You can (I think tumbleweed and others have done it) download the Navigation Manual from Toyota Owners Online. But like the Owner's Manual, it's broken up into multiple little PDFs, so it's a PITA to download. Probably easier to have someone email you all the little PDFs.

Then you'll have to stitch the little PDFs together into one PDF, which I understand is easy to do if you have Adobe Acrobat or some later Mac OS.

Then it'll be good to make it available to the masses.

Sounds like a job for PearlieGirl!

haha! Well maybe I will do just that! I do have a Mac and Acrobat so if I can get my act together I will give it a whirl, and let everyone know if I have success.

I got it! Thanks for doing this.
Now I have something to read while waiting for delivery later this month. The manual has been at the top of my indian summer reading list.

As Boo doesn't have a convenient place to simply host the manual,
and Toyota hasn't stepped in and told anyone to cease and desist,
we've talked about it a little and I've put a copy up for grabs to
help ease the distribution workload. Go here to start, and use
the obvious hint to add the correct filename and download away.
You should wind up with a PDF of size 33,065,317.
.
This is not directly linked because we'd rather that the spiders
don't find it. A very small bit of human ingenuity is required to
get the goodies, and that's just fine. DO NOT LINK the file directly
via this site or any other, because its name is going to change
periodically and you really don't want to scatter broken links
around the forums. If I see hints in the web-log over there of
any automated processes grabbing the thing, availability will be,
shall we say, somewhat hampered.
.
I thought about offering versions compressed in various ways, but
that only reduces it to about 27 Mb because a lot of the data "blobs"
inside the PDF are compressed formats already. Not worth the extra
storage and support overhead.
.
Enjoy!

Go here to start, and use the obvious hint to add the correct filename and download away.

In other words:

1. Click on the link above (or just click here), which should open up to a white page with one line of text on it.

For example, the one line of text might read:

010 prius owners: pc_OM_1234.pdf [do not bookmark or link externally, pls]

2. Find the correct file name in the middle of that one line of text. Note that the correct file name will change from time to time as hobbit said in Post #19. However, the correct file name should end with ".pdf" and be located between the colon ":" and the open bracket "[".

Thus, in the above example of one line of text, the correct file name is:

pc_OM_1234.pdf

3. Copy the correct file name.

4. Paste or add the correct file name onto the END of the existing URL address that is located in the browser bar at the top of the white page.

The existing URL should be something like this:

http://techno-fandom.org/~hobbit/cars/TIS/10/

Using the above examples of the correct file name and the existing URL, the new URL address you create should look like this:

http://techno-fandom.org/~hobbit/cars/TIS/10/pc_OM_1234.pdf

5. Click on the appropriate icon (which varies depending on your browser) to go to the new URL address you've created.

6. Download away.

7. You MUST observe the following condition and advisement previously stated in hobbit's Post #19:
