Just ordered a new SD card PT219-Gen08-22 to replace the old stock 2015 RC-350 F-Sport SD card.
Not really happy about that since the address is just a hit-and-miss: I got a house was built in 2018 in Costa Mesa, California but its address is not in the system: Lexus, it's a 4-years old address
Note. It would take more than 15 minutes to update so do not turn off the engine or stop the installation until you could see the home screen displayed. For me, after the installation, I lost the voice command: I had to disconnect the battery and reconnect to reboot.

For the '15, you have to buy a new micro card with the new maps and POI data. The car does not have the technology to download data like many newer models. Still, the card is a lot less expensive than the previous technology that had the data on a DVD. I've had various GPS systems in my cars for many years, and I find that getting a new disc or card every 4 or 5 years works for me.
I placed the order online and picked up from a local Lexus dealer via https://parts.lexuswestminster.com/
There was a discount and I had to pay $180.60 + Tax
There were many houses, roads, streets built every year in US. About more than 1,6 million houses built in 2022. Of course you can use mobile phone.
Anything is for free from Lexus? hmm...
Blame the mapping company, not Lexus for your missing address. It may even be some other entities mistake. My sister's address was incorrect in town records for a decade before they corrected it. At least you know where you live and don't actually NEED your actual address. Plus, no one can see your address and rob your home while out and about. Valets have been known to work with thieves. Pricing has come down so much on the map updates. Grateful for that as everything else is going up.

Agreed to not use actual address in the 'home button'. I have a 2012 bought in 2015 (used infrequently when in the US) and just had the maps updated to the latest year they had. Attached the service price, had them install while had the car in for service but could also do on your own. If anyone knows of aftermarket or additional updates I'd like to know of them. With 5G I also lost features as did many others, any updates?
