Driving down and back up the M4 at the far end in Wales, I noticed about 2 miles before the end junction the car reported a 40 mph speed limit. This lasted for about a mile. Same in both directions, and bizarre!

I’ve spotted so many errors in version 1380 map since I installed it. Including a section of main trunk road near Skipton missing. On two occasions it has taken me on very strange routes, miles out of the way when there was no need to. Also taken me to a destination that was 2 miles from the POI I’d entered. This is by far the worst sat nav I’ve ever known. I’m seriously considering buying a cradle so I can use my phone for navigation. Let’s hope the next version is better.

If you’ve not got, you can have CarPlay / android auto retro fitted by dealership, don’t think it’s too expensive

I enquired about car play when I bought the car. They quoted something like £300. However, I was put off by by the half screen display and decided to wait until they fixed that issue. It now seems I could have a very long wait.

I didn’t have Too many problems with the Sensus maps until I installed 1380. I might consider car play again if Sensus maps don’t improve.

At least we don’t have to pay for the Sensus map updates. Ten years ago, Volvo used DVDs for their maps updates. It used to cost something like £220 for new disks when the updates came out. Volvo put loads of blocks in place that prevented you from using a set of used disks acquired on eBay. I wouldn’t have minded, but the maps were created by Garmin who provided free map updates on their own products.

CarPlay on half screen display is a feature, not a bug :lol:
For a better CarPlay experience you’ll need a new car, you shouldn’t expect the old Sensus entertainment system to be updated.

Larry, you're right. Although they are a bit late, there is finally a version 1386 available now at https://www.volvocars.com/hr/support/do ... spa/europe
The next one is going to be available in a month time.
