Hi guys!

What's a real difference between those two navi systems?

I would choose Amundsen over Columbus because:

I don't need DVD player.

Amundsen can stream movies to up to 2 tablets and Columbus can't.

I could easily survive with 2.5D view instead of 3D one.

Amundsen is updating maps via SD card and therefore can't update online but maps are updated twice a year so manual work would not be so hard.

There is no Google Maps/Street View but I could always use my smartphone.

And Amundsen can use 3g carstick to connect to Internet w/o using smartphone as a hotspot.

What else does Columbus have that Amundsen doesn't? For a such a huge price.

Does anybody know the price of Amundsen Internet carstick?

I believe Columbus runs a bit faster than Amundsen

It also has an inbuilt 64gb flash drive

All reviews are testing Columbus.

Good question; what are the differences between Amundsen and Columbus ?

 

There is such little information right now...

Columbus will have 9.2" in the near future and it currently has:

- 3D maps (Amundsen has 2.5D)

- online maps update (Amundsen has SD card that is updated on computer)

- fully functional window in window

- internal 64 GB SSD drive

- 2 free SD card slots

- Google Maps and Street View

- option to include LTE module with SIM slot and RSAP

9.2" ?!  But for now both Columbus and Admunsen have 8.0", right?

 

What is the difference between 2.5D and 3D?

 

Is there a videolink perhaps?

Scout and Sportsline are already mentioning 9.2" display. It may be offered from week 22 on.

 

2.5D is probably 2D viewed in birds view that looks like 3D.

Just noticed that in the U/K and Skoda global website visualisers show the new 9.2 inch Columbus (without knobs) but worryingly the U/K car configerator only shows the 6.5inch one. 

The 3D configurator is broken and the global visualiser has had the 9.2" for a long time

I thought the 9.2" was from Week 22 onwards?

 

Funnily enough, the last I heard I had build week 22, but knowing my luck they will bring it forward a week

Ummmm  0.5D 

Ah I see, so not an awful lot then? 

I've made a video of 9.2" Columbus playing a cartoon: https://youtu.be/RBCAyYS0TzQ

Amundsen is good, Columbus is better. The end. 

Even Bolero is... Amundsen is just Bolero with Nav afaik. 

Hello,

 

I saw some Columbus and Amudsen hu on ebay. But they are for skoda Octavia. Would it be different for a Yeti?

 

Also sellers mentioned about a PIN included. Would it work for my Yeti?

 

Thank you

You're asking the question in the Kodiaq section, the head units for the Kodiaq and the Yeti are very different, so probably better asking in the Yeti forum.

 

Oh dear.. I did not notice. I'm sorry!
