Navigational (global Positioning System) Gps Problems of Volkswagen Atlas

Gps/navigation/sos/roadside assistance - sos system logs as "deactivated" and vehicle thinks it is 2 states away from my current location. In case of an accident, emergency, or other safety issue, the sos system would, unbeknownst to an operator, not be able to locate the vehicle and/or notify emergency services. When you get into the vehicle, it does not let you know that the sos function is deactivated (only once you "test" the system to do you become aware that the feature is not functioning). When the vehicle erroneously believes that it is "off road" it shuts the adas features off until it thinks you are back "on" the road. The vehicle has been seen by the dealership twice and multiple calls have been placed to vw. No known fixes.

Gps navigation that is built in constantly freezes and or is close to 8-9 miles off course. Will also guide you to the complete opposite direction as you need to travel. In the past 6 months, the vehicle has been back to the dealer 5-6 times for this issue, for the past two months is have been at the dealer for close to 5 weeks, they try to reprogram, replace modules still no fix. It is a serious issue, since you cannot securely navigate, the system will tell you to make a u turn on a freeway, to drive over a lake and or farmland. Seems a lot of people have issues with this and there need to be a safety recall. I do have plenty of movies that will show the lockup and or the completely erratic behavior but they are all over the size limit.

Navigation system (gps) does not show correct location and 'reroutes' off the correct path. This could lead to dangerous conditions if using in an unfamiliar location (which is the point of having a navigation system). Navigation system has suggested turning wrong direction onto one-way street, turning into rivers and lakes, making u-turn on expressway, and driving through private property.

The gps in the vehicle navigation shows an inaccurate location of the vehicle, which causes problems for adaptive cruise, and vehicle safety notifications on the dash. Incorrect speed limit indicators occur as a result, and vehicle navigation is rendered useless. It looks ridiculous to all passengers as the vehicle will show on gps somewhere it isn’t, even driving through fields where there are now roads. Problem is intermittent and can last for days or minutes at a time. Known problem on the 2021 as well as more recent models of the vehicle.

Vehicle nav often looses location, and sets location miles off from where the vehicle was while in motion. Car net often says that it's not registered when it is, timezones switch to completely different parts of the country and driver assistance features deactivate when the gps looses it's location. Vehicle has been to dealer three times for these issues, the first time software was updated, but issues persisted. The second time was to diagnose that it was a car net module problem with an extended backorder. The third time was to replace the car net module, which the technician had problems trying to program and was eventually successful, but two days later the problems arose again.

I have been having issues with gps navigation with my car for over a year without a fix from vw. I cannot use google maps, apple maps or the car's own internal maps becuase the gps can't identify where I am on the map. When I choose a location and start directions, it doesn't know where I am, telling me to turn down wrong streets, showing my location in lakes or miles away. When I unplug my phone from the car, it works just fine. But once I'm connected to my car (either wirelessly or through cable) the gps then works off the car's system which cannot identify my lcoation. This is incredibly dangerous and I'm unable to know where I'm going or it will tell me to turn in the wrong place. Vw is blaming this on verizon and does not have a fix. I'm left without a working gps for well over a year.
