I would like to ask a more generic question - why so many people prefer/want/so obsessed with car built in SatNav?
The navigation quality of any decent external SatNav (Garmin etc) is usually superior and an external one can be updated by connecting to a PC (easy).
Never mind the built in one costs a lot more.
The only advantage I see - no wires for built in. Is that it?
What is the thinking?
Tricky one. The Infotainment/SatNav screen is higher positioned on the DS compared to Evoque, so is less distracting - a plus point. It's also 'standard' in the DS SE Tech upwards, not an option.
I love the NEW built in SD operated SatNav, I like that it speaks that you are over the designated speed limit (and is configurable). it's only downside being the lack of safety camera POIs (though I gather that it may be possible to download them to PC from a third part site, copy to a stick and then upload into the Sat Nav? ( Can anybody confirm this, and the best options?).
My old Garmin SAtNav from the FL2 GS (GS didn't have SatNav) did a good job, was hard wired into the central dash cubby, and was a beautiful fit and fully kitted out with Lifetime Maps, Traffic and a Safety Camera subscription. I've kept this and found it to be a great fit in the DS central cupholder aperture in front of the centre armrest, and powered by the socket inside the armrest cubby. I cover it with a cloth when leaving the car. This lets me have my camera warnings at all times, but use the in-dash SatNav for routing etc.
