Map updating
MapCare is a free map update service for
Volvo vehicles equipped with Sensus Naviga- tion *.
General update informationMap updates can be done 2-12 times per year (depending on market). There are two ways to update maps. Either via a computer and USB flash drive or directly from the vehicle 24
(if the vehicle has an Inter-
net connection). The vehicle's map is divided into a number of fixed regions. When updating map data, thedriver does not need to update all of theseregions, but can instead choose to update onlyone or more specific regions. One or more regions can be updated when the vehicle has an Internet connection. However,updating a large number of regions or theentire map requires a significant amount ofdata, and it may be advisable to use a com-puter and USB flash drive instead.
NOTE
If an itinerary includes more than one region, all regions should have the sameversion number to enable the system tocalculate the best route to the destination.
Updating the map structureChanging the map structure may sometimes be necessary, e.g., if a region is added or if alarge region is divided into smaller ones. If thisis the case, normal updates of individualregions may not be possible and a messagewill be displayed explaining what has hap-pened. In this situation, the entire map must be rein- stalled from a USB flash drive. For additionalinformation, search for support information onvolvocars.com or contact a Volvo retailer.
Updating navigation system softwareIn addition to maps, the navigation system's own software is under constant development and needs to be updated occasionally. Thiscould mean that a recently downloaded mapis not supported by the current navigation sys-tem software. In such cases, a message will be displayed indicating that the navigation system software must be updated. Consult aVolvo retailer for assistance with the update.
