It's a shame they have yet to upgrade that antiquated non-touch screen GPS. Current Volvo models equipped with GPS feature three steering column-mounted buttons to enter information into the GPS. My understanding that it won't be until 2009 when Volvo enters the world of touch-screen GPS. Touch screen dramatically reduces the amount of time required to enter destination addresses and navigate deep menus. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 29th 2007 8:56AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Volvo adding new safety features to S80, XC70, and V70 automobiles]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/volvo-adding-new-safety-features-to-s80-xc70-and-v70-automobil/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/volvo-adding-new-safety-features-to-s80-xc70-and-v70-automobil/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have a 2005 XC90 with that navigation system and I have to say, once you get a knack for it it is alot easier than many touchscreens like the Alpine one in my Crossfire. Also the Volvo navigation system has a very unique placement that is in my opinion alot safer: it's raised and on top of the dash which allows the driver to glance at it without taking there eyes off of the road, unlike most other were you have to look down to see it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Shoaib]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 29th 2007 10:45AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Volvo adding new safety features to S80, XC70, and V70 automobiles]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/volvo-adding-new-safety-features-to-s80-xc70-and-v70-automobil/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/volvo-adding-new-safety-features-to-s80-xc70-and-v70-automobil/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hmm, back when I got my license, the theory part would have a question "you're getting tired, what do you do?".
