I think my recollection is correct because: (a) I remember having this problem when I first got the car, (b) I remember having this problem when my nav was reset to the default, and (c) FINDING the switch that turns off this default was a pain in the ass because the menu system is so poorly laid out. To clarify, the setting is not accessed by pressing the Menu button then default. The icons for highway, ferry, etc will however, come up in a little box on the upper right side of the route overview screen every time you enter a destination. I concede that BMW/Mercedes/Honda-Acura/Garmin/Magellan/ keepaddingnamesforallthenavsystemsoutthere probably each have functionality that is "better" than Lexus. I put emphasis on "better" because it's a matter of opinion, which everyone is entitled to. What gets me is folks who complain about something when clearly, they're not using it properly. It's like saying my Lexus is a piece of junk because my Verizon bluetooth phone won't download my phonebook into the car (It won't download to a PC either because Verizon wants you to pay for a service which gives you the privelige of transferring your contacts). What do POIs have to do with setting a city as a destination without using an address? The POI being "city center" is the fastest way to receive guidance to a City. The POI could just as easily be a restaurant, post office, whatever. The point is, you don't need an address to receive guidance to a city, just choose a POI, any POI, and you'll get there. Choosing a POI is faster than typing in an address anyway. But, wait, I'm sure there's a nav system out there that just allows you to input only a city name and get a guidance, so that makes it better than Lexus! Yay! Lexus-haters rejoice! Unfortunately, if the street name is a common one, I get too many cities to wade through. At that point, the nav system should let me narrow the cities by entering a name with out typing in the address again, but it doesn't. What a pain in the ass. There's no way to know how many cities will pop up until you input the street address and then it's too late to avoid entering the street address twice. Okay, so if the name of the street is "Main" then you'd be better off entering the city first. If it's "manthiswholethingisabouttalkedtodeath", then it would be safe to go with address first. Recognizing that no system is perfect for everyone out there, I prefer to learn how to best operate the system knowing the limitations/quirks rather than just trash it because it doesn't work how a Garmin/Magellan/tomtom works. So, to everyone out there: yes, the Lexus nav system is not perfect, and I apologize for trying to give people pointers on how to get the desired results! Oh and BTW, Hatteras, NC is an island with a population of 3,107 and nine restaurants (according to Google), all clustered on a one mile stretch of HWY 12. If some people need guidance for that, well... |
As I suggested, but you ignored, stick a pin in yourself and let the
pus out! Who the hell are you to impugn my need for restaurant info on
Hatteras Island, whether the population is 12 or twelve million.
Maybe I should have made my suggestion clearer: take your head in
your hand, and pull real hard to get it out of your anus!!
I drove our Lexus across country, and found the NAVI to be woefully
inadequate. One man's opinion, but since I doubt you have ever driven
farther than the local McDonalds, its still one person's opinion.
Lexus at least respected it, and gave me a free XM radio as partial
compensation without further ado. Let's hope they can catch up with
Honda one of these days!

didn't have the setting right. How many times do people have to tell
you this before it gets through you thick head, moron?

Corky, with statements like this, you continue to demonstrate what a moron you are. I drove our Lexus across country, and found the NAVI to be woefully inadequate. Bullshit.

Lexus at least respected it, and gave me a free XM radio as partial compensation without further ado. Either they're dumber than you (highly unlikely), or they just thought that an XM radio was a small price to pay to get a moron like you the fuck out of their store. Too bad you are such an ignoramus that your think only you know the |
anus and pull your head out. Then when you have it firmly out, put it,
too, on the dung heap!!!! If you knew the answer to my original
question, you would have answered it instead of blowing it off!! But
then again, this is the pin head forum of LEXUS users!!
