Navigation*: setting a destination
Each time a destination is set, it can be saved as a Stored location or Home. The navigation system provides guidance to the destination and up to four intermediate destinations can be added to an itinerary. In many cases, the system can also provide additional Information about destinations.
If the vehicle is connected to the Internet, map destinations can be sent to the navigation system from a web browser using the "Send to Car" app or by using the Volvo On Call mobile app. See also the vehicle's owner's information and the support site at support.volvocars.com.
