Question of the Week: Why should I update my Navigation?



Q.I received a message saying the maps in the navigation in my RX 350 are out of date. Will the unit still work and what’s involved in updating it? Can I download the new maps wirelessly?


 

A.If it has been over a year since you purchased your vehicle or updated your navigation system, your map could use an enhancement. Regular map updates allow your navigation system to operate at its full potential. You'll be able to find thousands of new roads, subdivisions and current addresses. You'll be able to find the best routes to your destinations and the closest roadside services and most up-to-date business listings along the way.
