#85 of 144 Problem with Navigation Directions on the Highway by newlexusdriver Dec 30, 2006 (9:47 pm)
Replying to: mdchachi (Dec 02, 2006 9:25 pm) Hi,   I'm a first time Lexus driver and have a question about the navigation system in my 2007 IS250. When I go on the freeway the nav has been telling me to exit off the wrong exit. For example, I was going to 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica the other day and it told me to exit off some exit in downtown LA, which is about 15 miles away from Santa Monica. When I don't exit, it would recalculate and tell me to exit off the following exit until I finally exited at the correct exit. Has anyone experienced this problem? Is this a system issue or is it a user error? Please advise. Thanks!!! Replies to this message: alolewis (Jan 01, 2007 7:42 am) mdchachi (Jan 02, 2007 6:09 am)

Replying to: newlexusdriver (Dec 30, 2006 9:47 pm) My guess would be that the Nav system was giving you directions for what it considered the shortest or fastest route which may not be the route you want. The Nav system uses preset speeds for freeways, surface streets, etc so it calculates freeways at 55 mph when in reality, the freeway may be only going 25 mph. When you don't follow the directions, it calculates a new route which may be reverse to the original route or all together new, depending on which it thinks is quicker/shorter, etc. You may also have input the destination incorrectly as you have to watch which city on places that have the same names, etc. Hope this helps, my NAV system has actually shown me new and better ways to get some places I have been going to for years.

Replying to: newlexusdriver (Dec 30, 2006 9:47 pm) It sounds like you have your Route Preferences set to not use freeways. When you're setting a route press Route Preferences and make sure the Allow Freeways setting is on. If you're already in a route, press the Route on-screen button and select Route Preferences from there.   I just keep all options on all the time. The preferences are persistent so you don't have to set these each time.

Replying to: ajmtbm (Dec 19, 2006 4:32 pm) speed tones allow you to send access codes for things like voice-mail extensions or other calls that require passkey #'s. (EG: you call your office voice-mail system and it asks you to enter your password followed by the # key)that info can be set up and sent as a speed tone.    the directions for setting speedtones were not included with the owners manual. For step by step setup instructions, contact your local dealership's service manager, and ask him/her to get with their shops diag specialist for a copy of the step by step instructions issued to them by the factory.

#90 of 144 New Driver Info on navigation by panoudimi Jan 23, 2007 (5:37 am)
Hi, I recently bought the IS250 2007. I have a blackberry pearl and it works great with the navigation system. I have 2 questions. Where's the DVD player located in the car that holds the map info? and since you can store info is there anyway you can inpuit your own icons or change the Voices?

Replying to: panoudimi (Jan 23, 2007 5:37 am) I think it's behind the console somewhere. Your Navigation operating manual should tell you where it is. There is no way to change icons or voices as far as I know.
#92 of 144 Icons on Navigation System by achan618 Jan 25, 2007 (2:24 pm)
Hi Everyone,     I have a 2007 IS 250 w/navigation. Playing around with the navigation I accidentally put Chinese restaurant, banks and gas station icons on the screen. All of these icons appear wherever I go now if they are in the area. I was wondering how I will be able to delete these icons without deleting my memory points such as my house and work areas. Please advise! Thanks!   Andy Replies to this message: ajmtbm (Jan 25, 2007 5:45 pm) achan618 (Jan 29, 2007 11:53 am) mdchachi (Jan 28, 2007 8:37 pm)

Replying to: achan618 (Jan 25, 2007 2:24 pm) using voice activation, say "Hide all icons" Replies to this message: achan618 (Jan 29, 2007 11:53 am)

Replying to: achan618 (Jan 25, 2007 2:24 pm) Press Map View (bottom of map screen), then Display POI Icon, and press Delete. (This has no effect on your personal memory points.)
