Okay, my new kona hasn't had any upgrades as yet, but I needed to find my nearest boots stores because the one I went to didn't have what I needed. Instead of centring results on my location the stupid thing thought I was in London! Only 40-50 miles out!

My favourite faux pa's was asking the satnav (verbally) for Morrisons and being taken to a private residence in a street full of houses. Was it the home of Mr & Mrs Morrisons, I have no idea, to be fair it did give me a choice of 15 different Morrisons and I chose that one, but I can't say I actually know the address of the shop I wanted a mile or so away.

Yeah, I always check the location of the overview. That being said it's a passion in the butt because there is no overview button. So you have to zoom out about 10 times to be able to get there.
The new update is supposed to switch to overview automatically when you're not moving for 15 seconds.

Am I surprised, no. If you know where you want to go its fine, but let it offer suggestions no. This is the sat nav which would take you through an unfordable ford.

That sounds like a line from "To dream an uimpossible dream. To fight the . . ."

I use Google on my phone to work out a destination and (if possible) a postcode/address for it. Then put that in the car's nav. It's a whole lot easier, quicker and more reliable than trying to persuade the car system (not just the Kona either) to give a usable result.

The stupid thing is the hyundai app works perfectly for navigation. You can search and find places just as you would inside, say Google Maps, and then send your choice to the car. I ended up doing that (before lockdown) when going to Swindon, and as I say it worked a dream. Well almost.

As I approached the destination the stupid satnav took me down some backroads. But that's because the satnav, as yet, hasn't got the latest updates and so knew nothing about the relatively newly built shopping complex and the new access roads.
