As well, the street addresses when I am driving are typically off.
I agree this seems to be a problem with the map data they are using. Does it seem global or just in some geographies? I'm in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Which DVD do you have with your system? Is it the 5.1 with the over-ride function or is it the newer 6.1 with the over-ride function disabled?
Mine came with 5.1 and when pointed out to my dealer here in Calgary that there was an update they got it for me at no cost. I was expecting it to be 5.1.1 but it was 6.1 with the newer maps.
There were places in Alberta that have been there for forty years that were not on the 5.1 maps but at least they are on the 6.1 version.
That being said I am heading for Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper at the end of the month and none of the hotels we have booked are in the POI database and when I put in the address for the first place in Banff it states that even the address does not exist.
For what Toyota charges ($2700 Cdn) for the Nav system it is a major disappointment. No energy screens and Toyota Canada has no inclination to give them to us. Plus the mapping software is pathetically lacking.
Love the car, think the Nav was a complete waste of money.
