Have got the new Whereis V20-9 update disk running in my 2012 VX and I can say don't bother forking out you hard earned for a better version than what you have.
It still works tho despite, as I understand, the software in the new Prado is different.
Like the old version, zoom out past 400 metres and all the side roads disappear.
In my view this is bloody hopeless when travelling out in the bush.
Most side roads are not named either despite there being plenty of room on the map to display them.
One thing that did amuse me was driving out onto the breakwater in Hopetown SW Western Australia, the sat nav insisted that my Prado had turned into a boat as we were in the ocean.
It was a worry as I don't have a snorkel fitted. Boom,boom!
A sales person at Busselton Toyota told me that early versions of the sat nav displayed the 4x4 tracks.
These were discontinued as the same disk went into all Toyota's so equipped but there were drongos who decided to follow those tracks and got stuck. Hello!
One woman drove into a golf course and parked herself in a lake. Blond?
I wrote to Whereis, asked the question about what updates they had made, the reply, check with Toyota. Hopeless!
Maybe the 4x4 tracks are still there on the disk but we cannot access them?
Would be useful to offer a disk that did to landcruiser owners. Oh but wait on, some drongo will get that disk, get stuck and complain.
Of course it will be Toyota's or Whereis at fault for not posting a warning at the start of the track where the idiot got stuck.
Cheers guys
