How to update '11 Navigation? (1 Viewer)

[sPaulp]

Yes, I have searched but came up empty. Maybe if I dig into my owners manual I could find the answer. But, I figured I would ask here as maybe there are additional details to note. So, is there a disc like my 100 series, or do you somehow download an update for my '11 LC? Thanks for any help

Disc updates. Ebay. Probably not worth it since the nav is awful.

So, the same discs that worked for my 100 will work for my 200? And yes, the nav is not great, but light years better than my 100 lol.

Pretty sure the 200 discs are not compatible w the 100 series

Is that an iPad? If so, what app do you have running?

TIA

iPad.

I run a number of different apps, but this one is kinda nice in that it has a very accurate speedo...elevation...exact GPS coordinates, music control, and several map modes. Only downside is the map isn't quite as smooth-moving as Google, etc.

This one is called simply SpeedoMeter.

Speedometer GPS+(Car speedometer, Bike cyclometer) on the App Store

I use either my phone or my iPad almost exclusively for music, satellite radio, etc., so I came up with a magnetic solution I like for rock-solid iPad mounting. If I need the occasional disc-swap for books on CD...it's easy to lower the iPad, dropping it only the two lower magnets whilst swapping.

There are some threads on MUD regarding the 2011 nav system I found using "navigation update" as the search term. This one has info starting at about post #22:

GPS Question

This single page thread has some additional info:

I am going crazy...help!

The DVD that should update your ’11 Land Cruiser is part number 86271-GEN06-16. The last number indicates it’s for 2016, the latest update. Toyota updates the nav data in October each year, so 2017 should be available then. That part number is for a Generation 6 system and you need to confirm with a call to a dealer or MUD vendor that it’s the correct one for your ’11.

I bought the update disk, waste of money. The nav system is terrible, I just updated it as a "just in case" but NEVER use the vehicle nav. I use WAZE app on my phone religiously if nav is needed.

I bought my 2011 GPS upgrade disc from one of those legit links shared elsewhere and don't regret it. Yes, I prefer using my phone for quick/short trips. But on longer trips, using the OEM NAV is useful so that I free up my phone for other tasks. Also, on longer trips when my phone GPS was continually being used meant faster battery drain therefore more USB charging resulting in SUPER HOT phone that would shut itself down. YMMV but having the OEM NAV, even if crappy, is something I use more often that I would have guessed.

On Road:
Short trips - phone, every time
Long trips - OEM NAV gets the call

Off Road:
iPad mini with MotionX app

I'm a bit over the top on maps and use 2 on long trips. For always-up-to-date turn-by-turn I use a Garmin stuck on the windshield. The OEM nav map is set to a scale that gives me a very large overview of the trip. My phone is busy with other Entune tasks and is not used for nav except for occasional Google maps locally.

When the robots take over and we need to EMP the entire globe to kill them off you'll be hosed. We'll be stuck using sextants and rolled up maps.

Clearly I've been playing Horizon on ps4 too much.
