On Friday morning, on my trip to Vermont, Google Maps on this BLOODY, ACCURSED 2022 Volvo XC60 stopped working AGAIN. This was a common problem during the first 6 months. But, then, with various software updates it got better.

This XC60 has been fairly decent for the last 6 to 7 months. Everything worked.

Then this.

I HATE THIS BLOODY VOLVO.

I can’t wait to get rid of it — albeit ON MY TERMS. I am not giving Volvo another bloody cent. They are crooks.

After 2 hours, after I had made a stop, it magically started working AGAIN!

I checked the software.

Claims I have a July 2024 Map update. The issue was on August 2.

Was it possible that it was updating the software, OTA — which is why maps wasn’t working? I don’t know.

Just letting you know.

It has been a long time since I was able to get an ‘OTA’ (Over the Air) update for my Volvo XC60 because it was B5. I have been taking it, regularly, to a dealer to have the updates installed. This, alas, has also not always been successful. Last year, when they were trying to install v. 2.7 they totally KILLED my car (i.e., it was not operational, & they had to give me a brand new LOANER for a week!)

So, I had some trepidation about installing this — OTA. But, I took a chance. I have yet to drive it, BUT it started. So, that is a start — & I got no error messages.

Since I have not driven it, yet, I can’t tell you what the improvements to the infotainment system might be. I am curious. I know it is not even worth hoping that we might get a compass.
