LS460 Navigation
Am I the only one that can't find address and think my updated navigation sucks to the max? I updated my navigation to the current version about a month ago. During that time I have noticed that sometimes I'm on a street and the nav is either somewhere else close or the refresher is slow. Anyway, i have tried to use the nav to get to two places I know excist and are not new construction. The unit can not find the address. What's up with pos. Do I need to carry my iPhone or garmin nuvi everywhere I go?

Yeah, the navigation has been about the only real disappointment I have experienced with my LS. I don't think the lady who provides the guidance on my navigation could find the toilet even if she was sitting on it. If I enter a correct telephone number, it provides me with a location 1000 miles away on most occasions.

When I do a seach for a specific POI, it gives me locations in Florida and other SE states and none in Atlanta where I live. I have no problems with it when I enter a specific address - it actually is pretty fast and accurate. It is pretty much useless when using the POI's search feature.

From experience, I've come to notice the updates are not really up to date. They are usually made with data that is atleast a year old by the time the update is published. Fujitsu Tein who makes Eclipse head units, is who makes the one in the LS. I own an eclipse h/u in my Maxima, and usually when I buy the disk, it is already a year and a half old.

HAve done everything more than once........tried addresses in different formats, yes im in the correct state and region and yessssssss this still sucks............and not worth the upgrade charge of over 325.00. Dont used it very much but would like to know its there and not have to used the IPHONE or Garmin.
