Nav System-Destination

For entering an address as a destination, try these steps:

1) Make sure you have selected the proper zone. If you have the zone set for the Eastern United States, you won't find your West Coast address.

2) Enter the city.

3) Enter the street.

4) Enter the number.

The key is doing it in reverse order. Each piece of entered data filters what is available for the other fields. By starting with the city you limit the list of streets to only those in that city. Likewise with the street numbers.

Another trick is being general with the search terms. Say you want to go to Sanbridge Circle, so you key in "Sanbridge Circle", and the nav system comes up empty. The database might note have that street in it with exactly that name. It could be "Sanbridge", "Sanbridge Cir", "Sanbridge C", or something similar. You want to use the generic name for all streets. In this case just put in "Sanbridge" and then pick the correct street from the list if there is more than one. This trick is especially useful when you have several roads with similar names, such as "park street", "park drive", and "park avenue". Stick with the root part of the name and use the list for the details. You will see the same thing with cities. Sometimes it might be "Kalamazoo" for your city, but perhaps the address you want is really in "Kalamazoo Township" or "Kalamazoo twsp". Start with general and work toward specific.

Don't forget you can enter desinations in advance and save them in your My Destinations folder, or favorites, or whatever it is that Toyota calls that section - I think it's "My Places", but I'm not sure without looking. That way you don't have to horse around trying to enter them on the road.

If all your inputs and/or selections of street #, name, city are correct and the system finds your destination, when it does a "target" over a map of the location shows up on the screen and you push the -Guide- button.
If there is an error in your input, or the number/street/city don't match up the system should be giving you a message as such.

Once you input the street# and name, on that screen is a "List" selection. push that to actually list and choose the street, which should lead to the proper city, select that, which should lead to the target location on the map, select -Guide-

If this isn't happening, make sure you have also selected the proper "zone" or region of the US to be searching, that selection is on the upper right corner of the address page

As stated above the very best way to input an address is to do it "backwards" from the way we think about it. Input "zone'', "city", "street name", then "street number." In that order narrows the search more easily

 

The NAV system hangs onto your destination like a starving dog hangs onto a ham bone. It's a real pain. Sometimes (especially while you're moving) voice commands work best, to keep you from having to do the dreaded "drill down" through the foggy menu system. Try saying "delete final destination" or "hide icons" when you're having a problem, etc. BTW, here's a list of voice commands:
