Basky2004 Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Guys, I had bought a es 300 last May with the dvd navigation system and i am simply thrilled with it. Works great in Texas and i even drove to St Louis and the navigation system guided me every mile of the way. I now intend to drive to Ottawa, Canada and wanted to know if the navigation system will work there. I tried inputting the address and the system did recognize it and i could also take a look at the route overview. I have heard someone saying that the dvd navigation system goes blank as soon as it crosses the border into Canada. Wondering if someone used it in Canada and how it works there. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amf1932 Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 If the area you tried to input has been developed recently, the information(Address & Street) wouldn't be on the DVD's database that was originally installed on your car. They came out with an updated DVD about October 2003. Also, did you change the "Zone" to the area you were looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basky2004 Posted April 20, 2004 Author Share Posted April 20, 2004 Oh Yes! i did change the zone location to Can and the system immediately recognized the address and i was able to preview the entire route i am supposed to take. Wow!! My question still however remains 'Has anyone ever used it in Canada and did it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amf1932 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 It worked fine when I programmed it to go from New York City to Montreal & Quebec. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 If programmed correctly, you should have no problem when travelling to our Nation's capital in Ottawa Ontario (not Ottawa, Canada lol you wouldn't say Houston, America would ya? ;) ). It's a fairly large city with over a million people. Have fun! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
