Volkswagen Navigation System Gets Updated

The latest offering from Volkswagen Accessories comes to relief drivers from the burden of getting behind the wheel and head to new destinations. In order for a navigation system to always provide the right route to a certain destination, the roadmaps need to be updated on a regular basis.

The Volkswagen Genuine navigation DVDs "Western Europe" and "Eastern Europe" (V6.1) reportedly contain all of the latest map data. The integrated Virtual Car Assistant (VCA) guides the driver through the operating menu.

The navigation updates are intended for the Volkswagen Genuine radio navigation system RNS 510. Customers using the RNS 510 can "feel safer and more relaxed", as the latest data contains new roads throughout Europa as well as additional addresses for service stations, restaurants, hotels and a variety of points of interest.

The updated version for Western Europe contains 26 countries and covers more than eight million kilometers of roads and more than two million points of interest. The DVD update for Eastern Europe covers 33 countries, more than five million kilometers of roads and more than one million points of interest.

The Volkswagen Genuine navigation DVDs "Western Europe" and "Eastern Europe" V6.1 for the Volkswagen Genuine radio navigation system, RNS 510, are now available from all Volkswagen partners and in the Volkswagen Accessories e-shop (only for German customers).

For those hooked on their navigation system, last year, Volkswagen Accessories also launched the iPod adapter which connects iPods with the latest generation of Volkswagen Genuine car radios or radio-navigation systems, which are then used for control or audio output.
