| Description of the problem | My onboard navigation system goes to great lengths to make sure you agree to not watch the screen while driving, yet when you get to cetain areas the voice guidance system says " voice guidance is not available in this area. Please follow the arrows on the screen." this is contradictory and dangerous. Even the low cost unit i have in another vehicle provides voice guidance right up to the destination. Toyota should provide updated software to cure this safety issue. |
