Default How to send an address to NAV system?

Hi all.

Had my car for almost 2 years and barely used navigation system for directions because of how painful it is to enter a destination. Since I'm in Canada we don't get enform... any other way to send a destination to the car?

Thanks.

Do you have eDestinations on your nav in Canada? That's one way to send them to your car from the computer.

I believe eDestination is one of Enform's feature.

Voice command understands "Peter" as "Mike"... because hey, they sound alike. Phone navigation is so much more intuitive, it's just a shame because I like the interface on the F-Sport cluster.

Hi
You may try to use https://customerportal.lexus-europe.com/login/index.html
Or similar for your region.
On mentioned web page is a route planner with an option to plan your trip at pc and export it via usb stick to Lexus nav.
I didn't try this yet :/

Step 1: Download Lexus Enform App on your phone.
Step 2: Look up or enter your destination / address.
Step 3: Save your destination / address. Confirm address is in "Saved Destination"
Step 4: In your car, click on "Menu". Go to Lexus App Suite. Click on "Saved Destination"
Step 5: You will get a pop-up on the screen "Would you like to sync new saved destinations". Say "Yes"
Step 6: Click on Address to Navigate.
Step 7: Thank me. ..... you're welcome.

Edit: ....and, you can do all this even while the car is moving.

On 2015 and newer you can go to Nav/Dest/Web and transfer addresses that you
looked up in Bing or Yelp
