Detour Feature is cool
I've had my car for 9 months now and just found this. I left work and needed to meet someone...I knew the general location, but not the address so after plugging it into the nav I found myself on the 55 north leaving the Newport area which sux azz at rush hour for those of you who know it.
I hit 'routes' and found the 'detour' button, I detoured the 'whole trip' and found myself completely lost on random, unknown side roads, but i got there faster than that grid lock would have done me.
I don't use my nav as much as I'd like so I was stoked about this.
Nothing to see here..keep moving along.

I used this feature the other week. I was trying to get home from work, but there was a big ammonia spill on a major highway here, and they had EVERYTHING blocked off. I just pressed destination 'home', and selected 5 mile detour. It took me through random back streets and got me around the blockage like a dream. Pretty rad.

As long as there is a detour it can figure out. I'm about 50% successful with it so far.

I've seen this feature but haven't tried it.
.....for those that don't have the OEM, don't feel bad....I think the Garmin NUVI works waaaaay better/simpler. I haven't gotten lost with the great Lexus nav, but the maps were totally wrong/inaccurate while trying to go to a buddy's house that's been there for at least 2 years.
Not to mention the ridiculous restrictions on the Lexus Nav
Still like the OEM look tho.
