I too am interested in knowing what the other enhancements might be. I got a mailer today in the mail stating that the update contains "Countless updates to POIs, updated road information, and more!" I wonder really what the "and more" part is. If anyone finds out the specs, please share... Replies to this message: rv65 (Jan 21, 2009 1:50 am)

Replying to: peridoc (Jan 20, 2009 5:27 pm) Make sure you use the code PRE1 when ordering so you get an $80 if you order by 1.31.09.
#98 of 134 09 Sonata SKU by rv65 Jan 23, 2009 (1:25 am)
09 Sonata now uses 2X for it's SKU. Might want to go to their website and call their number to make sure you get the right one. Make sure you order it and use the code PRE1 since that gives you a 40 percent discount on it.

I called MapNSoft yesterday. I think the main confusion about what they are providing is that they are just releasing updated map information. So it is highly possible there literally is nothing more on the DVD than just updated POI's, locations, phone numbers, etc.   One piece of info he did give is that when you do order the dvd and you receive it. After updating the map software in the navi, you will be provided with a number that you will then need to call to MapNSoft and give them this number. They will then generate a code and give it to you to enter into the navi. Without this code, you will not be able to use the updated map section.

I called as well to get more clarification and they told me that this update was just a road and information (address, POI, tel numbers) update. There are no different graphics or enhancements other than those included in the two areas I just listed. (according to them)
#101 of 134 Device ID by rv65 Jan 30, 2009 (12:48 pm)
Go to setup and press system info. That will show the device ID for map updates.
#102 of 134 Anyone get the update? by peridoc Feb 10, 2009 (11:04 am)
I was wondering if anyone had gotten the Navigation System map update from MapNSoft? What are your impressions and what have you noticed new in the update that was not there before? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
#103 of 134 Map Update / Software Update by themerg Feb 13, 2009 (11:50 am)
Okay, I got the update for the 2009 Sonata. It took a bit to get it loaded. At first it would say it was verifying the DVD, but then it would just spit it out. I called MapnSoft and he had me reset (the small little button to the top left of the Tune dial) the Nav Unit first and then do the install. That did the trick. Although, it takes about 90 minutes then for the install.   Once installed, I found that it updated to the map to v1.09.13 and it also updated the software to v_015. There some new features that I noticed off the bat, such as an Emergency button on the Navigation Destination screen. The QWERTY keyboard issue also appears to have been resolved.   On the downside, I noticed that when doing the reset, which has to be done at some point during the update, it actually wipes all your settings (programmed radio stations, address book).   There is also a new quirk with the Random button. When selecting Random while playing my iPod, it first goes to Album Random and then Random. So now, you have to hit Random twice everytime you turn on your car or switch components if you want to randomize your playlist. Ugh! Just what I need, more wear and tear on my touchscreen.   - Merg Replies to this message: nstuff (Feb 13, 2009 1:10 pm) themerg (Feb 13, 2009 2:14 pm) i360 (Feb 17, 2009 12:55 pm) themerg (Feb 19, 2009 10:00 am)

Replying to: themerg (Feb 13, 2009 11:50 am) themerg,   You had a rather excellent post previously (linked below) describing each of the 6 major issues with the navi.   You mentioned the qwerty and random issues appear resolved. I'd be interested in if the other four are fixed too.   When I spoke with M&Soft a while back, the guy suggested that they build the database and send it off to get the dvd created and then sent back to be sold. He said the only changes he knew of were the map database, but couldn't give me any specifics on other updates although he suggested it could be possible.   Now we know they did fix a few of the outstanding issues.   I just wish M&Soft techs were better informed about what they were selling.   Post I'm referring to with list of bugs: http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f1b1997/75 Replies to this message: themerg (Feb 13, 2009 2:14 pm)
