.The route prohibits the entry of a
vehicle due to a regulation by
time or season or any other
regulation which may be given.

might not be shown if there are
new roads, if roads have
recently changed, or if certain
roads are not listed in the map
data. See Maps032.

on the map, park with the vehicle
running for two to five minutes, until
the vehicle position updates. Make
sure the vehicle is parked in a
location that is safe and has a clear
view of the sky and away from large
obstructions.If the System Needs
Service

service and the steps listed here
have been followed but there are

Map Data Updates
The map data in the vehicle is the
most up-to-date information
available when the vehicle was
produced. The map data is updated
periodically, provided that the map
information has changed.
For questions about the operation of
the navigation system or the update
process, contact the GM Nav Disc

Over-the-Air Vehicle Map
Updates
If equipped, the infotainment system
can receive map updates over the
air. Map updates occur within a
161 km (100 mi) radius around the
home address on file. This
boundary will adjust over time
based on driving patterns. The
vehicle uses a Cloud-connected
service to receive the data and
downloads it to the system’s
onboard SD card, if equipped. The
SD card is required for navigation
system function.
When a map update is available, a
prompt will appear on the
infotainment display. Once the
update is accepted, it will download
and run in the background without
interrupting any infotainment
functions. The download will carry
over ignition cycles, stopping and
starting where it left off. The
updates can be set to download
automatically.
