Gunner45 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 On a recent roadtrip, the numero uno Lexus nav system put us on a back road, told us to make a turn, then said "navigation has ended". Wonderful. Got the Nuvi out and made our way to the destination w/o Lexus yaking at us. Called and got a "free" upgrade. I'm wondering if it's hard to install, or just pop in the disk and go. Garmin upgrades are easy, so what's Lexus got in store for me? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexus coverage is not as extensive as the Garmin. It depends on where you live. Follow this link to determine if the upgrade expands your coverage area. Good you got a free upgrade though. http://www.lexusnavigation.com/map.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner45 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Thanks for the info. Will accept the dealer's offer to upgrade free and will continue to download lifetime map updates on the Garmin. I always have it on my motorcycle for MP3 playback, so it gets daily use and has lasted for 3 years without a hickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep that Nuvi in the glove compartment for those occasions when you hear the words "turn by turn guidance will not be provided." Again, it depends on where you live. I hear it often. Others rarely hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
