Default Navigation Screen Question

Is there a way to have digital time continuously showing in the navigation system while driving?

I am assuming that since no one responded that this is not possible to do. I was hoping there might be another source for the time besides the analog clock.

Not possible, only source of time is the analog clock.

Bad design decision.

The TCH is feeling like a better choice for a techie than the ES300h.

I would think that something like this would be very easy for Lexus to do - as they continuously upgrade the nav system.

Even after owning the car for several months I tend to look at the nav screen to check the time before thinking "oh yeah, the clock is down below". Even though it would be redundant, I too would like to see the time displayed on the nav screen.

I mean...yeah I'd prefer a digital clock...but its a clock. I wouldn't let a clock make my decision about which car to purchase. There is absolutely no comparison between a Camry and an ES...regardless of what kind of clock the Camry has. Lexus has never had a clock inside the nav system, its just the dash clock has always been digital.

They upgrade the maps, but they never provide upgrades for the system's functionality. You're going to have to learn to live with the clock.
