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.
So I guess based on that after the 3 years of Drive Connect the '24 LC Lexus nav will prompt you for a subscription just as the on-board Apple/Amazon Music Apps do.

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.

These subscription based services are killing me.
What’s next? Your 100k+ car will need monthly plan to start it?

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”.
In reading this thread, what stuck with me was, MA has re-numbered their exit numbers. I found it funny, and I'm sure there was a good reason, but I still think it's funny.

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.

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.

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.

Brings back one of many horror memories of the New Jersey Turnpike for me, weekly drives from the Delaware Memorial Bridge to the Holland Tunnel. ~100 miles, only 14 exits each sequentially numbered.

I have to amend my earlier post. I was recently in upstate New York and discovered that they are in the process of renumbering their exits to match the rest of the country! It's about time.
