Thanks for posting this. I have a question on traffic navigation. I looked at page 134 of the Nav guide to get a basic understanding of the traffic navigation set up. Do all RX Navs come standard and is traffic navigation (like how Waze re-routes you) free of charge?

Navigation is still an option. As for nav traffic and weather, that will now be free, as it is on other new Lexus models - comes via HD Radio instead of satellite. I have the free traffic/weather on my IS and it's much better than having to pay for it through Sirius XM as on my current RX.

Thanks JDR76. Have you compared the traffic performance to smart phone based like Waze? If yes, any thoughts/ impressions? Since Nav is an option, I am debating whether or not to get the Nav as I presume it won't come cheap but I do like the built in elegance and the available larger screen option. For now, I really like the performance of Waze.

It is not as good or capable as Waze, and is very dependent upon your location. I've had great success with the accuracy here in the PNW, but lots of other regions are less fortunate. If you use Waze a lot, you'll likely be disappointed and find the nav system to be an insufficient replacement.

However, I would still get it. We use ours a lot and are happy with it.
