In many cases it is simplest to scroll to the desired position on the map and tap it with your finger.
- Check that the map view is in max mode.
- Scroll the map until the desired position is in view.
- Press and hold the position – an icon is created and a menu opens.
- Select Go here – guidance starts.
To erase the icon from the position:
- Select Delete
To adjust the position of the icon:

Specifying a destination with an address
A destination can be specified in different ways in the navigation system – selecting an address is one of them.
When the map is shown, expand the tools field using the down arrow on the left-hand side and press Set dest.
The map image changes to free text searching.
Press Address.
All fields do not need to be filled in. For a journey to a city, for example, it is sufficient to enter just the country and city. Guidance is then given to the city’s centre.
Select one of the available text field options and type using the centre display keyboard:
- Country/State/Province
- City/Territory/Postcode
- Address
- Number
- Junction
For cars with Volvo on Call it is also possible to send addresses and destinations to the car’s navigation system via the Volvo Cars app and a Volvo on Call service centre.
Specify destination with free text searching
A destination can be set in different ways in the navigation system – with free text searching, for example, a search can be made using phone numbers, postcodes, streets, cities, coordinates and points of interest (POI).
The keyboard in the centre display can be used to type most characters and to search for destinations.
When the map is shown, expand the tools field using the down arrow on the left-hand side and press Set dest.
The map image changes to free text searching.
Enter a search term in the search box or first limit the hits by selecting a filter.
Search hits are shown while characters are being entered.
If the search gives the desired result – tap on a search hit to show its information card and select to continue to use the search hit.
If the search gives too many results – tap on Advanced filter and select position to search around, and then select to continue to use the search hit:
- Around car
- Around destination – only shown if a destination is entered.
- Along route – only shown if a destination is entered.
- Around point on map
Coordinates
A destination can also be specified with map coordinates.
- Type, for example, “N 58.1234 E 12.5678” and tap Search.
| N 58,1234 E 12,5678 (with spaces) |
| N58,1234 E12,5678 (without spaces) |
| 58,1234N 12,5678E (with the point of the compass after the coordinate) |
| 58,1234-12,5678 (with hyphen without point of the compass) |
You can use a comma [,] instead of a full stop [.] if you prefer.
Specify destination with point of interest
A destination can be specified in different ways in the navigation system – selecting a point of interest (POI) is one of them.
When the map is shown, expand the tools field using the down arrow on the left-hand side and press Set dest.
The map image changes to free text searching.
Press POI.
Tap on the desired filter (some options only show a set destination or intermediate destination):
- Near the car
- Near the destination
- Close intermediate destinations
- Along route
- Around point on map
Search for and select desired point of interest.
The information card is displayed.
Select Start navigation or Add as waypoint.
Many POIs (e.g. restaurants) have subcategories (e.g. fast food).
In the settings for the map you can change which POIs should be shown on the map. That setting does not affect searching for POI as destination – even excluded POIs are shown as alternative destinations.
Certain POIs are first shown on the map when the scale is 1 km (1 mile).
- The symbol for a POI and the number of POIs varies between different markets.
- New symbols may appear and others disappear after a map data update. You can browse the menu system to find all the symbols used in the current map system.
Specifying a destination with latest/favourites/library
A destination can be specified in different ways in the navigation system – selecting from a list is one of them.
When the map is shown, expand the tools field using the down arrow on the left-hand side and press Set dest.
The map image changes to free text searching.
Then select one of the following lists, at the top of the screen:
- Recent
- Favourites
- Library
After one alternative in a list has been marked, it is added as a destination by using either the Start navigation button or the Add as waypoint button.
Last
Previous searches are listed here. Scroll and select.
Also available as a menu option in the driver display and can be viewed using the right-hand keypad on the steering wheel.
Using Edit, one or more items in the list can be deleted.
Favourites
The positions from Library that are flagged as favourites are collected in this list. Scroll and select.
A position erased from Favourites remains in the Library, but then with an “extinguished” star. To add a position in Favourites, go to Library and select the relevant position’s asterisk again.
A frequently used destination can be programmed and used with Set Home address. An entered Home destination is also available as a menu option in the driver display and can be viewed using the right-hand keypad on the steering wheel.
Using Edit, one or more items in the list can be deleted.
Library
Saved positions and itineraries are collected here. The most recently saved appear uppermost on the list.
Tap on a position’s star to select/deselect it as a favourite. A position with a highlighted/filled star is also listed under the Favourites heading.
Deleting a position in Library will also remove it from Favourites.
The library can be sorted in various ways:
- Added – sorts in chronological order.
- Name – sorts in alphabetical order.
- Distance – sorts in distance from current position.
- Received – positions sent to the car using Send to Car are filtered out. New positions that have not been read have a BLUE cursor which is extinguished when the positions have been read.
Using Edit, one or more items in the list can be deleted.
To edit a saved position in Library, highlight the position in the list and select Edit position. For example, it is possible to change the name of the position, move it on the map by dragging and dropping, and add phone number or email address.
Specify destination with Send to Car
A destination can be specified in different ways in the navigation system – using the Send to Car function is one of them.
Send destination to car
Send to Car is a function that makes it possible to send a destination/position to the car’s navigation system via the Volvo Cars app.
To use Send to Car requires a Volvo ID to be registered to the car.
Receiving and using a destination in the car
For the car to be able to receive data it must be connected to the Internet.
When a destination has been received by the car a notification is shown in the centre display. Tap on the notification/symbol.
An information card is opened.
Select the desired use of the destination.
Using saved destination
Destinations received are saved to the navigation system’s library and can be used later.
If the driver wants to avoid the nearest segment of a route, e.g. because the road is closed, a detour can be selected.
Expand the tools field on the left-hand side with the down arrow and then with the three points.
Press the symbol for Detour to show an alternative route with information about its longest/shortest route as well as calculated journey time. Normally only a short detour is proposed which quickly rejoins the original itinerary.
If the suggestion is accepted: Tap on the sign with detour information. The route is accepted even if you are driving on the road suggested. After the proposal is accepted, guidance is resumed – now with the detour selected as the route. If the suggestion is not accepted continue to drive on the original route.
An alternative to the Detour function is to diverge from the itinerary’s route – the system then updates the route automatically and continues guidance to the destination along the most suitable route.
It is also possible to show an alternative route while driving continues.
