2012 R-Spec with Outdated Nav Map

[landtuna]

I discovered yesterday that my Nav system (DIS) could not find my home town when entering the street name. I talked to an agent from MNSOFT this morning and discovered that the map in my Genny is not current.

The version in my car now is: 03.00.00 2011 05.27.00

The version that should be there is: 03.00.00 2012.04.14.00

If you are also having issues and have a car manufactured around this date you might contact MNSOFT to see if you have a version issue.

When I moved into my home about 5 years ago, my street was not on any Internet or GPS maps. I got online to Navteq (which at that time supplied many GPS and also Google maps) and requested them to correct it, which eventually they did.

Not only was my street not on any internet or GPS maps, the County Tax Assessor office had the street listed wrong (as a Drive instead of Court) and the US Post Office website had no record of my address. I could not get a AT&T phone land line, cable TV, or Internet access for about 5 months. Turns out that the builder forgot to notify everyone of the new street. I did have electrical service, natural gas, and water.

Just because your GPS could not find your home town when entering the street name with the old release, does not automatically mean it will show up on the newer release. So before you plunk down any money, or spend time asking the dealer about the latest version, you might want to check a car with the newer maps to see if your street is there now.

MNSOFT confirmed the new release does work correctly and Hyundai confirmed it is a warranty issue.

My neighborhood has been in existence since 1980 so chances are it was a bug and not, as you experienced, absence of new data.

Re: 2012 R-Spec with Outdated Nav Map - UPDATE

Two days after discovering I could not set my home address because the nav (DIS) system would not recognize my city name (and setting it with the map pointer feature instead) I tried again. This time it worked! I have not even driven the car in between tries so I have no idea what happened.

I still plan to get the map updated to the current version as the car should have been delivered with that map.
