We have only had our Lexus for a week, but have a couple of questions regarding the GPS.
Went on a 140 mile trip (95% on same freeway) and at almost every off ramp, it would tell me to "turn here". I had programmed it to a specific address and it accepted it, etc. Why isn't it giving me the "direct route" because I have another 100 plus miles to go - straight ahead?
When I first started "programing" the GPS, I remember running into something regarding "avoiding freeway" or something like that. However, I cannot find where that was. Dumb!
Could someone be kind enough to take to me school on this so I can enjoy the GPS. I have to say, I am not overly impressed with it, but will give it a chance because I think "it is me".
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Phil

most likely you've selected ON for AVOID FREEWAYS. When you select a destination, and right before the map starts to search, there should be a last OK menu, where it says AVOID FREEWAYS, AVOID TOLL ROADS, and SOMETHING ELSE. I forgot. There you can select what you want on and off.

GlobeCLK - Thanks Pal - That is what it was. I had programed in several destinations we were going and never put in something new when traveling, therefore not bringing up the screen you directed me to. I had changed it to avoid Freeways and don't know why in the hell I did that. Could it be I just turned 60 last week? LOL. Thanks again.
