Many companies offer so-called POI (Point Of Interest) files for download. In certain cases you can use the files to supplement Volvo's maps with information on e.g. Speed cameras, campsites, etc. POI files in GPX format work best with the Sensus RTI system, but can also be imported to models with Sensus Navigation to a certain extent.
Hi everyone,
An odd problem has developed on my (2008) XC70 and I'm hoping an expert here can help, because my local Volvo dealer is stumped!
When I first bought the car in April '09 it was about 10 months old. At that time, the built-in RTI remembered its settings - in other words, if you set 'Female Voice', 'Miles' as the unit, and 'United Kingdom' as the country, those settings would be persistent even if the car was left undriven for a week or more.
Then after about 3 months, the RTI suddenly forgot all these settings and reset to the defaults (Male voice, Kilometers, unknown country). I configured it again and all was well for a few weeks. Then it reset to defaults, again. I went through this cycle of choosing my preferred settings & losing them again with increasing frequency, but once it got to about the 15-month-old mark the RTI just stopped remembering settings altogether. In other words, if I choose settings now, turn off the RTI & engine, then re-start the RTI - everything's back at defaults.
To me, this seems like a battery issue - almost like there's a backup battery on the RTI that helps it remember these things - but my dealer denies this is the case, and can't offer a solution.
Any thoughts or ideas?
Waiting in hope !
