MG4 Trophy Sat Nav activation

What's the satnav like. I'm not sure if I'm imagining it but read somewhere that it was adapted to a left handed drive system and seems a bit wacky and out of sync coming up to roundabouts?
 
I've used the satnav a few times seems alright to me, menus easy enough to use.
Once I have had it show my location about 500meters out. Not had this again.
I did see a post re android auto having the nav on the right and music to it's left. Someone referred to that as being set up for left hand drive, could you be confused with that?
 
AA has the large screen to the right and the small screen to the left on mine - which makes sense; you interact with the one on the right so you want that to be bigger. If I tap the small section then the two sections swap position - e.g. media comes to the right and maps move to the left. Tap again on the left and they swap again.

Thanks. Maybe I am. Not really sure. It was a couple weeks ago I saw that I think and looking for the post but couldn't find it. Can remember it being said as you put it "being set up for LHD" but certain there was something about out of sync at roundabouts. Maybe I'm conflating two posts..
 
So bear with me people, I found what I was asking about. It was in a YouTube Mg4 review comment section. I have just taken a screenshot and added for convenience. Does this ring true?

Ok shall watch for that then, can't say I have noticed it, wonder what it does? Does it count exits anticlockwise or show incorrect indication of the roundabout on the graphics? Could you maybe share the you tube link?
 
The comment is buried somewhere in the comments section. It was an owners own thoughts on the car.

I don't actually understand how this is for left hand drive looks fine to me, maybe it's different on more complex roundabouts or something.
The satnav is fine.

Though with android auto and carplay there are plenty of decent satnav apps without the onboard one.
NOTE that android auto doesn't project turn instructions onto the drivers screen (the 2nd photo)

Looks fine to me. I never did understand what the person was meaning hence I asked on here.

Quiite like how on display it says 9 o clock to the left 😁

Have pal that 2nd, 3rd or 4tg exit always confuses as he somehow messes up the count lol

Thanks Oberoi. Loving the MG4 more everyday. Sometimes March seems so far away then when I think of all the issues it seems so close.

Hope MG sort things out ASAP for all.

It was car play that I had remembered a post referencing LHD settings, here it is so nothing to do with android auto.

MG4 Carplay RHD Setting?

I have my new MG4 - everything is perfect - sorted out all the pings and bongs to my liking - and I could not be happier. However - CarPlay on my infotainment display is shown in LHD format (menu on the passenger side). On my previous MG ZS it was always on the RHD side - making it closer to...

Hi Sue, many thanks for your swift reply and yep we did. Whenever we checked any of those boxes (or all) it was impossible to press Agree button (inactive).
Pressing Deny button, in any case, was active, and takes you to a message saying related functions being denied....so, impossible to proceed if any of the boxes was checked for agreement. Either it is a system error, or the car dealer did not enable certain functionalities, I guess.
Waiting for the car dealer to respond to my email...will let you know the outcome.

I’ve just figured it out as mine done the same, if you’re swipe to the left where it says accept, it scrolls itsself down, very odd but then you cba check all three boxes

So at that stage, swipe left or right on the text and you will see the boxes come up that people are talking about - its odd, but if you swipe at the bottom it will come up and then you can agree

It's a little potty, but having accepted permissions in Privacy section of Settings, scroll the page down further and check boxes appear below the current screen. Well hidden!
There you will be able to enable voice and sat navigation.

After many frustrating attempts to activate the nav, I followed your guidance, and it’s now enabled and running. Thank you for your help, much appreciated.
 
Just got mine today and needed to go straight away so handover wasn't the best to say the least.
Thanks to all here. Got the sat nav sorted and the phone binded thanks to you all!
