Hi, I'm new to the forum, so forgive me if I screw up. I've been getting the official run-around about my 2014 Touareg's NAV system that doesn't display cross streets as you drive, regardless of the range. VW's official conclusion (after 3 weeks) is to get a $526 update! An insane price and the only way to update a 2011-2014 Touareg is through a VW dealer installation. I spent time on the phone with "HERE" Nav systems and they say they deliver map data that includes all the road names. VW controls how it's processed. Hence the run around. An update seems to be an updated version of the same problem for over $500. I love my car, but the Nav is driving me nuts. You can buy a fabulous GPS for $129 at COSTCO. Does anyone have any advice?

We use our google maps on our phones if the built in nav doesn't work.
The OEM also doesn't find cities when you search sometimes. We HAVE to input the zip code instead of searching but we love the head unit otherwise so we are not upgrading that. We just don't always use the nav.

Mine is from 2013. The important thing to remember is that in 4 years the roads tend to change a bit. I abandoned the idea of OEM navigation a long time ago.
The answer is easy: Waze. It also tells you about the police... only God knows how many times Waze has saved my license (and wallet). It's also free.
