Tips
The Navigation System is designed to provide you with 
suggested routes in locating addresses, destinations and other 
points of interest.
Changes in street names, construction zones, traffic flow, points 
of interest or other road system changes are beyond the control of 
Audi of America, Inc.
Complete, detailed mapping of lanes, roads, streets, toll roads, 
highways, etc., is not possible, therefore you may encounter 
discrepancies between the mapping and your actual location.
IntroductionGeneralFig. 112  Display: Example of navigation mapThe Audi Navigation System can help you to reach your destination 
without spending a lot of time studying maps.
During the trip you will receive information on vehicle location, 
in structions for turning (directio n and dis tance to  turn-off), p resen t 
distance to destination and estimated time of arrival at destination 
in the Navigation System display 
fig.112 and in the instrument 
cluster display 
page 111, fig.114. In addition you will receive 
navigation prompts in the form of a spoken announcement 
page 112.
There are two possibilities for guide destination:
Route without stopover (Single destination mode)

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.
Navigation route guidanceFig. 113 Navigation: Example of screen in the Navigation System display
Guidance for your route navigation is provided both visually and 
acoustically:
with voice messages 
page 112
through a screen in the Navigation System display 
fig.113 
(
page 112)
through a display in the instrument cluster

If the recommended route is not followed, the system will calcu-
late a new route from the current location.
It is also possible to start the navigation in demo mode 
page 161 for simulation purposes.
