Q How often is the map updated?
We offer map updates once a year for older models. Newer models that store their data on SD cards have updates that are released twice a year.
Q How can I find out which map version I have?
You can your version by pressing System Info. button on the navigation setup menu. The map version number appears on the screen with the version of current software version. Different car models display different versions. To check if you have the latest version, click on 'Map Update' tab and check if your vehicle's map version matches the latest version.
Q When I do a Map Update, do I also get a software update too?
Yes your update will include improvement to the software as well, but the level of change depends on the model. Check out your model under the tab 'Map Update' to see the changes.
Q I want to update because a road or point of interest is missing. How do I know if the update will include this missing area?
To see if the missing area has been updated, click on 'Map Error Reporter' tab and check the map. Since this map is the updated frequently, sometimes the missing information will appear on this map page, but might not have been added in time for the newest map update release. Please call our call center to confirm at 1-888-757-0010.
Q Can I use the navigation system software in my computer?
No. The navigation system software is designed only for use in your KIA navigation system.
Q Is there a reason why I should update my map and/ or software?
Each year, the map database is updated with new subdivisions, improved rural maps and other roadway changes. Points of Interest like stores and restaurants are updated as well. Occasionally new features are added to the navigation system software.
Q Will the update effect my XM traffic subscription?
Rarely, but if your XM traffic seems to be having issues, please call XM Traffic's Listener Care Product Support at 866-463-5326 and have them refresh your vehicle signal to correct any problems. Listener Care is available to assist you Monday – Saturday from 8am to 11pm ET and Sunday from 8am – 8pm ET.
Q Can my navigation system provide coverage for Canada, Mexico, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico?
Coverage for Mexico is not provided by our digital map but Hawaii, Alaska, and Canada are included in the navigation system's map data base. Puerto Rico is available for certain models. Please call our call center at 1-888-757-0010 to confirm if Puerto Rico is included in your update.
Q Can you guarantee that a certain road, highway, or point of interest has been added to the latest map update?
Answer: The map data and points of interest (POI) are provided from our data source provider HERE.com. We purchase the data, compile it in the format the radio manufacturer requires, they build the update, then we test it before it is released. Our updates come out about 6 months after we purchase the raw data. This means there is less than a 2% chance that a new road is missing from the update that is currently on their website. That 2% would mean that the road was added after we already purchased the data. The accuracy of POIs are also dependent on reported data from HERE, but they are constantly being revised. We can always check before you purchase the update to make sure a new road or point of interest is included. Also, a brand new road or POI may take as few as 6 months to show up on one of our map updates. Please contact our Call Center with any questions at 1-888-757-0010.
