Your map data DVD includes the continental United States
(excluding Alaska), Hawaii and parts of Canada on a single media
allowing for seamless routing across coverage areas.
Street and city names can be changed. For this reason, there may
be exceptions where the names stored on the DVD do not match the
names that have been changed.
Navigation DVDs can be purchased from an Audi dealer. The
dealer can also provide you with information about navigation DVD
updates.
GPS positioning works in only one direction, i.e. the navigation
system receives data to determine vehicle location, but does not
broadcast data.
