My nav system seems to be off by about 1000 feet or more. When I am approaching a destination, it says I have arrived before I actually get there. Does anyone else have this issue? Is there anyway to re-calibrate?

Yes to question 1 but I don't consider it a problem. Not sure to question 2. I usually want to know BEFORE I reach a destination.
After you have used the navi system a few months, you will find there are quite a few omissions and problems with the Toyota? navi. I traded out of a '06 Honda product with navi, and what a difference. Its like stone-age, can't believe Toyota cannot do better. Tried calling the California Toyota customer service people, but they just dumb up and offer little knowledge or help. There should be an up-graded data base in the offing soon if enough criticism is made of the current info. Good Luck!

Did the Honda NAV have the telephone number database and integration of that to the Bluetooth phone?
I think the phone number database is rather large and Toyota sacrificed map coverage because of it. Just a WAG.
TJ-Sorry I have no knowledge of the bluetooth system. It was in the '06 TL, but because of where I operate, it was not meaningful to me. Th Toyota navi will not accept some street addresses as destinations, but when I arrive in the area, the streets show up on the mapping screen. Also, after coming to a major "T" in the highway system, the road to the right was not depicted. We took the road anyway, and went out across the unmapped green area until we intercepted another highway. Several hours later we retraced our route and the details were all there, hard to understand.
Most of the nav probles we've seen with unknown adresses and wrong streets have been due to improper settings, check to make sure that your search area in the destination screen is correct, also under menu/ settings make sure the time zone is correct. also check with your dealer about the latest release dvd
Also, if the details were not there the first time and later showed up, maybe you were not zoomed in far enough. Some of the minor roads don't show up on the map until you zoom in quite a ways.

Honda has a Phone number directory but No Bluetooth on the accord (Hondas Flagship sedan)
Some Honda's have bluetooth now but my dad new 2006 Accord ex navi doesn't have blue tooth But you can add that on from Motorola which sells a kit to plug into factory radio's head unit's...I also agree with the poster below about the Toyota unit's being very Lame on features vs the Honda Unit's I had a Toyota Navi on my Tundra and Dumped it on the Pioneer Avic with blue tooth and Xm Traffic nav all is very similar to what Honda provides on there systems. You want real advice Toyota Unit's are very Inferior product's and I hope they Dump there Navi vendor's soon
I have a 2007 Camry Hybrid using vers. 6.1 of the DENSO Nav Disk. I can't figure out what my Nav system is doing and how to make it behave!! This is the 3rd car Nav system (BMW & TOM-TOM 910) I have had and it has given me the most problems! I expect more from Toyota!!!! On the first day I had the car, after reading the manual, I used it to get to a meeting. When I was on the interstate it took me down down the offramp and back up at every single ramp until I got to my destination. I also can't figure out what routes it is calculating. I have been trying to baseline its performance against my knowledge of the area and I get different answers with strange launch points and routes. My wife is having similar troubles as well in her 2007 CAMRY Hybrid, but hers may be covered by the service bulletin mentioned earlier.

If anyone has ideas, please let me know.
For the most part my NAV(s) work OK. I have a '07 XLE and '07 TCH both with 5.1 +TSB NAV DVDs.
In non-metropolitan areas the road database is rather sparse compared to my Garmin Street Pilot's so it tends to keep me on major roads even when a better/shorter secondary road is available.
As for your on/off ramp issue. That is weird. Make sure you didn't inadvertently tell it to avoid interstates and tollways. It's in Route-Preferences (I think).
In one word the best way I can describe the Denso (Toyota uses this brand) NAV is "conservative" in it's routing.
Navigation Issues?
