Is it possible to enter in multiple addresses and then have the nav system sort thru them for the most logical order of destination? I am a real estate agent, and often I have clients who are looking for homes. I would like to be able to enter 5-10 destinations and shuffle the order around so I'm not backtracking back and forth. Is this possible? Please let me know....

Thanks.

The NAV keeps 10 previous addresses. You can just choose the Previous Destination option and select the address one by one. Unfortunately it won't give you the "logical" order you want.

Or you can mark each destination with an icon. Then view them on the screen and choose your next destination that way. Remove the icon once the house is sold.

The Nav system on the '04 RX 330 allows you to pre-program up to 100 destinations, plus your home and up to five "direct access" destinations. When planning a route, you select these destinations or any other addresses, POI's, etc, you wish to enter - in order - and the sftw will calculate the route between them. No, the software will not "route" you, calculating the most efficient course, but then that's probably best. The Nav system has no local knowledge, no awareness of traffic or construction, and only limited insight into average speed by road type. For routing, try www.mapsonus.com for free maps and most efficient routing. Enter the sequence of destinations into your Nav, and you're on your way.

While my Nav will get me to any destination, it sometimes takes a rather obtuse route, and being a little mule-headed about its selection. I recommend you shut off the voice navigator - she will talk your ear off if you deviate from her prescribed course.

If you travel to unfamiliar destinations on a semi-regular basis, the system - somewhat limited though it may be - can be a lifesaver, safely plotting your course to unfamiliar destinations even at night or in bad weather. I wouldn't be without it. I had used a laptop, software, and GPS antenna in my 300, and while its planning features were far more flexible, the "dead reckoning" capability of the RX's Nav gets the nod for use in urban canyons or deep woods where satellite signals can be iffy.
