Awesome. The built in Toyota Nav function is a nightmare. My 2014 4Runner’s Nav app did not even know about a bridge that was opened in 2008 ….and Toyota wants $200+ just to upgrade the Nav application. That would not help with the apps general functionality (which is horrible). Waze and Google Maps alone would be worth this upgrade for me.
