Robert Fredley asked yesterday about the Audi navigation system and what it looked like. Here's a picture:

I thought I had seen this picture in the Lewandowski book <i>The TT Story</i> but it was actually in the December 1999 issue of Audi Magazine.

Some interesting information in the article:

In Europe, half of all A8s have Navigation
GPS is supplemented by ABS sensors to increase accuracy
Can choose between "shortest distance" or "fastest route"
Voice output tells you of upcoming turns
Nine regional CDs for the US and two for Canada
Available in all Audi models for MY 2000


Hope people find this info useful.
