Map updates with MapCare
Volvo Sensus Navigation remote updates can be done directly to the vehicle through a cell phoneInternet connection or from a computer with aUSB flash drive.
General update informationThe system's maps are divided into a number of fixed regions. When updates are done, it is notnecessary to update all of the regions at thesame time but instead can be done for a specificregion or several regions. One or several regions can be updated from the vehicle's Internet connection. However, for majorupdates, a computer and a USB flash drive arerecommended. If an itinerary covers several regions, they should all have the same version number to enable thesystem to calculate the best route to the destina-tion(s).
Updating the map structureChanging the map structure may sometimes benecessary, e.g., if a region is added or if a largeregion is divided into smaller ones. If this is thecase, normal updates may not be possible and amessage will be displayed explaining what hashappened. In this situation, the entire map must be reinstal- led from a USB flash drive. For additional infor-mation, contact a Volvo retailer.
Updating navigation system softwareIn addition to the maps, the system's software isbeing steadily developed and has to be updatedoccasionally. This may mean that newly downloa-ded map information may not be supported bythe navigation system's software. If this happens,a message will be displayed indicating that thesoftware needs to be updated. This can be doneby a Volvo retailer or from a USB flash drive. See the section "Software version" in the article "System settings."
Updates from the vehicle's Internet
connection or from a USB flash drive

After being transported, the vehicle's location on the map is not correct
If the vehicle has been transported (e.g., on a ferry or train) where GPS signals have beenblocked, it may take up to 5 minutes before itslocation will be shown correctly.
The car symbol moves erratically after
new tires have been installed
In addition to GPS signals, the navigation systemalso uses the speedometer and a gyroscopicsensor to calculate the vehicle's current locationand speed. If e.g., a spare tire or snow tires havebeen installed, the system has to "learn" the newtire dimensions. To do so, drive for a short periodon a road with unobstructed GPS reception.
The map does not correspond to actual road conditions
Due to road changes/additions/rerouting/newtraffic regulations, the map database may not beup-to-date. The database is continuously beingupdated. Consult your Volvo retailer.
The car symbol jumps forward or spinsBefore you begin to drive, the system may needseveral seconds to determine the vehicle's loca-tion. Switch off the navigation system and the ignition.Restart but remain at a standstill for a minute orso before driving.
