Evening all, I don't know if it's been mentioned as I only read the first page, but I have a 2009 v70 with the inbuilt sat nav and I'm in the unfortunate boat of having to pay for my update discs and tbh I agree with others, just get a Garmin / Tom Tom as for the discs its a whopping £125. I can go get a satnav with lifetime maps and camera updates for that. It's stupid and unfair for volvo to insult their customers and stop updates from 2013 which obviously already 3 years outdated.

You did indeed get the right places! and the answer is that it looks like 2 out of the 3 are now correct (my 2013 disc has 0 of 3 correct). It's the most recently changed junction that's not correct, but it's unreasonable to expect them to be bang up-to-date. The principle is simply that of more up to date than what we have currently.
Thank you for that, I'll probably order one of those discs. Quote:

I have an idea, but don't want to brake the law nor Forum rules, so if I'm doing that below, I'm asking Mods to delate that post, please. Volvo doesn't update these maps anymore, and they didn't sell rights to do it to any third party, so I don't know if that what is doing the shop I purchased discs from is legal, I mean earning money on. So what do you think if I would copy all 4 discs and upload them to our or any recommended server and Forum members could download them for free? |

I think that would be shaky ground at best - regardless of whether volvo sell it or not, the content of the discs is someone's copyright.

Just use the Nav
I drive around with a 6yr old Tom Tom thats not had one update and I've drive in Spain right down to Andalusia into Seville, Granada, Ronda and all over France, Germany, Switzerland, through Belgium and right into cities like Munich, Barcelona, Madrid without so much of a hiccup from using an old map.
Roads do not change "that" much. A Nav with a disc as recent as 2012 will be pretty much bang on. I rock around with a 2009 map and you know what, bar the odd road improvement, new roundabout (the French love roundabouts) its pretty much spot on. Put it this way, I've never not found where I wanted to go. I probably could update it for £40odd quid or buy a newer one for £100odd, but I'd rather spend the money on Fois Gras and Fillets Mignon. A bit of thought and use of roadsigns along with the Nav and you are fine. It is an aid, not a device that drives you point A to B. Just enjoy the car and the fact you have a screen thats in the dash not rattling along an airvent and a messy cable flopping about. |

I mentioned road signs driving in my previous posts. The other thing is that I just don't like to use not up to day devices or softwares. In my work I'm looking for places/addresses every day, and I'm using old fashion paper maps, google maps, auto mapa for trucks software on my laptop and navigon sat nav app on my iPhone, and sometimes still I need to ring the customer to ask how to get to delivery place. If I was using an old maps/software I would not 'survive' a single day, would hit very first wall with my head... hard... few times... |
