If your car has the built in sat nav then yes it can be displayed on the active info display. It cannot be displayed on both screens at the same time. If you are using android auto or car play and using map apps there, they cannot be displayed on the active info display.mackimudo wrote: Sat May 25, 2019 4:20 pm Hi guys, first post here! I'm getting a pre-reg GTI+ next week, but I was wondering if when you're using the car-net's maps as a sat-nav, if it can be displayed on the Active Info display?
Ah ok, thanks for (both) your replies. Do you know if the built in sat-nav can be retrofitted?l3rady wrote: Sat May 25, 2019 4:37 pmIf your car has the built in sat nav then yes it can be displayed on the active info display.

Not sure but at a £600 addon from the factory, personally I wouldn't bother with it. Mobile app maps are far superior to the VW ones and offer more features IMHO. The screen in the new polo is not too far down and is angled towards the driver so is ideal for navigation. Personally, I prefer using Waze and having it on the main screen so either I or my passenger can control the maps as well as report hazards etc.mackimudo wrote: Sat May 25, 2019 4:39 pmAh ok, thanks for (both) your replies.

That's fair, I was just thinking for the convenience of having the AID showing the navigation right under the eyesight was one of the main draws to it personally, but yeah I agree my experience has always been that Waze is usually the most up to date sat-nav.l3rady wrote: Sat May 25, 2019 4:45 pmNot sure but at a £600 addon from the factory, personally I wouldn't bother with it.

Personally, I don’t get it....proalves wrote: Sat May 25, 2019 5:36 pm I found on youtube a video of the Polo GTI where the navigation appears in both screens I always read that the navigation could only appear in one or the other.
Maybe will be specific of the region and not available in Europe.
One has the map and the other has directions or something else (I can't remember, only had to use the satnav once on the red Polo GTI+). Nav was specced on a locked in build for the red one when I jumped on the unallocated order. I would have never specced it myself.fazzy wrote: Sat May 25, 2019 8:17 pmPersonally, I don’t get it....proalves wrote: Sat May 25, 2019 5:36 pm I found on youtube a video of the Polo GTI where the navigation appears in both screens I always read that the navigation could only appear in one or the other.

Why on earth would you want to have two identical maps on two screens??
Unless someone is squint and one eye watches one screen and the other eye the other screen...
I don’t want the two maps in both screens was just out of curiosity...fazzy wrote: Sat May 25, 2019 8:17 pm Personally, I don’t get it....
