Navigation update
I got the email that my 2011 GX navigation update is available for the discounted price of $99. Went to the local dealer which said that they have to download the update onto the USB drive which takes about 2 hours and $200 from my in addition to the price above. Is that correct? I thought the Nav update could be done by the owner?

The Thumb Drive cost $185 and the installation was $208. It took 2 hours including the time it took them to wash the car.

@jtrue28, The map being microSD based is only for 2014+ models (and all other Toyota vehicles equipped with gen 8 navigation systems). The gen 6 navigation system (2010-2013) is not microSD based, rather it is hard drive based, and the map updates have to be loaded via USB using TIS Techstream. I do not know how updating the maps on gen 8 systems works.
