Check your avoidance settings (ie. Highways, tollroads, etc.)

In April we purchased a 2015 RAV4 Limited with factory navigation. I just opened a case with Toyota, the Navigation system sucks. It has repeatly wanted to send us in the wrong direction, we don't trust it, does anyone know whose software they are using? The Nav works fine just cruising down the road, just don't ask directions. It couldn't find O'Hare while we are driving north on the Tri-State. Last week it couldn't find a hotel near Grand Rapids, MI, it suggested a turn in the exact opposite direction.
Anyone else have similar problems? I have requested they remove it and give me the $$ I paid for the thing, I'll continue to use my iPhone.
It would be much better if they had an up-to-date database! I bought mine in May 2014 and drove to Ontario in July. The nav system did not know at least 2 major highways existed that I know were there more than 2 years prior.Mine works fine in Canada. It's not great, but no built in automotive nav I've ever used is.
Yeah, that pisses me off. Updates should be free. You can buy a $100 garmin with free updates, or a $1000+ sub par system in a car and pay $100+ for each update. I'm never getting nav in a vehicle again if it can be avoided.It would be much better if they had an up-to-date database! I bought mine in May 2014 and drove to Ontario in July.

Of course you can always pay to have it updated.....no thanks I will use my Garmin with lifetime free updates.
I hear ya, but, you can use voice recognition on the navigator while the car is in motion, and some POIs are accessible while driving, like gas and others I can't think of right now.Just going by my Lexus navigator because I haven't had the RAV long enough to use its nav. The absolute worst 'feature' of the Toyota/Lexus navigators is that you can't use them when the vehicle is in motion. It's understandable why they did that, but its still a pia.
Really! That would be most useful. One of the most frequent things I do when on interstate trips is when I'm in the middle of nowhere, I'll go through the menu on the Garmin and punch in "Costco". That's where I usually purchase my gasoline. I realize that it is junk gasoline, but hasn't killed my cars yet and the price is right, in addition to getting cash back at the end of the year.I hear ya, but, you can use voice recognition on the navigator while the car is in motion, and some POIs are accessible while driving, like gas and others I can't think of right now.
Yes, voice recognition is helpful while the car is in motion, and you can still keep your eyes on the road. I'm assuming you have voice recognition on your RAV as well? And, like I said, you can still access some POIs like gas, via the touch screen if you wish (I admit that I still do). I'll check it out later this morning to see what other POIs are accessible via the touch screen while the RAV is moving.Really! That would be most useful.

It is sort of dangerous to type in the name while I'm zooming down the interstate, albeit at the maximum posted speed limit. It would be really convenient to just say, "Siri, where is the nearest Costco". (Or whatever we nickname out RAV navigator lady.)
