420benz Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 How does the Lexus Nav. syst. compare to my Garmin Nuvii?
SW03ES Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 It depends on what you are used to. I much prefer the Lexus system to Garmin's system...but some others disagree...
pj8708 Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 420benz- Can you narrow your request down a bit? I have a Garmin Nuvi and Lexus Nav, but without some specific questions we could be here all day. Paul

Is the map always on the screen?

Paul OK Is it voice activated? If so does it name the streets turn by turn? Is the map always on the screen? The ES350 Nav is voice activated like the Garmin 855 Nuvi, but better. The Lexus has significantly more commands available such as lowering and raising the cabin temp, and Bluetooth commands. The Lexus Nav can also add new destinations as your driving using voice commands. One thing to note, the voice recognition can be sensitive to different voices. Yes, it tells you the name of the upcoming street and which direction to turn; left or right. It will also show you which lane to be in. After the turn it tells you the distance to the next turn and the name of that street. You may choose to have one of several map types on the screen at all times, or you can alternate between other screens such as audio, climate, or traffic/weather info (by subscription). Hope this is helpful.
SW03ES Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Bear in mind though, thats the 2010 system, the '08 has a different system. I don't know if it announces street names...
