My drive from Texas to Utah was the pits. Got worse as I arrived closer to my destination because the state changed I-15 exits and that really threw things off. They (Lexus) told me that even a new disc would still have the same old information on it.

I need a navi to survive and the one in my 350z worked better than this spankin' brand new Navi system.

I have no issues withh my navv. I have it set just right and it has only told me to pull a u-turn one time when I could have went for a direct "left" at the light instead. Make sure it is setup and remember the shorter the routh the less accurate it can be. Also make usre to select the right route as well. I would also watch the online tutorial at the Lexus website.

The problem I have is putting in the address of a destination. About 1/2 the time I try to put in house addresses - it complains that the house number does not exist. So I have to drag my *** to the computer and go to Mapquest to print out the route to my destination(s), completely bypassing the purpose of NAV.

If Mapquest or Yahoo Maps can find my destination, it's frustrating to know my NAV is not that dependable.

I wouldn't call it dependability but more like dated. Yes the addresses can be a pain at time but I've tried putting in street numbers that are close, when you get there you can find the exact. Or if you have an intersection, that works as well. No car nav will ever be as up to date as your computer mapping system, at least not yet.
