I am generally impressed with the HUD function. However, I notice that when approaching an exit on a dual carriageway or motorway, where there is a separate lane for the exit, the HUD indicates to change lane to the right, rather than to the left. Quite misleading.

I wonder if this has been overlooked as this is a car developed for driving on the right and adapted for UK use?

I’ll need to have a look. I’ve only been using Apple Maps and not noticed what you described.

I've noticed this in other in built nav systems for Hyundai as well as my ID7 - some of the data for lane requirements are way off. I don't think it's a specific VAG issue, more a problem with any open-source data used to build the platform perhaps. That said, you have to have your wits about you or you could end up with a huge detour. Not that i speak from experience, of course...
