MAP AND SYSTEM INFORMATION
Updating map data with MapCare
MapCare is a map update service for Volvo cars
equipped with Sensus Navigation. The map data
can be updated via the Internet.
General information about updating
Updating can be done direct to the car, using a
mobile phone connection or via a computer using
a USB memory.
The car's map is divided up into a number of pre-
defined regions. When updating map data it is
not necessary to update all the regions - the
driver can choose to only update one or more
specific regions.
One or more regions can be updated over the
car's Internet connection. If a large number of
regions - or the whole map - is to be updated, the
total quantity of map data can be so large that it
is much easier to update via a computer using a
USB memory.
NOTE
If an itinerary stretches over several regions,
all these should have the same version num-
ber. Otherwise there is the possibility that a
calculated route may include an unexpected
section of road.
Updating of the map structure
Sometimes the map structure must be changed -
this occurs if a region has to be added or when a
48
large region needs to be divided into smaller
regions. When this occurs any attempt to update
individual regions using a normal procedure will
fail and a message will indicate the reason.
Instead, the whole map must be reinstalled via a
USB memory. For further information - see Volvo
Cars support page (support.volvocars.com) or
contact a Volvo dealer.
Updating of the navigation system
software
Besides the map data, the navigation system's
own software, which is subject to constant devel-
opment, requires updating now and then. A situa-
tion can then arise where the latest updates of
map data cannot be supported by the existing
software of the navigation system. In which case
a message is shown to inform that the navigation
system software must be updated. This can be
done at a Volvo dealer.
More information may be found under "Software
Version" in the "System Settings" section.
Updating with Internet-connected car or
USB
For information about how maps are updated,
see the sections "Updating map data with Inter-
net-connected car" and "Updating map data via
PC and USB".
