I have a chromebook, and have had chromebooks for sometime.
But they lack the functionality when it comes to updates on other devices i.e My Kona electric gave me a message to say map updates are available to download, but can only be done via windows or mac.... only other option is making an appointment at the dealer for them to do it
Can anyone recommend a cheap solution just so i can get these updates done at home?
For the Hyundai it states min requirement is Windows 10/11 32/64 bit. or macOS x 10.10 -
Hard disk drive greater than 1GB
Many Thanks

If not, you can get one in CEX do the download and return in 2 weeks...

If you want a decent one to keep, let us know the budget.
By the way, do you not have a friend live nearby that can lend you a laptop?

What Chromebook have you got?
You can install windows on it if you want to give up chrome os. Google it yourself (edited)

I didn't go as far as checking, but presumed downloading a program to the library computers hard drive would not be allowed.... i should really check that.
Alternatively drop me a DM with your address and I’ll get a USB drive with the update files in the post if you don’t mind waiting a week or two given the current strike delays. Let me know the exact model year and trim too so I know which version you’ll need. I assume it’s Gen5W unless it’s a very old Kona. But always worth checking to make sure you’re getting the right version.
I've been thinking about a laptop for sometime, the map update was the final straw and great excuse to convince the missus i need one.
Appreciate your offer to send it in the post, but really want a laptop, even if it is for updates on various devices, etc.
The kona nav is Gen5w, i have a 71 plate ultimate.
I've seen a screen shot of some of the new graphics from the update, looks a lot more comprehensive then just updating map data.
Thanks again for your offer.
WINE is normally for Linux, but thats no problem because Chromebboks can run Linux.
Once you get WINE installed and running you then simply use it to get your map updates as if you were using windows. This is a good guide

It's currently in the car updating....
I think the file is all the same for 2020~
My chromebook is overkill with an i7 processor and 16gb ram. Got it for £247 in amazon sale.
I don't mind spending around £100 for 2nd hand, budget for new around £300
Would like one to keep, doubt for the budget I would get better than my chromebook, if so happy to sell chromebook and switch to laptop. (edited)
It's a big download.
It's a good update.
Can use full screen now and the graphics are nicer. (edited)
There’s 2 major updates every year. May and November. Check out update.hyundai.com at the end of every May and November to ensure both your maps and infotainment are kept up to date and running at their best.
