so I have a 2016 lc and has feature to set clock off gps location which didn't work and tonight I used the gps and estimated arrival time was off by an hour. How do you set this to he correct time. I figured clock would also set the gps time.

On mine I had to manually set daylight savings. It's a button in setup.

GPS only sets the minutes, not the hour. This means when one travels to a different time zone, new hour must be set manually; and when DST ends/begins, DST must also be set manually. Sorry, Toyota, but this is 1990's level of technology - disappointing to see this has not improved with the 2016 model.

i experienced this monday morning. i think there's a bug. if i have DST set and/or i have the clock set to GPS, it's an hour later than central time... if i turn those off, it moves back an hour.

What he said! But then again, there is much in the Infotainment/Nav system that I find outdated. Too bad in a vehicle that boasts about being able to drive it for 300K miles and more. The Infotainment/Nav is already 5+ years behind the competition. Oh well.

Agree.
That's why...when I'm on road trips...I use a velcro iPad mount I made...that goes right over the top of the screen. -When I need to adjust something, I flip the iPad up for a sec...then back down it goes. Tis a bee-yoo-tee-ful improvement with Google maps...except for the one annoyance that Google uses TEEEEEENY TIIIIIINT street name fonts even on the big iPad screen...
Yeah, you're right about Google maps. Labels too small unless your using your iPad like, well, an iPad.
I purchased a Ram Mount system and though it bounces around more than I like it is handy for road trips where we like to use the InRoute app or off road when I use Earthmate or Gaia. My 2016 has that big screen for the Nav/Infotainment system but the resolution is essentially the same as on a smaller screen - the pixels are simply spread out more. Like looking at an enlargement of a digital image. Major waste in my opinion. They could of done so much better. But my biggest beef is with the lack of capability/functionality - especially when it comes to off road and when it comes to using common modern day tech like the ability to upload GPX files for routes and locations or, as pointed out in this thread, automatically switching to/from daylight savings time or automatically switching time zones based on GPS (my my 2014 vehicles from competitors already had.) I wish they had skipped the silly Entune apps and spend more time and money in the Nav system software and capabilities.

With Google Maps... It's soooo silly they haven't issued a simple update to fix the fonts, or at least give the option of enlarging them.
