    Took my new car for its first long distance run over the weekend - and as a result have a couple of questions if I may.
    I used the "Tour" function of the nav system to create a route with 4 intermediate stopovers before the final destination -which was home. At any one time though the map would only show the current leg. My manual implies that the "overview" map function should show the route to final destination but it did not. My first question is therefore to ask whether there is a setting or mode that I have missed that will show all legs in a multi stopover journey onscreen at the same time? (Hope that makes sense by the way :-))
    My next task is to decide which New Zealand Telco to choose to provide the data sim, and thereby enable the audi connect and google maps etc. My second question is therefore to ask forum members how much data does the system require - say per month? I recognise that there are many variables here around personal usage etc, but any indication of typical values would be most helpful - thanks in advance.
    I should perhaps add that I am delighted with the car, and the choices I made when ordering it in terms of colours, interior and system options. Having noted all the comments in other threads about steering issues, I can say that my MY14 car exhibits none of those issues - thus far anyway (I have the car in "Auto" mode at the moment). The steering is light and lacks feel, but is functional and viceless.

    Hi and welcome - enjoy your fabulous new care.

    I haven't used the tour feature yet, so will jump to question 2 - I have used 980MB of data in 5 weeks - mainly maps but have set up the traffic alerts only in the last week.

    In the UK we have a prepaid 3 network sim card found thanks to this forum and that costs around £15 for 3 months or 3GB, no idea what you have in NZ, but works fine.

    It is all a bit subjective and down to personal use as you say, but I haven't streamed anything whilst using the wifi zone created by the car, the vast majority is google maps.

    Hope that helps a bit.

    All the best

    It does help - thanks Ian. The amount of data is more than I expected to be honest - I will have to look at some of the more data heavy plans ;-)

    Hmmm. That sounds like a lot! I am using a SIM from Vodafone and it provides 500Mb per month data. I never exceed this - even when my daughter uses the car wifi to go online. I never see more than 400Mb used each month when I check the phone account. I'd guess it would be lower if my daughter wasn't in the car. For the last two months it has been averaging around 250Mb per month.

    Cheers!

    You will use more data if you travel around more and download the satellite maps. I only used 500Mb in the first 6 weeks but this doubled with one long trip (admittedly with the kids using the wifi!).

    Thanks b-b :-) If I understand the manual correctly, the system caches up to 2 Gigs of data, so presumably if you stay in your local area you can draw on that cache rather than have to download a refresh (acknowledging that it will not remain current) - I assume you would only have to download again if you travelled up country

    Yes I believe that is correct.
