Default How to send address from iphone to Navigation unit?

First time poster here. I am considering buying either a 2019 IS or 2020 IS (when it comes out).

A must-have functionality for me though is the ability to send multiple addresses from my iphone (or computer) to the IS navigation system. I am in the real estate business and I need to do this on an almost daily basis. It’s just too cumbersome to enter multiple addresses directly to the unit. The model year 2021 is not an option (timing issues and I don’t want to buy a first year model).

Anyone here actually able to do this with their IS today? I would appreciate your input.

I use Lexus Enform app on the phone where you can search for a destination on a map then it goes to Saved Destination. You can then retrieve this address in Saved Destination in the car. It’s not automatic you have to do this manually in the car unfortunately.

Thank you for the info. Is the system reliable? How long it take for the address that you sent to show up in the navi unit?

Yes it’s very reliable I use it all the time. Once you enter the address in Saved Destination on the phone it’s a matter of downloading the address from App in the car

Destination Search, through the Enform app, is by far the easiest way to enter addresses in my experience, though I have an Android phone. Once you have the address, you can also save it as a preset in the nav system.

Thanks again. Just wondering if anyone here can confirm the Enform app is available in Canada? I checked the Apple appstore only Enform 2.0 is available for download, and it says its not supported on the IS.

Wow. That’s a deal killer for me then. Unless the 2020 model supports Apple Carplay which looks highly unlikely.
