    Just picked up the 2020 and under nav settings map data shows 2018 - can anyone confirm if the latest map data is in fact 2018 or if there's an update to apply i can request from the dealership?

    I had seen this with the DVD on my 2004 Prius. There is just a big latency between the data and producing the media. If you have an iPhone, you may want to use one of the CarPlay enabled navigation apps.

    ask the dealer, sometimes they have an update that didn't get installed at the factory. if so, they should do it for free, as a courtesy

    just verified the "latest" map data @ Prius Prime 2020 is circa 2018 -- will have to "fight" for a complimentary upgrade since the service center just informed me they expect updated microSD cards later in the year and priced at around $150+tax ...

    service guy told me to basically stand at the sales guys' desk in front of customers and progressively get louder if they don't honor a free upgrade :LOL: like i'm going to do this instead of using google maps.. The maps provider is 'Here' maps, and given the volume, I can't even believe that Toyota would end up with such a 'bad deal' to offer customers..

    that's a great service advisor.(y)

    might as well ask your salesperson nicely though, nothing to lose.

    It’s delayed. Maps come out at the end of the year (Oct-Dec time frame) so a 2018 is the last one. Those buying 2020s is in the new year will get the 2019 maps assuming it’s built after the maps are released.

    (Same thing happened to me. 2010 Prius bought in Aug 2009 with 2008 maps)
