Replying to: amauhry (Oct 31, 2008 6:41 am) '08 Limited Why you are so accepting of a grossly unsatisfactory system baffles me. Do you work for Toyota or are they paying you to campaign for them? To have paid the absurd price for a system that doesn't compare favorably with over the counter systems selling in the $300 range and still be enamored with the inferior overpriced system tells me that your reasoning has some other factor affecting it.

Replying to: generose (Oct 31, 2008 7:06 am) I make a living dealing and solving difficult things on paper and out in the field. With this, I tell you that the Avalon's GPS is a bit cumbersome whereas most portable units dominating the market are not. Therefore this is a MINUS for Toyota. Although I have found most if not all the capabilities of the Avalon's GPS that does not necesseraly mean that I'm in love with it. And, no, I do not work for Toyota. My paycheck comes from a totally different institution. Amaury '08 Limited |

| One small complaint -- The clock in the Avalon with nav gets its time from the GPS system. Daylight Savings Time has ended, but the GPS time did not change. I had to change the time on my clock manually. | |
| Does anyone know if the 09 map disk is available and if it is an improvement on the 06 version?? | |
If you gathered all the idiots in the world in one place and told them to design a navigation system what they would come up with is now on the Toyota Avalon.

| I finally had it up to here with the nav system. I purchased a Garmin Nuvi 750 and it's fantastic! User friendly, accurate and dependable. I hate to think of the expensive piece of junk that sits unused behind my dash now, but that's too bad. | |

We have a new '09 Avalon with Navigation. I drove the car in the dark for the first time and expected that the Nav screen would darken. Not so. It remained in Day mode and I had to turn the screen off as it was distracting. The manual tells how to set the screen to Day mode all the time but does NOT tell how to undo this feature unless I have missed it. The car was a demonstrator and I guess someone may have set this or we may have done so inadvertently. How do I retrieve the setting where the screen darkens when driving at nite? Thks, Russ
