#18 of 36 Re: Toyota Navigation vs. Garmin [valleygirl2] by gagrice May 23, 2008 (6:49 pm)
Replying to: valleygirl2 (May 10, 2008 6:59 am) The Toyota navigation system is real disappointment.   I fully agree. The Nav in our $51k Sequoia Limited is inferior to other systems. I have complained to the dealer and gotten the so sorry we cannot help you from them. It is a $2000 wasted add-on in my opinion. My complaint is missing stores and poor routing. The database for businesses is very poorly designed. You may have 10 different lists for the same name. Several people have told me how much better the Garmin portable unit are. And they are a fraction of the price. I will not waste the money on an update. Who needs more lousy information? Replies to this message: fseaver (Sep 01, 2008 2:59 pm)

Does anyone know if you can use the DVD from the Prius navigation system in the Lexus 2004 ES330 Navigation system?

Westchester Toyota's Parts Department (Yonkers, NY) gave me a price of $1,000 for a new GPS disk for my '05 Prius. I laughed. Long and loud. Replies to this message: prusa (Sep 01, 2008 6:06 am)

Replying to: joannabob (Sep 01, 2008 4:04 am) My windshield glass had to be replaced and the Toyota Parts Department gave me a price of $1,000.00. I laughed, too. The total cost at a glass replacement store near by was $185.00 including the installment. I drive a 2008 Touring PK6 and should of have bought a PKG 4. The navigation system was a waste of money. I sometimes need to go to map quest to get a second opinion for locating addresses. Leather well... it was my first car with leather seats. PRUSA

#23 of 36 Does Version 7.1 Provide a Nightime Screen? by agdoc1 Oct 17, 2008 (6:24 pm)
I just finished a 1650 mile trip. A significant portion of that was in rainy darkness on roads which the GPS system selected rather than the ones I normally would have chosen.   I was not able to have the map display showing when it was rainy and dark because it only has a bright Daytime display. The instruction manual says it should automatically switch to Night mode when the headlights go on. It does not. The software says that if I want to have running lights on during the day I can select that option from a software button on the display screen. That button does not exist.   I called Toyota national help number while I was out of town but all the highest level help they could give was to say I read the manual correctly and they would forward a case number to my dealership for when I got home.; I got home and was told "come back tomorrow" as early as you can because this will take our highest level tech to sort out. So I have to get up at 7 AM Saturday and take my car in to see what happens.   Anyone else note the absence of a Nighttime Screen on version 7.1?   P.S. What is with the habit it has of making you go in circles? Some roads I have traveled for 50 years and it wants to divert blocks out of the way and back again when the highway signs through small downtown areas take you straight ahead and Always Have.

Replying to: agdoc1 (Oct 17, 2008 6:24 pm) Do you have your instrument panel lights turned up to maximum?   That will cause the screen to remain in the daytime mode.
#25 of 36 Night mode by Wool948 Jan 13, 2009 (6:22 am)
I accidently set my nav. screen to day mode, which is memorized in the system, I'm having a tough time getting back to nightmode. Does anyone one out there knows how to do that. Much appreciated. Replies to this message: agdoc1 (Jan 13, 2009 12:58 pm) Wool948 (Jan 13, 2009 4:03 pm)

Replying to: Wool948 (Jan 13, 2009 6:22 am) Day mode is can be set by having your headlights on and having the dash lights turned all the way up to maximum. It is intended for driving with the lights on in the day. If you turn your dashboard light intensity down it assumes you are driving at night and switches to night mode.   If you have the dash light thumbwheel turned all the way up and clicked into maximum it removes the "daylight mode" from your screen options when using the navigation controls.   That's the only problem.
