Hi Philbes, maybe, but seems an odd route to highlight thanks

Hi AG, No, the roads are shown grey in day mode, and they only show from time to time…..I am trying to understand what it is telling me about them. One of the roads I know quite well and am not/was not aware of any problems on it. thanks

Hi All, I've a question about the highlighting/colours of the roads show on the Satnav maps.....I've hunted high and low and even asked at my local Skoda dealer but not got an answer. System working fine and connected to mobile data (World globe shows white) ,,,,,,some roads are shown as grey from time to time.......what does it indicate? Thanks RC507

Hi John, Yes I do have Skoda connect, on the main screen there is a little globe icon, it is normally showing red, however I've recently worked out how tp connect my iphone and can get it to show white. It is a bit of a faff as I have to turn on personal hotspot each time I get into the car (it doesn't grab it automatically ....so far) , but to get functionality of this there is an annual license fee of £45-50 The functions within it and pretty worthless and of little value to me ......I don't really need to know my mpg or service status when I'm not it the car....... So currently my license has expired and whilst I can link to my WLAN setting, it doesn't look like I am getting the functions I am looking for ........my feeling about the chargeable functionality isn't "Simply Smart" ......but "Simply rip off" I'm currently waiting for my local Skoda sealer and Skoda UK Customer services to tell me that this functionality only comes at a cost......but intriguingly even ofter months of checks and multiple emails ......they don't seem to know what you are advising above. What does AKAIK mean? Thanks for your help so far!

Hi Johnh510, Thanks for you reply. I have TMC as one of my side buttons on the Satnav system, and it is active and shows up big stuff on the national network of roads. I can receive FM and Classic, and also DAB albeit a bit patchy. It does not show up local or A road congestion (which the other sources do), so the only time I find out about them, is when I'm sat in them! I thought that my Amundsen system was virtually the same as my previous VW Discover nav system (on a 17-18 plate MK7 facelift Golf), which had this display feature. It remains unclear to me where the traffic updates are fed from......but I had assumed it should be fed piggy backed from the phone or via a plugged in SIM. I didn't buy the car new, got it 6 months old, so never got a dealer handover, however I've had it back to my local dealership (100 mile round trip) several times, where they've re-loaded software, been in though with Skoda technical, but so far not come back to say either ....sorry this feature is not supported ....or yes it should work and here is the fix. The last tech interrogation was only last week, so I'm waiting to see what they come up with Thanks for your help so far and the links, (I'll read them a little later when I've got a bit more time)

Hello Skoda Group, I've just signed up tonight as I've a long standing small problem with my Amundsen nav system.......getting expert help has, shall I say been difficult to find....from either my local dealer (who is trying....in many senses of the word) and Skoda customer services.....this is the biggest misnomer ever. Anyway I digress I have full functionality of the system for navigation with the exception it does not show "local" traffic hold ups/delays .....ie I do not get little red lines along the road I am travelling. (TMC function works OK, but this tends to be national roads systems news) I've previously owned a MK7 Golf with the same system (Discover in VW range) , my daughter has a Kodiaq with Amundsen, I've access to a BMW with full sat nav and my good old trust google maps on my iphone........all these systems display local traffic problems. Anybody had similar problems and do have a solution? Thanks
