The Golf satnav has a mind if it’s own outside built up areas. It will suggest weird diversions (the same ones every time on some routes I use so it’s not to avoid a jam). Knowing the right route I ignore the satnav direction. Inevitably the calculated ETA is then earlier than it was had I followed the satnav. It’s a well known problem on owner sites but there is no apparent solution from VAG.
On long journeys I set the view for a wide area so if it suggests an odd route I can check if it’s appropriate or not. For example it always wants to take me off the M5 southbound to take me via Worcester.
All satnavs have quirks but compared to previous systems I have had (Toyota, TomTom and Garmin) the VW is way worst. And my car’s full official VW name is 1.4 Nav.
I don’t have a Smart phone so I haven’t that option.
