Is the nav system in the mk VII an upgrade over the mark VI? The mk 6 has the RNS-315, larger VWs have the RNS-510, which is better. What's does the mk 7 have. Anyone know?

Thank you, but that's not what I asked.They are both clunky. I have never used either.
My passenger posts when/if I have a passenger. If not no posts.I don't know how one can report incidents in waze in a non-distracted state while driving. You could become an incident if you're not careful.
You can search by categories of waypoints, as well as waypoints added from your own collection transferred from an SD card. There are a few tutorials on the web how to do it. .gpx files are supposed to work, I'm just waiting for my car to arrive so I can get at it!Main thing I dislike about the nav is that I haven't found a good way to find something other than by address.
That said, I really like having a built in system, since it means -- no worries about theft, no power cords dangling, no mount either blocking the windshield or an air vent, etc.
Now if only they'd just license the Garmin software it'd be awesome.
I would take that to the dealer and tell them to fix it. I have never seen my unit take more than maybe 15 seconds to calculate a route.. It frequently takes 5+ minutes to calculate a route,
I suspect other users are not as cautious.My passenger posts when/if I have a passenger. If not no posts.
Nav was a stand alone $600 "package" on my Comfortline. Overpriced and not as capable as most Garmin units, but I didn't have to get a bunch of other stuff I didn't want.(To get nav on the Mk7 Golf here in Canada was part of a $2300 package).
