I was watching a review on youtube on the LS600H L and when they were showing the nav, the guy points out that in the most zoomed in level, you get kinda rough outlines of the shapes of buildings. I havent been inside the LS long enough to play with the Nav, but i dont remember seeing this when i went to the car show

This is a feature available in major cities, the '04- LS 430 has it, so does the LS 460/460L/600hL NAVI systems.

Just zoom in to 150 feet on the map scale and you'll see the shapes.
This only works in select cities so far. New York, LA, etc. I think the owners manual has a list of cities -- Dallas, TX is not one of them.

Yep, you zoom in maximum and the zoom button changes to a 'streets' button, select it and city outline/buildings appear; use cursor on a building and sometimes names and phone info will be available.
