2008 Sequoia nav system problem

[shake202]

Does anyone have a 2008 Sequoia that can tell me if they are having the same problem I am? The maps work fine for streets, but all the adresses are wrong. I mean way wrong. Not even close, and in most cases the street adresses in the nav system do not even exist on the street. The real addresses for the street are said not to exist by the nav system.

I have searched the internet and have not found any mention of this any where. So far, I have not been able to find one address that is correct.

I am super pissed to have paid so much money for a worthless piece of crap nav system. Before I tear the dealership a new one, does anyone know why this is happening, and is it fixable? The nav is showing the car in the correct location on the map, it is only the street addresses that are wrong.

Thanks in advance for any help/insight on this.

I have run into a couple of addresses that it told me did not exist, when I'm quite sure they do. I was down in Myrtle Beach and I entered the address for the hotel and it told me it did not exist. Then I entered the name of the hotel and it did not come up. I tried the telephone number and it worked. Since then I've found the telephone number thing works pretty consistently. The voice commands work pretty well too. I think when you enter things with the touch screen if you don't enter exactly what it has on the disk it says it's not there. Play around with it a little more before you "tear the dealership a new one".

Both of you should check to make sure that the region is set to the correct region. I had one person whose navigation system (on a Lexus) showed her as driving in the ocean. Her issue was that the region was set improperly (why it showed her driving in the ocean, I have no idea). If that does not work, I'd say taking it into the dealership is a wrtohy cause. Not to tear them a new one necessarily, because they did not produce the navigation discs. You should definitely have them take a look at it though.

I know that it happends sometimes.
Some of the streets don't show right location of a house (when you enter it into navigation), I believe that its fault of NAV Disk, not Unit itself. For some reason FL is good on maps, but in SC (Spartanburg, Inman) area, it does that a lot.

I'm pretty sure that I'm set to the right region. It always reports my current location accurately, not driving in the ocean or anything. The only thing I can figure is, when I attempt to enter a full address by typing it in and it does not match the data on the disk exactly, it says it does not exist. Maybe the solution is to enter a partial street name and use the list feature. For the most part the system has worked flawlessly, and I'm pleased with it. There 's just been a couple of times I entered an address and it couldn't find it.

The problem is just what I stated. The streets are fine, it's the addresses, and I agree, it is almost surely the disk. There is accurate info out there, too bad Toyota is not concerned enough on this to get it.

This looks like a thread for Tundrav8yamaha

Like tinik mentioned, specific location matters as well. Here in Massachusetts, pretty much everything is mapped out to the tee. Some parts of Boston and local places that are changing are obviously not perfect, but that's because of the fact that the DVD was produced beforehand. Though my addresses are always accurate (to within almost 100 feet), I still have qualms with the Toyota/Lexus navigation set up that is somewhat disappointing. To have spent all this money on a beautiful and reliable vehicle to find that the navigation system is seemingly inferior compared to others on the market...
