I had the same trouble when trying to load the update from my 64gb thumb drive, I went back to my computer and completely erased everything, then did a re-format of the thumb drive and downloaded the map update. Had no trouble installing the update in the car.Is there a secret to getting the car to see the update on the USB drive? 64gb drive formatted exFAT per the support article, downloaded the whole NA update, but nothing happens when it's plugged into either of the USB ports.

FWIW... thank you. In my mind, this is the way dealers who value their customers should be handling items like this. Frustratingly, my dealer is reluctant to do this and suggests I just do it on my own at home. It's not that I can't... but really? I spent all this $ for a V60 T8 PE and you won't update things like my Honda dealer does? That's not "white glove" customer service befitting a premier brand.
Put your sales person on the spot and have them help you out! A USB drive isn't expensive and if I worked somewhere that wasn't providing it for my customers then I'd be happy to. Heck, it would keep the relationship more with the sales department which benefits us in sales. No more "I bought this car 3 years ago and don't remember the sales persons name".
I just did 3 regional map updates (NY, NJ/PA, MD/DE/DC/VA). I used 3 separate 64mb 3.0 USBs, formatted FAT32. The instructions state that nothing should be on the USB when downloading the map file. No issues. On my 2020 V90, it took approx 30 minutes to load. Each was updated while driving. If you stop midway, the update will recommence when the car is restarted.Once loaded, the screen states that final installation is done once the car is shut off.
Interesting. Every time I bring my truck into the service department, my sales man knows and wants to know what it is in for. At the Volvo stores, sales does not seem to proactively interact with their customers who are in for service.

Anyone else getting an error when launching the update download from the link above?
What error message is it?
I no longer have any USB drives in my house lol, as soon as my Amazon order arrives (Sunday) I will do the update. I'll make sure to keep you updated.
Do only one map update at a time in your car.. As I recall, at most, a regional map file is (at best) only a GB or two, so there's absolutely no need for a 128GB USB. I used 64GB, but I'm sure a 32GB is more than adequate. Follow the formatting instructions. However, again from what I recall, the Volvo instructions state that the USB should not have any files on it prior to downloading a regional map update to the USB on your computer. I followed this instruction to mean that (also) only one regional map update should be on the USB that's inserted into the USB port in the car. I separately uploaded the regions of New England, NY, NJ/PA, DE/DC/VA/etc to my car just a few days ago with no problem.
I downloaded the NA map update to a 256GB USB thumb drive and installed it with no problem.
