I've seen this question come up a few times. Enough so that it made me go look for info. And I found a few things.
1. Hyundai partnered with the Broadcaster Traffic Consortium (BTC) for weather and traffic data. Source: http://www.insideradio.com/free/hyu...cle_42fa8e26-ad14-11e6-836b-8f5509111955.html
2. That consortium has a website that hasn't been updated in years. You can go there for map coverage, but it's clearly out of date. The website is http://www.radiobtc.com/
3. The BTC represents multiple radio groups in the US and Canada. It's impossible to find out who, since the website is so outdated. I do find press releases alluding to 23 groups being part of the consortium. Personal experience: I get data when listening to HD FM radios that are part of the iHeartMedia group (formerly Clear Channel) in my area of the country.
4. The BTC has nothing to do with the traffic and weather data itself. It acts as a representative for all the radio groups. And the BTC has an agreement with a company called HERE (formerly a Nokia company, and Navteq before that). They're the ones providing the data to the radios in the BTC. And HERE does provide a coverage map (although that assumes there is a radio station that is part of the BTC in the areas where they do have coverage): https://coverage.here.com/
TL;DR version: check https://coverage.here.com/ to see if there's weather and traffic data coverage in your area. Clearly many areas in the country are not covered. That explains why the Palisade manual states that these features only work in some areas. And keep in mind that you have to be tuned to a radio station that carries that data (at least, that's my understanding), even in an area that has coverage.
