#85 of 134 Navigation freeze issue by vaterp Dec 18, 2008 (6:30 am)
Hey guys, I have a new 09 v4 sonata w/ nav. I've got about 800 miles on the car right now and this morning I got hit with the nav freeze issue.   is there a known fix / upgrade or something that takes care of this? I tried turning the car on / off a couple times and it was always frozen - no nav functions at all, and just the hyundai logo stuck on the screen.   anyway, i have a service appt for tomorrow, is there something specific i should be asking for?   thanks -brian Replies to this message: vaterp (Dec 18, 2008 5:40 pm) bhmr59 (Dec 18, 2008 6:25 pm) kenlight1 (Dec 18, 2008 9:17 pm)

Replying to: vaterp (Dec 18, 2008 6:30 am) Hey guys, I restarted my car on the way home from work and the screen came up fine. For those of you that are familiar with this issue --- is there anything to fix yet, or does this just 'happen' sometimes? I dont want to drive all the way to the dealer tomorrow if there is nothing they are going to change.   Any advice would be greatly appreciated.   On a side note, the little i've used the nav so far, it seems to make really really really poor choices re/ routing. I've got a 200$ dollar tomtom that seems to give far superior routing advice. Any of you guys agree? Are there any sw fixes that address this issue? I'm continually baffled at how terrible some of it's suggestions are.   Thanks -brian Replies to this message: bhmr59 (Dec 18, 2008 6:25 pm) kenlight1 (Dec 18, 2008 9:17 pm)

Replying to: vaterp (Dec 18, 2008 5:40 pm) Your experience with the Tom Tom and the price differential are reasons I'd not consider NAV as an option on a car. Plus, your Tom Tom can be taken with you if you rent a car.   Personallly, I'd prefer a Garmin to a Tom Tom but that's just a matter for each person to determine.

Replying to: vaterp (Dec 18, 2008 5:40 pm) I had the same problem with my NAV system. The ICONs were lost but came back the next time I drove the car --- for one time. I than took it to the dealer who replaced the radio. I have a feeling that this is probably a hardware problem and not software. I would bet that a video chip either went bad because of overheating or partially popped out of it's socket. We will probably never know as I suspect the unit is sealed (and under warranty).   On your other point I do think the Gamin software is superior to the NAVs routing software. I do like the ability of adding POIs which is lacking this the built-in unit. I do miss having the red light camera file. On the other hand it was a real pain in the a%$ to keep hiding the removable unit in my last car.
#89 of 134 ETA on Map update by rv65 Dec 26, 2008 (10:29 pm)
The map update will come out on 1.31.09. It will be on a DVD that updates the flash chip. The 09 Sonata uses a flash chip to store the maps. As usual www.mapnsoft.com will sell the update for $200.

Any word on what this map update includes? Is it just road updates? Are there any additions to the map software with regards to feature enhancements or additions? Replies to this message: rv65 (Dec 27, 2008 1:27 pm)

Replying to: peridoc (Dec 26, 2008 10:36 pm) Just updates to the maps and it may enable XM NavTraffic that has been rumored for this system. Software updates are done by the dealer. Another software update is rumored.

Ok...one more question (I should have asked before) - Do map updates include POI updates or will those basically stay the same as the prior version?   Thanks! Replies to this message: rv65 (Dec 28, 2008 1:27 am)

Replying to: peridoc (Dec 27, 2008 1:31 pm) Yes it will update the POI's. All map updates do that. Thats the whole point in doing that. I could see another software update via a TSB.
#94 of 134 M&SOFT announced new maps by nstuff Jan 19, 2009 (3:26 pm)
M&Soft has just announced that they are accepting pre-orders for the updated maps.   Link: https://www.mapnsoft.com/news/content.asp?name=news&id=53   As is usual, their website is barely functional. I checked and the 2009 Sonata isn't even an option yet. Maybe soon, but right now, only the 2008 is available. Not only that, but they decided to forget that I had previously registered with them (and my ID worked yesterday). Hopefully they get their website problems figured out soon.   Anyone call them up yet to see what all is new in the update outside the typical new roads and POI content?
