The new DVD-based systems which Audi are fitting are no longer Travel
Pilots. In fact, they're not even manufactured by Blaupunkt, but by a
Japanese company called Aisin. A single map disc covers the whole of
/Western/ Europe. So, for instance, I can set a route from home (in the
UK) to a street/house number in Italy.

Yes, it is possible to set up to three stop-overs.
The good news is that it is possible to retro-fit the new system into
most recent model Audis. For instance, I have replaced the old CD-based
Nav plus in my RS6 with one of the new units.

In the DVD based RNS-E:
Can anyone tell me whether it's possible to nail the display with North
Up? I find I can set it there temporarily both from the display setting
and also from the Setup button, but the display still flips back to
direction up at the next opportunity. Is there somewhere to make a more
permanent option setting for that and then have it really stick?

Ohhh - that sounds interesting - do please tell us more. Does
the new DVD unit come with the TV / Teletext tuner as well? Was
it a dealer fit, or did you DIY?

Okay - units are frequently available on ebay, but there are other
sources.
> Does the new DVD unit come with the TV / Teletext tuner as well?
No, the TV tuner is a separate unit, similar, but not identical, to the
TV tuner for the older CD-based Nav+. This means that if you have the
old unit with TV, as I did, you also need to change the TV tuner.
> Was it a dealer fit, or did you DIY?
I don't know of any dealer who would be prepared to undertake this. I
did it all myself, but if you don't feel confident, there are some
individuals around who will do the fitting.
I spent around £900 sourcing all the bits, and recouped much of that by
selling my old CD-based system for £450.
