| Posted by jparish Preparing .gpx files for use in Volvo Sensus satnav Hi, I have recently purchased a Volvo V60 (2015 MY) with built-in Sensus navigation. The system allows you to add your own POI (recorded as "stored locations") in .gpx format. I have tried with a set of 200 addresses and can add the basic name/latitude/longitude data just fine, so that I can navigate to them or see them on the map.. However, when looking at any entry - or the standard Volvo POI data such as hotels - I can see there are fields available for phone numbers and website addresses. These connect with the Bluetooth phone capability and Internet connection in the car so you can e.g. call a hotel or look at its website. I have this information for my set of addresses in a .csv file, but cannot get the phone/web data into the right format to create a .gpx file in which this information appears. I have tried playing with various outputs, but really need some advice from someone who knows more about GPX or XML. Can anyone here help me? Thanks, Julian. |

| Posted by jparish Re: Preparing .gpx files for use in Volvo Sensus satnav Hi Mark, I swear by your tools and normally find them great, hence the infrequency of my posts for help! Unfortunately I can only get the tools to bring over the name, latitude & longitude, but not the other data. Cheers, Julian. |

| Posted by mikew1088 Re: Preparing .gpx files for use in Volvo Sensus satnav Hi , I have been directed here from another site, as I have been told you may be able to help with a problem. I have with my 2015 Volvo V40 D4 SE LUX NAV. If this isn't the right place to post please let me know and I will start a new topic. I downloaded the speed camera database which I have found to be really good on my old Tomtom. Now I have a built in satnav, I don't really want another one stuck on the windscreen, but I cannot get the cameras to show their speed limit icons on the Sensus screen. I have checked that this database is compatible with Volvo, and have downloaded the appropriate file format Other GPX. I have transferred all of the GPX files together with their associated BMP files to a USB and placed them in the car socket. On choosing Import locations from USB, clicking Root then Continue, I have the options to either add the files to an existing category folder, or create a new category. If I choose either option, I can only choose one or about 5 or 6 icons, and there is no option to choose the BMP file relevant to the GPX files. Once uploaded, all of the camera locations show on the map, but only with the category icon, not the individual BMP file. So on approaching a camera location, the satnav dings once as an alert, but nothing shows in the top right corner of the screen to say what the speed limit actually is. Is there any way to get the BMP file to show on the map, and also how to get this to show when approaching a camera? At the moment all I get are a lot of sound alerts but nothing to actually say what they refer to. |
