Navigation-alternative routes?

Is there any way to get the built-in sat nav to show alternative routes to the destination (eg fastest, shortest, eco etc). It seems to only show what I assume is the fastest.? Also can the Connect App show/use alternative routes? Cheers.

Not sure if it is a settings thing but quite often my satnav offers two or three options with the expected travel time.
If I touch the time box on the route - it selects that route.

Just use Google maps or Waze!
I think there's a general feeling that after paying 30-40k for a car, one should be able to use the in-car tech. And that tech should be comparable to the tech from cars within the last 10/15 years.

It's as standard in the uk
Not in Germany. Got VZ e-Hybrid and I hate every moment with that car. Sadly, dealers are offering very low price for this car, otherwise I would have sold it months ago. I talked with Cupra Official, and they lied to me, told me that car had Full Link. Later on they told me this car doesn't have it. After buying the car I spoke with several Cupra specialist services and most of them told me that Full Link is not available on this car, and cannot be retrofitted, and some others say it is a known software issue and could be solved via next update, but since May no solution.

I am still thinking about going to court for this but I don't know if that can do something or not.

t did not send the chosen route to the car
It does [for me], but not in a timely manner. I've had notifications pop up the day after I've sent them to the car. It's pretty pathetic, frankly.

Because the built-in SatNav is so bad with UK postcodes, I went to the trouble of putting a load of favourites in the app, then refreshed. About half of them ended up in the car, some of them were mangled, then they proceeded to disappear over a period of days.

In fact, I can replicate nine times out of 10 the error people are talking about over here just by sending something to the car from the app.

It did send a route to the car but not the one I chose 🤣

:rolleyes:

I haven't used it since it popped up the same route on my screen five days on the trot. Ridiculous.
Mine did that lol! Same here, haven't used it since. In fact the last time I tried to use the sat nav, it didn't recognise the postcode I entered, so ended up just using Google (on my phone though as the car wouldn't pick up android auto). Unfortunately nothing surprises me with this car anymore, you kind of just grow to expect things to not work properly.

Yep, that's also broken and wasn't fixed by the recent update to 1898 for me, either. You can't navigate to a contact's address because it won't recognise a postcode and throws an error.
Mine wasn't even trying to navigate to a contact, it was simply entering the postcode into the search destination screen. It wasn't a new area or anything like that, and Google took me straight there so it's clearly possible.

I have the same problem. There’s a thread around here somewhere about it.

For me, it’ll recognise the first six characters of the postcode - including a space - but ignore everything after that.

If I try to navigate to a contact, I’ll get an error, but removing the last two characters of the postcode will work (sort of). It’s all a bit pathetic.
