Waze is better in every way (but also owned by Google....)

VW Nav is like using a 14th century map with "here be sea monsters" written on it.

Google maps is good when what you want to search for is a tourist attraction or shop or something that you dont have the address for - eg Dominos in Grimsby
Current: Mk8 GTI DSG, Adelaides, DCC, HUD, HK, Winter Pack, Rear Camera.. Aka "HMS Weasel"

Gone: 2017 Mk7.5 GTD,manual, NavPro
Gone: 2014 Mk7 GTD, manual, NavPro, DCC

Thanks all. Tried the Waze, but had to turn it off after a few minutes, couldnt stand the American accent and the distance in KMs
Got home and turned the accent the English and the distance to miles. Will give it another go this week
