KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 6 (Bernama) -- HERE Technologies, a global leader in mapping and location data, and Hyundai AutoEver (HAE), the mobility software subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Group, announced the expansion of their online navigation collaboration for Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis vehicles at CES 2026.
HERE Technologies Senior Vice President and General Manager for Asia Pacific, Deon Newman highlighted that the partnership redefines navigation for the software-defined vehicle era, making it smarter, fresher, and more connected to the world around it.
Meanwhile, HAE Head of Navigation Division, Dongkwon Suh said the expansion into North America and Australia marks a milestone in delivering intelligent, real-time, and personalised navigation experiences.
Leveraging HERE’s automotive-grade maps and artificial intelligence (AI)-powered map-making capabilities, HAE now delivers faster, more accurate updates for its online navigation system, reducing the map data update cycle by more than fivefold.
HERE in a statement said updated roads, speed limits, and points of interest are now reflected more rapidly in infotainment platforms across North America and Australia.
The expansion covers over one million vehicles equipped with Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC) and Connected Car Integrated Cockpit (ccIC27) systems, enhancing navigation accuracy, real-time location intelligence, and overall driver experience.
HERE’s unified mapping architecture integrates data from over 44 million connected vehicles, sensors, and community sources, providing a foundation for advanced driver assistance, automated driving systems, and AI-driven cockpit features such as natural language interactions and personalised travel planning.
The collaboration aims to evolve HAE’s online navigation into a streaming navigation solution, leveraging HERE APIs and SDKs to enable lane-level guidance, live map rendering, ADAS integration, and Navigation on Autopilot (NOA) capabilities.
This development builds on a long-standing partnership between the companies, combining innovation, global scale, and a commitment to customer experience, positioning both for the next generation of connected, software-defined vehicles.
