Enabling Navigation System

[kerim]

Hi everyone, 

I have XC60 2019, and I used Orbit to enable Navigation System on my care (Option 223, set to #3). I'm getting a message that I should load maps using USB. I tried to load the maps, but I'm getting nothing on my screen (I used two USB drives, and different file systems like exFAT, FAT32 and NTFS on it). I have one USB port in my arm rest. Can someone help me with activation? 

Thanks

Get an at least 64GB flash drive. 
Format it to NTFS
From here https://www.volvocars.com/uk/support/downloads/maps/spa download the whole region an not just couple of countries into a folder on the local drive. (Do not choose USB ) You must have the base map installed first. Then you can update your home country or state later on. 
After the download is completed, copy the contents of the downloaded folder directly into root of the flash drive. (there should not be any folders in the root of the flash drive, just files). 

Start the car, and then connect the USB, you should get a message to install the maps.

I would like to contribute to the community by saying that it is also possible to update Sensus maps by using a specially prepared USB external hard drive if you have such lying around, not only by using a USB flash drive. Furthermore - sometimes if one buys a 64GB USB flash in the shop, it might have an actual capacity of less than 57GB, to fit the whole Europe map on it (I had such a situation).

USB hard drives  (in my case - WD My Passport Ultra) have large capacities, e.g. 2TB. Those for some reason might not be recognized and read properly by Sensus. Therefore one must clean the hard drive of all partitions and create a BMW boot record (GPT will not work), and a single reasonable partition, I tried 64GB.

That can be done (if using Windows 10+) by connecting the external hard drive to it and running the following commands in the command prompt:

Run the tool:
diskpart

List all disks in the computer:
list disk

Identify and select the right (very important!) external disk (e.g. 1, 8 etc.) for further actions:
select disk X

Next:
clean
convert mbr
create partition primary size=65536
format fs=ntfs quick
assign
active
exit

The disk should show up under "My Computer" and the Volvo map downloader should be able to find it.
The next steps are as per other tutorials explaining map updating.

Thanks a lot, both of you! I managed to install the maps by following steps you guys provided.
