Despite owning a 2015 model vehicle, the navigation is seriously outdated, missing roads that were built in or before 2012! I had suspected I would need to go to a local dealer to get an update, but I also have a conscience that refuses to pay to update a system that was 3 years out-of-date at the time of purchase!

Anyhow, in my google search I came across this site; https://toyota.garmin.com/toyota/#getStarted

To make sure it is a legitimate URL and the EXE was not dangerous I manually went to garmin.com and selected the "Automotice" from the "Maps" tab. Doing so brings you to this URL http://www.garmin.com/en-CA/maps/updates/?/automotive and at the bottom you'll see:

"Have a navigation system built into your dash? Find updates for your in-dash system."

I am wondering if anybody has updated their maps on their own using this method? If not, I'd be happy to give it a go, just hope it doesn't mess something up in the process.

Imagine that, just looked in the Navigation manual and see a note that map updates are free.

And I noticed this in the manual...

"Map data for the navigation system is contained in a SD card that is inserted in the SD card slot. Do not eject the SD card, as doing so may deactivate the navigation system."

I would be more comfortable if the site listed specific vehicles.
The procedures listed and screenshots don't seem to match the Entune systems we have... I suspect this is for the previous systems that did not have an SD card installed 24/7

Very good point. I guess I will try to get a local dealer to do the update. I didn't purchase it locally, just hope I don't get the "run around" and will come prepared that the manual says a free update.

Does anybody have the most recent update by chance and know the version and date? The version I have is 05-34-53 dated September 3, 2014.
