This is pathetic. Volvo was taken to the cleaners by Google.
Amazing.
Google Maps without satellite view! My dealership (who I will not name right now) never informed me of this, THOUGH they, to their credit, told me about the LACK OFF Android Auto/Apple CarPlay & Sirius XM. I found the compass debacle on my own. Now this.
My disdain for Volvo continues to grow.
The Dealership (that will remain unnamed for now) keeps on ASSURING me that the 2022 Volvo XC60 I ordered on August 15, 2021 (& paid a HEFTY deposit for) will be delivered — as promised — on November 15, 2021. On September 14, 2021, a month into the order, we had agreed on November 15 as the drop-dead date. Well, let’s wait & see.
No satellite view. No compass. Yes, you don’t need any navigation in Sweden. Big country BUT not that many roads!
Sweden has 82,800 miles TOTAL of public roads!
Just the State of Massachusetts has 77,730 miles. New Hampshire, where I live, has 33,391. So, just MA & NH together, has more roads that ALL of Sweden. Hence, why Volvo doesn’t understand the need for decent navigation. In Sweden you can navigate just by the stars!
I am NOT amused. IF I do, by some miracle, get my XC60 on November 15, 2021, I will still not be a happy camper. SMILE.
