Asked as part of another thread, but hoping to get more eyes on the question here:

Is there a way to get the nav to say the street names and not county or route numbers? The street name appears in the directions in the gauge cluster, but the system announces things like "turn right on county road 74".

Since the VW Nav unit is Garmin based the maps are produced by "HERE".
Nothing you can do to alter the street names.
It's the same on both my Garmin stand alone GPS's.

I had a different but similar problem with my wife's new Hyundai. Like you some of the streets here have multiple names. Hers wants to call out all of them, not just one.

Can we assume that she has only ONE map in the system. I have heard of people having problems in Florida if they have the North America map and a map of the Caribbean installed. That can/will cause strange behaviour.
But that is in a stand alone Garmin with the secondary map on a SD card.
