I have attached the bottom half of a screenshot taken from the Volkswagen app. Does anyone know if the phrase “Switch on vehicle to update”, means that the car may not actually be at the position shown?

If things are working correctly, it can't have driven anywhere because then it would have been turned on and updated itself?

Not driven, yes. Taken?

If it was taken on a truck then yes it could have moved. All that screen tells you is that the car was in that location when it last updated the cloud and hasn't updated since. The car stops updating the cloud after a while when not used, presumably to save energy. Mine is currently showing the same because it's at the garage for a new battery module and hasn't moved for a fortnight.
