Thanks for all the help. It looks as if I will be purchasing a GPS and placing it right in the middle of my Navi screen -- How dumb does that look :0) ?!?! I'm with you, laviticus, my wife will not be happy about that either ... But what can you do but deal with it!
Rob, I am a Soldier stationed in Germany. I own a 2007 IS 350 and have the same problem that you will have once you transfer here to Germany. I have been unable to find a DVD with German road maps that are compatible for my navi. I have been told by a dealership here that the required American specs DVDs do not exsist. I have further been told by the German dealer that I could purchase a German Navi for my car for around 2,500 Euro, however, he could not garantee that it would function properly in my car. I was recently in Las Vegas where I inquired at a Lexus dealership and was told that it would cost $17,000.00 to have the European Navi installed into my car there. I find it baffling that Lexus has not been able to or refuses to assist in this increasingly annoying problem. As it stands now, I am looking for a Garmin or Tom-Tom that I can attach to the screen of my navi to help me get around Europe. Senseless, right!! Oh and BTW my wife is furious!!!!!
