Joe,
I'm curious if the items you mentoned are in the Garmin maps.

I just checked the Nags Head and the mall issues I have with the Toyo system and they show on the Garmin site.

 

Hi John,

I believe Denso make the software.

Rick

 

Thanks for checking. As Garmin and Magellan use the NAVTEQ maps the majority of the people who are using a portable GPS might have better maps than the Toyota/Denso Nav system. (All maps have errors, it's just a question of how many and where.)
I wonder whose maps Denso uses (and if they have a map feedback form like NAVTEQ does). Hopefully the 06.1 maps are in better shape than the 05.1 maps.

 

Has anyone purchased or seen if they can upgrade to 6.1 yet... Just wondering if Toyota is carrying the version yet or if it can be ordered....

 

I have a call in to my sales guy to ask about something else. I might ask him to look into this, but I want to hear from someone on the board to confirm that M-6 is on the new map in the Grand Rapids, MI area. I don't want to upgrade if they haven't corrected the problem.

I will post my request again and see if I get any "takers":

Can you please do me a HUGE favor when you get a moment?

Can you look at the map of the Grand Rapids, MI area and tell me if highway M-6 (also known as the Paul B. Henry Freeway) connects all the way between I-196 on the western end and I-96 on the eastern end (this should be about a twenty mile stretch of highway). Mine only shows it connecting between I-96 and M-37 (about a 3-mile stretch on the eastern end), and I am trying to get my dealer to "comp" me the updated version of the DVD for free.

Also, for the override function, are you touching the small volume icon in the upper left, then the blank area in the lower left corner, then repeating? It would suck if this doesn't work in the new version, but I might be willing to deal with it if I have full routing capability around Grand Rapids!

Thanks in advance!

 

Highway 6 goes from the east of GR and ends at I 196 around Hudsonville. It goes all the way!

 

THANKS, FREDO! I assume that you have the 6.1 version of the DVD, right? When did you take delivery of the car?

 

 

I am not sure, but I probably have 5.1 since I took delivery on 5/26. I live in East Lansing and drive to Lake Michigan to fish, and find that Highway 6 saves a lot of time.

 

Are you sure you have 5.1? I took delivery on 7/11, and mine has the 5.1 version, and on mine, M-6 only goes from I-96 to M-37! I can't remember offhand where the DVD version is in the menu structure, but I think it is either on the "Menu" screen, or maybe in the Menu - Volume screen.

EDIT: It can be found when you touch the "Map DVD" button on the "Menu" screen (accessed by the Menu button on the right stack of buttons.
