However, it is not a necessity when there are so many other non-OEM navigation options available like Tom-Tom or smart phones.

I personally just like being able to just plug in a route using the large in-dash navigation screen and having the turn by turn play through the car speakers.
Since posting last I bought a new RX350 need to add it to my postings i guess..
Tonight on a 75 mile trip on a long curvy very dark highway and in heavy rain, Headlights barely cutting the glum, wondering where the hydroplaning might occur, The 2015 RX350 GPS was a God send. Setting the screen on close view, was able to see the curves as we approached them. Was I glad to have paid the extra for GPS then,,, YOU BET... Sure you phone works,, But not near as hands free, and the Garmins would have blocked some of the vision and seeing the edge of the road white lines... Yeah,, Wet pavement in driving rain at night closes down the field of vision, a bunch.
