I was trying to find an urgent care center and programed in the address. For these instructions, we will show how you can search by Name. Navigation kept turning off, resetting radio settings, etc. Fortunately, I checked Google Maps before starting and figured it out. Well, it is not so bad. If multiple matching items are found, a selection screen will be displayed.
The gps on Ford is superior to Highlander. But it turns out that the navigation system is very poor anyway outside of major metropolitan areas. Without passing the calibration test, the occupant sensing system may not operate as designed. Is possible they are much better now, but if I'm gonna invest money in something that is gonna be an in dash android auto unit. Now that I know so many people are complaining about the problems I am having I wonder if a class action suit may have to be started to resolve these issues.
Historically, vehicle manufacturers and distributors have charged a separate fee for processing, handling and delivering vehicles to dealerships. I was assuming after all of these years and with all of the technology advancements, it would be a lot better. Scrolled all over the Nav system and no where could I find 101 Hannon Crescent Ontario. And unlike Apple maps, there is no way that I have seen to report a miss-marked address. You will notice that for yourself if you take a look.
Also, the builtin usb port does not supply enough current to charge well. The vehicle nav screen was then used to display music. Rear passenger door locked and could not be unlocked unless it was done manually. As I do not have any buttons on my steering wheel, I thought I can use a voice navigation to control my music and my text messages. Home, preset destinations, address book entries, areas to avoid can be set as memory points. Toyota definitely missed the mark with the nav system in the Highlander. I have all of the problems described above and more.
The short version is that we went in with high hopes, but were somewhat underwhelmed. Have also experienced the connection difficulties with the phone. It is no safer having the lockout while moving as to trying to use the voice recognition. In this system, you are limited to just the major cities already put in the system. Just go into the settings, Navigation to turn it on. So if you were travelling how would you even know what the closest town to the address is? A gps is a tool we paid good money for. If so, what are they? I have talked with a Electronics tech who physically witness this issue and agreed that we should try the latest software update.
No matter what the outcome is: it was definitely my last Toyota. Which I have to replace with a Garmin as far as I am concerned! Using a older Garmin along with my Android phone there was no hesitation finding those locations. I have a Ford F250 Platinum 2017 and if you make a wrong turn it will guide you the shortest route back to where you want to go…It is great…. Toyota needs to step up to the plate and get this right for all their customers. Check your Data coverage in your Nav. I wish I had stood my ground and gotten rid of it for the chilled seats.

As everyone else has said, we had to revert to our phone to find our way. Next time it might turn on fine. If you already have a disc, and want to update your map information you should purchase a disc that is newer than your current model year. I live my Rav4 2016, but the gps sucks! The lag time is so bad I pass the destination. In our example, your choice should be a 2008 , 2009, 2010 , 2011 or newer disc. The system will not set up messaging.
