Hi
I have a (rather nice) S60 on loan from Volvo for the week, as I am considering one as a company car and had a question about the Nav system - I assumed, as it is a new system, that it would have full 7 digit postcode support, am I a poor deluded fool? Also, can you upload speed cameras into it as POIs?

Lovely car by the way, I am very tempted as it drives well (apart from light steering), is reasonably quick (I have the new D3, but would go for a D4 if I order one), has a great gadget count including a superb stereo with DAB and it even looks good too.

Cheers

AB

I've been looking at this too. Surprised by the CC tax implications. Seems a good option.

It is a very good option, I have really enjoyed it so far. Apart from the sat nav, which has got me lost on all three journeys. I have even looked at the spec of a V60 without the nav, but the business pack is so good I will probably go for that, but keep using my Tom Tom!

My Sat Nav has 7 digits. I'm assuming you're talking about the Sat Nav built into the dash?

My car is a 2010 on a 60 plate, so they may have changed.

I have to say I have found my Sat Nav very good.

I recently had an email from Volvo saying I would get some DVD updates soon for the Sat Nav, but would need to visit a dealer before loading them for an "update" - hope the update isn't a reduction in postcode digits!!!

You can upload your own points of interest, but not sure how to do it - sorry.

Hope that helps.

It was me being a moron, not for the first time.
You can't use 7 digit postcodes when using the voice recognition, only through the screen, where the option is a bit hidden. Strange way to do it really.
