All Hyundai vehicles with a navigation system have a map and points of interest database that should be updated to better help you locate recently added roads or new points of interest. For most models prior to 2017, updates are available one time a year in the Spring.  For models 2017 and newer, updates are available each year in the Spring and Fall.

Watch this video for quick directions on how to easily update your multimedia system, allowing you to add new and improved functionality to your Hyundai as it becomes available.
