When I read all of this, I'm glad I didn't get and pay extra for the NAV option when I purchased my 2019 ES350 F-Sport. Some may say it increases the cars resale value. True. But, I paid less for the car so it kind of equals out. But the important point is with navigation so easy to use on iPhones and Androids, why use the cumbersome vehicle NAV that becomes outdated and requires paying for updates? Fancy to have but a useless waste of money option.

I see your point mikemu30 but I guess it comes down to how you define a luxury car. I paid 39,700 + tax for my car - new (not demo) back in September of 2019. The dealer was full of ES inventory then. That price is not a far stretch from a loaded V6 Camry. If I was buying a car in the 60K or over range, yes, NAV is a requirement. Heck, power side mirrors were not available that year. LOL

Unfortunately, the FAQ page still doesn't state whether there is a need to install periodic map updates. With "Dynamic Map," it will receive cloud-based map updates over the air. So my question is this, if I keep the service once the complimentary period ends, is there any reason I would ever need to purchase an annual update?
If the map data has been provided from the Lexus Enform center for any of the following areas and the map data in the system is older than what has been provided, the displayed map will be updated temporarily:
- Areas around the area displayed on the map screen (example: areas around current position)
- Areas around destinations
- Areas along the set route
- ● The updated data will temporarily be saved in the system.
- ● If temporary update data exceeds the available memory in the temporary map cache, the oldest data will be deleted.
- ● The temporary map data will disappear when the expiration date has passed
The manuals for ESs produced up to September 2019 has the following on temporary data expiration date on the Map data screen but has been eliminated in newer versions:
D Expiration date of temporary updates of the map and a route from the Lexus Enform center. When “***” is displayed for the expiration date, the validity period has not yet been set for the service. The validity period will be set auto- matically. Map updates are avail- able even before the period is set.

There's an expiration date on the dynamic (i.e., temporary) navigation update data. From the 2019 LEXUS ES 350 Navigation and Multimedia System Owner's Manual on page 112 in the "Temporary updates of the map" section:
Newer versions of the manual have the same text but the page number location varies by a page or so.
The manuals for ESs produced up to September 2019 has the following on temporary data expiration date on the Map data screen but has been eliminated in newer versions:
