Hyundai Motor Group Integrates Google Maps Data into Infotainment Systems
Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis vehicles will soon feature enhanced navigation and infotainment systems powered by Google Maps Platform. This integration will provide drivers with up-to-date information on over 250 million locations worldwide, including details like business hours, contact information, ratings, and reviews. The rollout will begin with Kia vehicles in North America, followed by a global expansion to other Hyundai Motor Group models. This partnership leverages the Google Maps Places API, focusing on location data accuracy. While Hyundai has previously announced plans to adopt Android Automotive starting in 2026, this Google Maps integration is a separate initiative.
