    So the MapnSoft folks release the bi-yearly update for the latest NAV stuff on November 8th. Tried using the UPDATER and low and behold, it is "TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE". I contacted the MapnSoft forum and was told by them that "HYUNDAI MOTORS PULLED THE UPDATE". Evidently a major issue in it ...

    Hmmm …. Mine updated last week. I’ve got high hopes because the last version was awful. It usually worked OK here in semi-rural Vancouver Island but got completely bamboozled both times I was over in Vancouver lately.

    Haven’t had time to check the new one out much but I really hope it tells me what side of the street my destination is when I arrive.

    Interesting. Must be because of your location (Canada). The US version for my KONA was in fact "pulled".

    Well, looks like HYUNDAI released the Nov2021 update finally, today ... Downloading now. Has anyone actually UPDATED their s/w to this latest version?

    Yea, not much new ... However It includes a MAJOR fix for an issue I've had since last January though -- sending the POI Address to my car ALWAYS failed, even though it said "SUCCESSFUL" ... I had a ticket open with HYUNDAI for nearly a year. So really happy to have that feature back.

    Other than THAT, only a couple of things changed that are pretty worthless (to me). Wish they'd bring back that darn 3 SPLIT Screen though.

    Never lost it, I am still running the original software and have no intention of "upgrading" it.
    Works flawless for me.;)

    ^^Same here. I brought my Kona in for its first "service" (5000 miles) this morning and made sure to confirm that the service department wasn't going to apply any NAV updates. The service advisor helping me even chuckled and said that he's been getting asked that a lot lately.

    I don't know if mine just happened automagically or if my tech-crazy grandson who was sitting in the car hit "accept" when a notice appeared. Anyway, I've got it and so far haven't noticed much difference. Still doesn't tell me what side of the street my destination is on - something my old Elantra managed to do.

    Are these OTA updates?

    No ... USB stick ... Das Kona - maybe post a pic of your software version (Setup / General) ... this is not an OTA update.

    PS - Hyundai PULLED this version again. So if you attempt to download, you'll get a message that it is (again) Temporarily Unavailable. This is due to a major issue going on with the latest release (which I reported to them Friday). There is a separate thread on that issue. They expect to have the "fix" applied in the coming week and said to try again NEXT week.

    Here’s a pic of my software version. I’m assuming it’s the latest, but let me know

    That's the CANADA version ... No idea ... sorry. (The November 2021 USA version was the one that was pulled)

    I doubt Canada is much different versus rest of the world and USA.
    Basically software seems to be one year old - dated October 2020 and therefore most probably outdated.
    Maybe worth waiting another month for Hyundai to sort out latest November 2021 software updates before updating it.

    Looks like my bad, thinking mine had automatically updated on its own. Never trust what a grandson sitting in the car tells you. I've looked into the actual updating now, and it seems to be telling me the 2021 isn't available to download right now.

    correct, it isn't available because there is a MAJOR flaw in it .. I take my car in Dec 3rd for the engineers to capture logs files to try to figure out WTF is broken.
