Default Navigation Update

It appears that my navigation screen has been a lot more colorful during the last few days. Anyone notice that?

Nothing I’ve noticed. Also my app doesn’t show any update pending?

None here either. I was expecting an update along with the new 2023 models. Wonder if they are running the same version as the 2022 also.

I do not think there was any green coloring before.. There also
appears to be more coloring on the highway locations.

I have noticed more color too. Is there anyway to have nav show signal lights like Apple nav?

Looks like Lexus are in the process of rolling out an OTA update that provides enhanced graphics to the Lexus Interface system.

Our friend Melissa O'Connell at Northside Lexus made a YouTube video about it a few days ago:-

It's actually not OTA update, the maps are downloaded from their servers since it's a cloud based nav. It's just like Google maps on your phone - no need to update your app or phone to get newer map images. It just depends on how long the cache that is on your car and it is forced to refresh the maps to your car.

I hope these 'improvements' don't become a regular thing - I like the understated appearance of the nav display. If I want garish, cartoony graphics I'll drive my wife's Highlander.
