Update Nissan Navigation With the Map Update Tool

When you’re driving from Portland to New York, you want to ensure that you make it to your destination with ease. Drivers looking to update their Nissan Navigation System should first know that their update will depend on which Nissan vehicle they drive. To determine which navigation system your vehicle has, be sure to review this guide. The Map Update Tool application is also available to let drivers add, remove, or update the contacts and locations they have saved in their Navigation System via USB stick. Keep an eye out for a pop-up window that will notify you of any available updates for purchase as well as a list of already-installed updates to your system.

Once you have downloaded the Map Update tool to your Mac or PC, follow these steps to update a map in your Nissan’s Navigation System:

1. Open the Map Update Tool application on your computer, and insert your USB stick.
2. Select “Map Updates,” then select “Update Map” next to each map that you want to update. Drivers can update and download multiple maps at a time. To cancel a download, select “Cancel.”
3. After downloading the map, remove the USB stick and then insert it into your vehicle’s Navigation System where the directions will pop up for you to follow along on the screen.

Using Nissan Door-to-Door Navigation

Nissan Door-to-Door Navigation helps you remember your vehicle’s location once you have parked and can even deliver notifications and a map to help you find your vehicle when it’s time to leave. In order for this feature to work properly, you must ensure that you have Bluetooth connection for your phone turned on under the “Connections” settings of your device, as this will allow them to communicate with each other.

If you’re also having trouble transferring destinations to your device, you can once again turn the Bluetooth off for several moments, then turn it back on, which should fix the issue. If it doesn’t, make sure you’ve properly connected your device to your Nissan model’s Bluetooth.
