Server-Based Routing or Connected Routing is 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.

You must have GEN 5 or GEN 5 Wide head unit, an active Blue Link Guidance Package (Hyundai), Genesis Connected Services, or UVO (Kia) subscription, and MAP version 14.0 or newer installed*.

* How to check if you have map version 14.0 or newer? 

Please go to your "SYSTEM INFO"* on your Navigation System. Depending on your vehicle, you may need to scroll down to find the "MAP VER" info. If you see the following digits "NAM.13.41.42.###.###.#" or "NAM.13.47.44.###.###.#", it means you have version 14.0 or newer. 

* How to find the SYSTEM INFO & MAP VER?

Check your route settings. If you continue to have issues, go to Contact Us below, choose Routing category and describe your issue.

Please make sure you are using traffic data (HD radio or SiriusXM which requires subscription) for the most accurate ETA. Check your route settings as well. If you continue to have issues, go to Contact Us, choose Routing category and describe your issue.

The SBR navigation system always compare if staying on route will be less time than going on alternate route to avoid the traffic. When the alternate route will take longer than remaining on route with the traffic jam, then the system will not recommend it.

It is possible that your address/street is in a new development area or the it has not been collected by the map data collector. Typically, it will take about 1 year for the map data to add these new locations from the time they are recorded.

You will need to order the Non-Navigation Update instead of the Map Update Software.

Certain 2014 to 2017 models will add ACP/AA after a map update. Please check the “New Features” guide listed under your particular model. If ACP/AA is not mentioned, then an update will not add it.

Although a map update can provide the latest software, there could be many other unaddressed issues related to why a driver is experiencing problems. MnSOFT is not the developer of ACP/AA. Map update provides the latest roads, points of interest and (depending on model) latest software. ACP/AA issues should be addressed to Hyundai, Kia, or Genesis customer care.

This is the current standard feature for Android Auto. 

It depends on how you connected your mobile phone to the head unit and whether the music file contain album art on it, we recommend using cable connection instead of Bluetooth. This feature is not compatible with external music app such as Spotify, Amazon Music or YouTube Music.

https://storage.googleapis.com/mapcare_download/Software/AACP/DAUDIO_09042020.zip

You will need a minimum 8 GB USB drive. Max compatible size is 32 GB. Please do not use 64 GB USB drive.
