Toyota Navigation

I'll look into it, but I don't think it's possible.
I'm thinking anything you can find with your finger AND dealer installed updates would be about it.

All the best with your new Camry,

That's what I was afraid of.

If anyone does find any tips / tricks for factory installed nav systems, I'd like to post them in the GPS models section.

I can only set a finite number of POIs, manually. I may get another handheld GPS just to use the red light data.

I had not thought of it before, but would believe that most people will be interested in this. I would also bet that if enough customers (both existing [past] & potential [new customers when they are shopping]) bring this up with the auto-manufacturers and dealers, there may be a good chance this could be included when designing future automobiles. ----Perhaps custom POIs could be allowed for, in the future, but probably not if few or no customers say anything.

I think it's a great idea with tons of potential, and therefore believe that we should speak up!

No harm in asking, but I'm a little more cynical than you in that I don't think manufacturers would want to design the system to make it easier for their car owners to upload data for free. They'd blame it on security concerns, corruption concerns, yadda yadda yadda, but what they'd really be worried about is missing out on an opportunity to soak their captive audience.

Personally I think built-in navigation is a very bad buy for a car, partly because it's so expensive and tends to be harder to use than standalone systems, and partly because I prefer to buy vehicles I will keep for at least a decade. There's no way built-in navigation won't be badly out-of-date if not obsolete in that time. (Obsolete because the manufacturer may say they won't work on it any more.) Manufacturer charges to customers for upgrading built-in navigation software can be quite high. They like it that way.
