Just want to see if anyone would have come across the same issue and how it is resolved.

GPS built in Hyundai SanteFe Elite 2015 seems to reset to factory settings every time the car is started and never members the recent travel history. It starts with selecting voice of speaker, route preference etc. Its annoying but bearable as I use Google Map more often. The biggest inconvenience is that the clock and daylight saving on/off is under GPS setting and the car never tells me the correct time most months in the year, always 1hr behind.

Don't really want to pay US/NZD $xxx to get the map updated if its the only way. Any other solution that someone out there has worked out n could share? Thanks in advance

Perhaps it isn't getting power when off to keep the memory alive. Check for a blown fuse for a constant 12v feed to it.

hi, i'm not very technical. Not sure where to look for that. If you could please give a bit more details, thank you.

If you're not technically minded I would take it to an auto electrician. As above, its more than likley the infotainment unit which includes the GPS isn't getting a constant voltage when the car is switched off to maintain the settings. Could be as simple as a blown fuse or a broken wire or electrical connector in the circuit.

Does it forget the lot? Radio station presets etc too? Your battery is definitley good, no issues starting etc? Checked all fuses? Looks like there are two different fuses for the nav etc, possibly one is constant power. Check 'Multimedia' & 'Module 4' and confirm they are both good. That will be in the panel near the driver's door. Otherwise take it to an autosparky or the dealer.

I'd be interested to know what the fuse for 'Memory 1' does

Don't think the memory ones are related to infotainment. But worth checking regardless - heck, check all of them.
