show only charging stations that are available or show all irrespective of current availability

3. Include only Electrify America/Canada stations (the blue bar indicates show only EA stations)

VW ID.4 home and work addresses

 If your dealer setup your home and work address for Navigation and you need to edit them, finding that setting may be a challenge. I will show you where those settings may be edited.

From the Main menu, select Settings (you may need to swipe to the right), then Configuration:

Now the guided setup menu is displayed, which is intended to setup multiple options, so just select the navigation address settings:

Now the home or work address may be selected and edited using the current location or by entering an address:

Done!
