Volvo Owners Club Forum - View Single Post - XC60 2018 - Disappointed with Sensus

I have a June 2017 XC60 and am still struggling with the Sensus navigation system.
This is our first experience of SatNav (have always used maps previously) and i find it very fiddly to set a destination.
It's OK if I use a postcode, but sometimes I don't have that.
If I want to get to a restaurant recommended by someone when we are on a caravan site I want to be able to just enter something like "The Anchor Inn, Tinturn" but that doesn't seem an option.
I'm sure it's all a matter of practice, but I find it more time consuming than using maps (my passenger actually uses the maps).
Another example - suppose I want to travel long distance avoiding motorways except around bid towns / cities - that doesn't seem to be a programmable option. We often want that in Europe.

Any guidance / advice would be appreciated.
Maybe I'm just too old fashioned and hooked on maps.
