Default Weather map

If you have Navigation there is a selection inside "weather" to view a weather map. No matter how many times I try all I get is a screen telling me it is "down loading data", but I never see the map. Anyone know how to view the map?

Works, or doesn't in your case, in conjunction with HD Radio or app on your cell phone. See below post for some assistance. There may be other posts available. Just use the search box and search "weather".

Mine has never worked. All my Enform apps work just fine. But the weather app has never worked.

If I'm downtown I can get it to work pretty reliably through HD Radio on it's own. Anywhere else and I need to have the Lexus Enform App Suite running on my phone and my phone connected to the system. The map uses the App Suite on your phone when it can't get the data through HD Radio.

It's a pretty cool feature but I wish it could be a true overlay on the nav system and that it could show the storms in motion rather than just being a static map. If I wanted to take my IS storm chasing I would need A LOT better system than what the weather map offers.
