Navigation* - specify destination

Specify destination in the navigation system.

Each time a destination is specified it is possible to save it as "stored location" or "home", which is then easily accessible when a destination shall be specified. The navigation system gives guidance to a destination, and it is possible to add four waypoints in the itinerary. For many destinations, the navigation system can also give further information with the Information menu option.

With the car connected to the Internet it is possible to use the app "Send to Car" to send map destinations from a browser and via the Volvo On Call app to the navigation system, see support.volvocars.com.

To access the following alternative methods for specifying destinations, in the normal view for the navigation source, press OK/MENU and select Set destination.
