![]() Open the Sandbox.gpx file in a simple text editor such as Notepadġ0. Save the Sensus Routes.zip file attached to this post to your PC and extract the files, which include a template (Sandbox) and a couple of sample touring routes in France, originally published at. Whatever the source of your route point data:Ĩ. If necessary, prepare the latitude and longitude for each route point using tools such as those at or Google Maps, Microsoft AutoRoute etc.ħ.Ĝreate a CSV file with separate columns listing the latitude and longitude of each route point in sequence If you want to use your own set of route points:Ħ. Open the file containing the route you want to use in your Volvo: it will accept input in 'standard' GPX or ITN formats, amongst many other optionsģ.Ğxport the file as a CSV file and save it to your PC If you want to use an existing route or itinerary:ġ.ĝownload a copy of ITN Converter (from ) and install it on your PC. ![]() It’s a lot simpler than the number of steps might suggest, and includes some safety checks (steps 13-15) to save unnecessary trips to and from the car! Here is a summary of what to do: start at step 1 or step 6 depending on your situation. It's not quite as slick as the solution for adding stored locations with phone numbers enabled (see ) but it does seem to work across any type of route, whether imported from a GPX route or ITN (TomTom) itinerary published elsewhere, or built from your own list of route points. I met Chris Wickers at the NEC Classic Car Show two weekends ago and have agreed to write up a feature on all this for Volvo Driver magazine, so that as many Volvo owners as possible can benefit from what we have learned together. I have also reached out to the great folks on the GPS Data Team forum who helped us get a simple solution to import Points of Interest into the Sensus system. Wimorrison, I am sending you a mail offline with a bit more detail on what I did. I am hopeful though that we will be able to improve on this. It then requires some rather clunky copying and pasting and manual editing of the GPX file before it can be uploaded into the car. Basically, I have combined the data structure from a route which I recorded during a journey in the car and exported via a USB stick, with new route data in "standard" GPX format. The solution is not quite ready for prime time, though. It also lets you overcome the limitation of the Sensus system of only being able to include four intermediate points on a journey, which may not be enough for a long holiday trip, for example. It's a feature which you might use to upload one of the many great touring routes available online, usually in Garmin. More on this next challenge which the designers of the Sensus system have set us! I have now succeeded in creating and importing my own routes into the Sensus system. ![]() I hope this is useful - certainly helped me this past week! You can read these other formats into Tyre or Route Converter and then save and import to the car. Using this will also allow to converts Garmin, TomTom, KML or just about anything into a route that can be read by Sensus Connect. You will then find that the car will show the entire route using the way-points that you have selected in Google maps. ![]() Go to select destination, stored locations, routes and select the route you have just imported Save the xxxx_route to USB stick and import them into the car using the import route in the settings menu. Use Route Converter () either online or downloaded to read the xxxx.gpx (File, Open) as waypoints and save it as xxxxx_route.gpx (File, Save As, then choose GPX 1.1 format) Recently I needed to get some complex and very specific routes into Sensus Connect and according to Volvo it cant be done - well here is how you do it )Ĭreate your route in Google Maps and then copy the URL from the address barĭownload Tyre to Travel () and use it to import the route (File, Import from Website).
