How to Update a Disk for Toyota GPS

Maps for Toyota's in-dash nagivation systems are updated annually.

Toyota annually updates the map database for your vehicle's in-dash navigation system with current roads, street names and direction options. Using the most recent maps available will ensure that you reach your destination in the fastest and most efficient way.



To update the maps used by your navigation system, you will need to purchase the newest map disc from your local Toyota dealership. The 2010 update CD cost $199.
