When using the Sat Nav when I put in a post code it shows it off road with just the longitude and lattitude bearings but no street name . Also on the most used ‘directions map’ does the same thing which makes it useless . Anyway you can update /change to get street / town name ?

Just use Google Maps via CarPlay or Android Auto, as applicable.

It's a known error, there's a thread about it already. https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/threads/sat-nav-questions.463870/ There's no solution for that so far.
Suppose to be fixed now via an update. Dan555 on the second page of the link. Expect the car was shipped with old software that gets updated.

Initially they made a pigs ear of the postcode road look up but they seem to have fixed that with an over the air update. I'm the only one who talks about post code centroids on here if you search 😉. They have it set to the post code centroid. Useful for geo information systems (GIS) but not so good for navigation. The developers misused the suite of files they were given evidently.

Google isn't great... and not always upto todate. Has it's uses thou 😉. Connected cars are also getting the movement datafeed.
