Can you work out what file format the supplied data is in, if you can even find the file on the disk it might be possible to work out what format they are using.
Once the format is understood the usual way to add third party data is to copy the DVD to the PC, swap out the supplied camera data for the third party data then burn the whole lot to a new disk.

If you can find the speed cam file on the disk I am more than happy to take a look at the data format as I am used to quite a few different file types used by various GPS hardware - Mike

There's an option on the Sensus Satnav to import additional POIs from USB or disk: Settings->Import/edit MyPOI

No idea what format it expects, let alone what the filename should be.

Question Is the MY12 Sat Nav HDD based or not?

I am getting confused by the threads on Sat Nav.

Do you have a MY12 car or MY11, I only ask because i am waiting for my XC60 at the moment and the MY12 brochure states that "the sat nav system features a hard disk drive containing maps for major parts of Europe".

However other comments have referred to changing DVD's for different countries.

From MY11.5 (around Oct 2011 build) onwards, cars are fitted with the Sensus system, which has a hard drive. Prior to that, the system was DVD based.

I've previously downloaded speed cameras as POIs from an excellent web site www.pocketgpsworld.com and loaded them onto my TomTom. Is it possible to load speed cams as POIs onto the XC60 system and then get warned as per tem's messages?
Sent this query to Volvo:-
Please enter your message here: On the current XC60 Sat Nav there is an option to import extra POI's via USB or disk. Can you tell me what format that needs to be please?

First reply said:-
Dear Mr G,

Thank you for your email.

Currently we do not have a format which would support your request of importing extra points of interest on your model year vehicle. When you do receive your next Satnav update disc, it maybe updated with further points of interests.

Then when pushed had this reply from Volvo:-

Dear Mr G,

Thank you for your email.

I will contact our centrally located technical support team regarding your query, before I do this, can you please provide me with the below information. -Vehicle registration -Where it states that you can add your own POI -Which system you have? Garmin/Sensus or MMM2

Once I have this information, we can look into this further.

Kind regards

The option is under the Satnav's "Settings" menu on my MY11.5 Sensus-equipped car. It appeared after the car went in to the dealer a couple of weeks ago for a software update to cure (which it has, incidentally) all the Sensus bugs I'd reported six months ago.

So I suspect this is some new feature the existence of which hasn't percolated up the Volvo hierarchy. There's no mention of the option in the dead tree manual which came with the car.

Finally got an answer from Volvo after pushing a bit:-

Dear Mr G,

Thank you for your email.

The format has to be GPX1.1, any approved Volvo dealership will be able to provide you with the technical data at the time.

Kind regards

Does any one know of a good download site for UK POI Camera sites in the above file format?

Now that is interesting as my MY11.5 certainly does't have that option.

I was going to start a thread re Sensus bugs but if you would be so kind as to let us know what has been fixed in your update that would be useful.
