No way around it I'm afraid. I actually did get rid of my 2005 XLE Limited AWD and replaced it with a 2006 Odyssey Touring. The Honda is a much nicer vehicle and more powrful too with more interior space and a sportier ride.

Interesting.... I ended up doing the same thing -- got rid of my Sienna and opted for a Honda. Unfortunately, I'm not too keen on the remote control of the Odyssey. I think it's not as responsive as the Sienna. But I have a 2005 Odyssey Touring. Anyway, thanks for your email. Oh, BTW, a friend did find the work around, but it involves removing the nav system and doing some re-wiring work. Something that voids any warranty, I'm sure!

One thing you can do is go to Map View and turn icons on/off for things like restaurants and gas stations and then view the icons on the map, clicking each one to see what it is or to set it as a destination. In the Setup menu, the icons in the Map View popup are customizable to the POI cateories that you prefer (for example I've replaced Parks with Post Offices).

I would suggest using the Navigation Quick Reference Guide and view the Camry Navigation tutorial at:
http://toyotaiguide.com/iGuide_Camry.htm
The navigation units look different on the exterior but they operate exactly the same. I really found this site to be pretty good. Look for the navigation link at the bottom left hand corner after it loads the webpage.
Lastly, V6.1 will be released in January of 2007.

No maps for Puerto Rico at this time. It's gonna be a couple of years until the map data is available. Same goes for Mexico, Alaska and Hawaii too.

hello wavier, there may be a solution. i see that kenwood aftermarket navigations now has gps dvd maps with puerto rico on it. so you take the 2006 dvd map and burn the beginning firmware onto blank disc with dual layer dvd recorder. then you burn the kenwood map data on the rest of the dvd . so when you put in dvd it will be recognized by the headunit. i know the concept works because the 5th generation 2007 6.1 sienna update dvd has eliminated the override button that allows changes to destination while driving. industrious owners who wanted the updated maps of the 2007 update burned the 2006 firmware and the 2007 map data and it worked. they still have the override button but have the 2007 maps. the 2 original discs have to be purchased and the copies are only for the use of the owner of the 2 original discs to keep out of trouble with the copyright detectives. the only problem are the kenwood map files recognized by the toyota headunit. the lexus discs were of course of the same system so it wasn't a problem. i hope that helps. there are gps maps of puerto rico available from many manufacturers just not toyota yet.

Setting/Correcting the Time on the GPS

Greetings! It's great when I put in a distance and the GPS indicates that the location is so many miles away. However, I'm trying to figure out what the estimated time arrival is based upon. I found the location to adjust the speed on various types of road. My question is - is the estimated arrival time based on REAL time? If so, is there a way to set that time? It doesn't appear to be related to the time on the clock by which you can change with the little buttons near the radio. Thanks!!

It's based on real time (after calculating based on distance and those road speed settings). The GPS signal sends out the exact time so you should never have to set the navigation clock. If the time seems off then probably you don't have the time zone or daylight savings time setting set correctly. Go to Menu > Settings > Time Zone.

well the 2004 sienna's battery is very poor. try to scoot the front passenger as far up as possible and then if you check under the seat from behind, you will see a black DVD player. on the left side slide open a screen then push the button. it will eject the navigation CD and maybe you can reload the map stuff. then slide in closed and put the disc back in. you will need to have the key in.
