Server-Based Routing Navigation

[Billw8]

I am sure that most of you have noticed that in the city the car navigation will take you where you need to go, but it will not give you the best optimal route that you can get using your iPhone. The Mapnsoft website, Hyundai Mapcare | FAQs / Contact Us, appears to indicate that the new map updates can give the potential for the same good navigation routing we get on an iPhone.

The Mapnsoft website defines Server-Based Routing or Connected Routing, "as being a more precise, more accurate method to providing the best routing available when a driver inputs an address. When routing to an address is requested by the driver, the route is calculated in the cloud through the vehicle’s LTE connection, rather than calculating the route on-board the vehicle." The website says that to get Server-Based Routing, "You need an active Blue Link (Hyundai), Genesis Connected Services, or UVO (Kia) subscription."

I currently have Blue Link Connected Care, but not Blue Link Guidance. I also do not have SiriusXM Traffic. I do not seem to be getting Server-Based Routing because my iPhone is still showing the best routes. Have any of you been able to get Server-Based Routing in your Genesis? My car is a 2015 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 Ultimate.

Don’t expect to see a massive routing improvement. SBR mainly makes complicated route generation faster...assuming the car has a good cellular connection at the time.

I’ve been asking them to take things a step further and ditch SiriusXM traffic for INRIX over LTE. It would be nice to have granular traffic on the map for most roads.

So in the GV80's case when you enter an address and it shows no routes, but only after you select "use onboard routing" on the bottom does it give you results and directions, does that mean there's something wrong with the vehicle's ability to connect to a server?

Likely. Genesis has been having frequent issues with server outages related to telematics.
