    I just purchased a 2023 v6 Taco. Why did Toyota install such a crap Nav screen? Toyota should have the clear, functional nav screen.. the tech option SUCKS - 100 % my opinion..

    I wouldn't complain if Toyota just gave up at this point and made the next gen screen completely blank until you plug in your apple carplay/android auto

    If you have Dynamic Nav, wait until the trial ends and Toyota wants $169 for Nav you don’t like.

    Dang!!!! I am sure glad my truck doesn't have that! Mine is a 2016.
    I do have to purchase a new "Sim" card with the new data on it, probably
    for the same price (Grr), but at least it will last for years to come, and
    not blank out things on you.

    I am happy my Nav does not have a subscription too. I have never updated my maps. It is kind of cool to drive on a newer road and the Nav says I am driving through a field. I rarely use my Nav but when I do it always gets me to my location even with outdated maps.

    Wait...what?

    I did not get a NAV Option with my '21 Sport...but I do use the Apple CarPlay to get Google Maps which works great with my dongle. (hehe)

    Anyway, why pay for NAV when you can use network system in the truck?

    +Towing 3500# in a 55 Mph headwind. Panties in a bunch about a nav screen? Get ready for an atomic wedgie suspended from the shop gantry crane.

    It’s TW’s obligatory first post material.

    I'll go the opposite route. What car has a nav map that's even halfway decent? I've never seen one, and I've driven a lot of cars.
