Do you use a GPS unit and if so, what are your likes and dislikes about it?
Thanks,
Thanks,
I have one built into my car...The database on the one in my car is a bit outdated (created in 2000), so any new roads or changes don't show up...
Last I checked, it was about $300 for the updated DVD and another $200 to install it.Vaughn,
Can't the Lexus dealer update it for you?
Too many to name. For starters, you can actually see where you are relative to everything else around you...all the time. Until you've seen one in action, it's hard to describe, but it makes it much easier to find places, and you don't have to stop and pull out the map when you make a wrong turn somewhere. Even when I'm driving in a familiar part of town, I like having the ability to take a side street to get around traffic or construction, then simply glance at my dashboard to see where I am and find the best route to my intended destination. I've found little side streets and shortcuts in my own neighborhood that I didn't know existed.... What advantage would we have with a GPS?

Yow! Somebody saw you coming! That's outrageous.
Since yours is eight years old, does it use a DVD mounted in the trunk? (Some did) Toyota/Lexus used to use a Toshiba GPS. Don't know what yours might be, but if it does use a DVD in the trunk, you might be able to buy the newer DVD direct, and install it yourself.
