GPS won't let me input an address

Car must have not wanted to go wherever you were about to take it.

 

Were you in motion the first time you tried to enter the address?

 

There will be multiple options not available if you drive....GPS..and others system and car setting....safety precautions from Toyota
Stop and check again

Toyota apparently never considered that there might be a passenger who wants to change settings. This has long been a source of gripes. It is clearly done at the behest of their legal department as a defense against lawsuits that Toyota facilitated an owner's stupidity.

 

The question is why this is the case with the Prius models, not however with our Yaris model? I conclude this not to be a general Toyota policy, but a model specific feature?

I do not know about the Prime but on many GPS systems the restrictions are enabled by default for liability reasons but there is an option to disable the restrictions.

 

do tell ( where is this option?)

 

I know my Garmin GPS has it. I do not know, otherwise.

 

It was the same on my first generation 2002 Prius. It was so defensive that you had to explicitly dismiss the warning about not blindly following navigation guidance every time you started the car. It did not time out like in subsequent models.

As for Toyota model differences, I guess it is sort of like why does one get individual tire pressure readings on the Highlander (like my son's 2008 Highlander Hybrid), but not the Prius?

 

If the car is moving then you can't input any address from scratch, similar to phone log that once you are in motion, you can't browse the whole calling history.
