Lexus Generation 12 Nav was introduced for model year 2022 LX / NX then 2023 ES / LS / RX / RZ / UX and 2024 GX / LC / TX
Gen 12 is Cloud Navigation meaning that there are NO embedded maps built into the vehicle and all map data is delivered over the cloud.
Three-year trial included with the big screen, zero trial included with the base sized screen. $15/month if you subscribe through the Lexus App.

I just hope when this happens that on startup the car will default to Carplay or AA view. Today it defaults to Lexus map screen most of the time on startup, though sometimes it will bring up AA directly. I don't know what rhyme or reason, but it's first-world annoying having to change it every time.

Thanks.
MA just recently re-numbered all the exit numbers on the interstates. Let me see if my 2015/2016/2017 Lexus still has the old numbers.
Really doesn’t matter though as I find those Navi are pretty much useless and use google maps on my phone. Someday I will shell out the $750 and get Beatsonic S connect on one of them but there’s always that “I don’t know how long I’m going to keep this car for”.

MA was one of the few states that had random exit numbers. They finally synced up with most states where the exit numbers are the mile marker on that interstate. For example, exit number 5 on I-95 would be 5 miles where the I-95 starts. It used to be some random number.

Oh wow! Would have driven me with my OCD crazy. Not everything bothers me, but exits with mile marker numbers would be up there, lol.

Also, if the exits are numbered strictly sequentially and you add a new exit to the freeway, you have to renumber the entire interstate. However, if the exits are based on the mile markers, adding a new exit to the freeway does nothing to the other exit numbers.
I know New York numbers their exits sequentially, but most states number them according to the mile markers.

Having exists syncing with the mile markers makes more sense, for a couple of reasons. First, you know exactly how far you have to drive to get from one exit to another. For example, if you enter the freeway at Exit 13 and you leave the freeway at Exit 52, you have 39 miles to drive. If the exits are numbered strictly sequentially, and you enter at Exit 5 and you leave at Exit 12, you have no idea how far you have to drive.
