Yup. Definitely take a look. I "think" I'm in the $99 group. Woot! It's been four years since the last update.

I'm sorry Lou. I should have said since MY system last update. Lol. Hopefully when I do get it the system doesn't crash with all the data dumped into it. He he.
This brings me to a side note on the Mercedes that I've been driving on loan. That Navy unit displays gas stations near you as you drive. Nice touch.

I have a 2010 IS250, so my vehicle needs the HD update from the dealer.
I currently have the 09 maps. Will there be any software changes? I know the newer IS maps have an icon on the map screen that goes right to the weather information through XM.
And, this can only be done by the dealer, right?

^^^^I think I'll pass this year. For navigation I use my phone and the Google Maps and Navigation Apps. I find them a lot better than the Lexus Navigation.
Hiowever, a couple of years ago, I was out in the middle of the desert on my way Las Vegas, and my phone lost connection to a tower. I tried the in car Navigation, and wouldn't you know, it took me the wrong way

I use the maps but I rarely type in an address. One of the first times I tried, it routed wrong. I already knew where I was going, I just wanted to try it. I drove the route I knew and when I got close it had me going far out of my way because it couldn't figure out how to take on off ramp to get to ... wait for it... the Lexus dealership.

Why does Lexus’ map updates cost as much as some handheld GPS devices
Lexus sources its map information from more than one supplier. Additionally, Lexus validates the information it obtains for its annual updates. Many suppliers of handheld devices do not go through a validation process.
Looks like someone is sitting on their **** during the verification process and is pencil whipping the verification. Seriously? Can't find it's wah to a Lexus dealership? Wow.
