Changing options on the car? (Sat Nav - Is it worth it?)

[domrees]

Practice your cycling skills. Cars make our body like jelly. Would you like to pay your hard-earned money to become...overweight? Nope. If you're afraid of  getting in a really bad situation, just buy the cheapest car you can find. As for the "great things" the GTI gives (spirited driving etc), come on...bodies are for exercising them. Watch your waistline instead, it's safer and its called living.

On a more serious level, sat navs are a valid and enjoyable part of the ownership experience. Yes it's not driving but that is multi faceted and it is easy to reduce these different facets if you wanted to.

And it's your opinion too. As I've mentioned, everyone to its own. But orientational skills are a basic to allow someone to drive. If you can't understand where you're going, don't go at all. It's safer for the rest of the drivers in case you matter not only for yourself.

Of course we are not going to exchange bad words because VW chose to have so many extras. They make BIG money out of it and I don't think we should "fight" over them. Cheers

I do find it amusing when people rely on Sat Nav to get them places so much.  I know a few people who use it to get to places they have been many times before.  I guess it comes down to the type of person you are.  I like the big screen but will rarely use the nav itself so I'm happy with the £30 TomTom app for my Android phone when I'm stuck or going to a new place.

Also while we're on the subject you can get a free SatNav app called Waze.  Recently acquired by Google so expect big things...

4. Nav Pro has the ability to enter Speed Cameras (as I have done), just like a Tom Tom (albeit just a visual not audible warning).

Does the Discover Nav give you speed camera warnings or is it just the Nav Pro?

I am talking about the default settings, not the ability to enter new ones; I would be quite disappointed if the Discover Nav I ordered didn't warn me about cameras, that would almost be a deal breaker when buying a car which by definition I am going to be driving fast.

On the changing your order front: As long as your tracker is still on 'With Factory', you can change with no problem. I recently added PP, and it's just updated the same order number.

Gina - Do you mean by 'updated' that the Tracker shows options ordered on your car?

The tracker will show "GTI Performance" as they class it as a different model to the non PP car but it'll never show your options.

This thread just made me think - I nearly specced the satnav before realising there are no maps of Cyprus on it, lol!
