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
For detailed information, see the articles "Remotemap updates" and "Map updates from the com-puter with a USB flash drive."
