Got one question, when I was playing around with the Nav at the dealership you could go into it and pick all the differant states and to select one of them!! Now I assume you pick the state you will be living in, but say I wanted to go across the country----DO I have to go into the nav and pick that state that Im traveling through for the nav to keep working or does it do it by itself???

Also I have searches and searched, but what is the current Points of Interst of the new 3.1 (current) version? And is Lexus coming out with a new version this year? SInce Im getting my 330 ina day or so, I have V3.1 but will ask for the upgrade if needed.. Thanks

The region is only used to set some boundaries on searches for locations and POI's so they don't take forever.

You can move from region to region without telling the system, and it will continue to follow you with no problem. You can also plan a route that crosses a region boundary. The map is one big map - there are no regions in the map itself.

I believe version 3.1 is supposed to have somewhere between 3 and 5 million POI's on it. That's the main difference between 2.1 and 3.1 - the number of POI's.

3.1 came out last fall (around September)... I haven't seen any posts yet about a new release this fall.

Thanks for the info! I just didnt want to have to go in and pick each region as I go into it....sounds kind of dumb if you had to do that!!

I was told( dealer), in oct 2003, that the next Nav upgrade (ver4) will be available around august 2004 (... means now !!!)... I 'm still waiting for this upgrade (and skipped the ver3)
