Address Lookup
Hello, this is my first post, and as usual, is a request for help. Could one of you gentlemen with the 13.1 or 14.1 updates tell me which of the following streets show up on your systems? I don't want to buy it if it doesn't show at least my street:
padstone dr, apex, NC
Salem Village Dr, apex, NC
I only need the street to show up, don't care if my exact door number shows up yet. I currently have the 12.1 update and its not terrible, but not too great either. My local dealer wants 105 for 14.1.....which I think is pretty fair compared to the ridiculous 200+ that Lexus has asked for these updates in the past.
On a related note, is it just me who finds it incredibly mind-boggling that none of the manufacturers provide an address lookup feature based on map versions? Would make the purchasing decision so much easier. sigh.....

Hello all.
So yes the DVD map is down to $100.00
I went to my dealership in Pembroe Pines and they said it was a charge of $69 because they had to program it.
Does that make sense? It seems everyone here just put the new disc in. I have a 08 GS350. Did they really just try to rip me off?

Dealerships charge a standard 1/2 hr charge for nav disc update. As pointless as it may seem, they basically change the discs and ensure that all systems, including the disc itself, are still working post-update. I guess its a fair price for a hands-off update experience for owners who need it.

The cars gps is useless once u start using the gps in your smartphone.
It takes forever inputting an address and is not intuitive enough to auto complete a destination search. U will also have to stop your car every time u want to do anything with the gps.
