NAV system map updates
I'm at my dealer getting my 35000 mile service. I asked if they could up date the map database while I was here. The service writer said he would check on it. I have a 2017 ES-350 and bought in Nov. 2016.
The service writer just let me know the next update is not until Oct. 2019. I know there are some mistakes on the presen database. Is there a way I can check to find out the what the latest map database is?

The new Gen8 maps are out - I had my 2015 ES300h updated over the weekend... it had the original 2014 maps on it. The date on the new map is 2018-06-01. Cost was $282 ($212 for the maps and $70 for 1/2 hr. labor).

For $282.00 I'd buy a new Garmin portable with lifetime maps, touchscreen, voice activation, and traffic reports. Outrageous price for a map update...

That much to load a map file onto a msd card and slide it in the slot? Robbery.

It is a blatant ripoff, and I am sure I won't do it, but I have never liked portable GPS's compared to the big built in screen.

Seriously though. Almost $300 for a map update. I wouldnt pay more than $100. That really is a RIP off. Honestly not worth it.

When we got my wife's Kia Sportage we got 3 map updates to be used within 5 years for $99. Download to the SD card and update yourself. Easy Peasy. Why o why Lexus can't (or doesn't want to) make it so easy is beyond me. I probably won't ever update my maps. I have a Garmin with lifetime map updates and voice recognition that I take on long trips.
