Isn't that pretty much what I just said? 

Perhaps, think it was the way you worded it! Launching a map app is ok but starting nav isn't.

You can't use the VW maps while Google Maps route guidance is running, but you can have VW route guidance running in the AID at the same time as having Google Maps with satellite and traffic running on the main MIB screen. Works quite well actually. At least it does on Android Auto anyway.

I prefer Waze personally.  I like the way you get alerts for speed cameras, police, potholes etc and how it’ll automatically route you around traffic jams rather than just plot the most direct route. Plus the maps are updated frequently. I can’t see why anyone would choose to use the VW Nav if they have CarPlay or AndroidAuto, even allowing for the fact you can’t display third party Nav apps on the AID. The robotic voice of the stock system is jarring too. That said, it’s still better than most stock systems.

I don't bother with the voice, I have mine muted as I don't appreciate the interruption to whatever i'm listening to. I've never used Waze, but what I do find is that having maps displayed between the clocks is much, much easier to follow than having to look across at the MIB screen. Even if it is only the native route guidance.

App Connect showing on the AID would be best of both worlds.

I found Waze a complete pain and much prefer the nav pro in my GTi. If maps are kept up to date along with speed cams then no reason to not use the VW nav.

Waze couldn’t be any easier, you enter your destination and off you go. Are you sure you’ve used Waze?

[mcmaddy]

Yes I'm sure 🤷‍♂️

Is there nothing that can be done with VCDS? i.e. Audi mode.
