    I have a 2017 Trd OR. Is it possible to upload satellite maps/imagery/overlays etc for the built in Nav on the 2017 tacomas?

    I was just about to post this question until I found you asked it already.

    I have a bunch of Topographic CADRG and TLM-50K maps along with high res sateite imagery in CIB1, CIB5, and .SID format that I want to load onto my truck’s SD card but i’m concerned the system won’t know what to do with it. I’m about to just wing it...Anyone tried this? I basically want to turn my center console into a samsung galaxy tablet that can use the Killswitch app...

    I dont think the stock head unit will let you- dang map chip is even proprietary. I use an ipad or my phone, along with TopoMaps app- you can download free hires USGS quads to it online and use it for GPS maps that show trails, etc. When Im on remote roads or trails without cell reception, I use a Garmin Glo bluetooth GPS to update my positions on my ipad.

    I checked into this recently and got nowhere. Closest I got was something like this: http://www.beatsonicusa.com/if02ep.html where your built in display mirrors your smartphone display with satellite maps.

    This looks legit, but could you navigate through your phone using the touchscreen in the Tacoma? Otherwise, not as legit.

    Oooooh that’s a great question. I don’t know as I never pulled the trigger. But you make a fair point.
