GPS

Last week I successfully input addresses into the system. When I saw this topic I thought it would be useful to refresh my memory and record the procedure but when I tried to do it again today I got tied up in knots. The "Toyota Nav System Owner's Manual" was of no help, so now I can't answer the question. I hope somebody can!

I guess there won't yet be a book with a title like, "The Prius Nav System for Dummies" because nobody has yet been able to work out how to use all its functions, or, if they have, has not enough patience to write clear instructions in full.
If they do succeed the book could be quite a profitable publishing venture!

 

If your manual is the same as mine:
Page 66 - Registering memory points
Page 33 - Destination input by memory

 

Very simply stated:

Press the "Destination" button;
Select "Address" on the MFD;
Enter the Street Number;
Enter the Street Name:
If necessary, select the City;
You will be given a choice of routes and can specify which of the three you prefer. You can also choose to "allow/disallow" Freeways, Toll Roads, Ferries, etc.

Then when you want to select an address, press "Destination,"
Select "Previous" and select the one you want. If you have entered numerous addresses, you may need to scroll the MFD to find the one you want.

 

If they are three addresses you use alot, try the "Quick Access Buttons"

There are 6 buttons, called Home, 1,2,3,4,and 5

Look things up like "Registering memory points" and there is a special function there for adding to the quick access buttons.

then when you hit the quick access button, it automatically sets that as your destination. I have saved: Home, The airport, blank, blank, Wife's work, my work.

Once something is set up there, you can even use voice commands "Go Home"
"Go to Quick Access 4" (Wife Work)


I'll try to post again later when I get out to the car and have a chance to play with it.

 

Try this online Tutorial if you'd like to understand your navigation system and don't feel the manual is adequate. Its a Lexus site, but the system is just like what's in your Prius.
