Question red "dots"?

Hi to all,

I am driving relatively new (3 wks o.) RX 350, and on NAV screen I see small red "dots" along the route and some intersecting streets; there are no POIs, I wonder if anyone can tell me what they are...

thanx

Welcome to the forum. You'll find all kinds of advice and answers to questions such as yours here.

Like garfull said your route trace is on. Some people call them cookie crumbs but it helps to retrace your route if you like. You have the option to turn them off in the display.

Study up on your manual, someone may call on you to answer a question .

Default Owners Manual

I dont use my owners manual any more.

If you set up an account with Lexus Drivers.

https://secure.drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrivers/home

Your owners manual is online in PDF form. Which is much easier to search.
