What do you use for navigation in your tundra ?

Google Maps on your phone, the Tundra navigation on the Radio, something else ?

 

My Man Sense

 

Google maps on my phone. I have seen people mount a tablet using a metal bracket on the center of their dash. Ive been thinking about it

 

For off-roading GAIA GPS on a tablet. Around town phone or truck Nav

 

Google maps on the iPhone!

 

Google Maps on my Galaxy phone

 

iPhone and Waze.

 

I don't use any electronic navigational devices. I use hand written directions, a map if my destination is new, and the location of the sun in the sky or shadows on the ground.

 

Sheesh, I guess I could have tried harder...

I have some ancient scrolls tucked away from the elements. When I am traveling anywhere, I carefully unroll them across the dashboard, and weight each corner down with rare stones and fossils.

I use a bronze compass to estimate distances and perform my calculations.

I have been doing this since I had to take my sextant into the olde repaires shoppe.

 

Google maps on a pro clip and ram mount

 

I don't "make" my truck go in any particular direction. I feel that would break it's spirit.

 

Nothing, I make my wife give me directions from her phone ! Lol

 

I use the built in Entune navigation unless I need specific directions then use Google maps.

 

On my Taco, I use my USB interface to have Google navigate and tell me what turns over the radio... because I don’t have Nav in my 2007 Taco.

I was figuiring that Tundra “might” (highly doubtful) have a google maps app that would let you do it on their radio / screen.

 

By myself - google maps on my phone on the center console charger

Family trip - wife uses google maps and gives verbal direction. I find her having the navigation is easier when traveling if she wants to break off and discover something or for food/bathroom.

 

I tell Siri the address and the pioneer radio with CarPlay takes over. It's always up to date.

 

Carplay/Apple Maps or the Toyota nav.

 

I just listen to “Jesus take the wheel” but somehow always end up at a Taco Bell or Waffle House.

 

While my wife gives me multiple 'directions' I'd never follow her directions on how to get there.

 

Garmin, I've been too many places without cell coverage.

 

Iphone with Waze dont leave home without it.

 

The lady in the phone tells me where to go unless the wife is with me then they argue over the best route.

 

I mostly rely on memory and landmarks locally, but that can be a challenge as the years go by because land marks (trees & buildings) come down from time to time, logging or a big storm will also alter the landscape.

 

You make Chief Smoke Signal very proud!

 

Paying attention to road signs also helps.

 

Out here in the high desert, it is dead reckoning; because i reckon that Scout app is dead. I actually use the Google Maps app on my Android phone. I never trust the iPhone cause the best nav app on that thing is Google Apps and I am pretty sure the iPhone NAZI's will one day let me down and default me to their nav app.... No problem finding a latte at Starbucks, but good luck finding that cluster of Joshua Trees just south of Mirror Dry Lake. Google Maps lets me enter in GPS coordinates in Lat/Long

 

Google maps on my Android. I have the volume turned up and I just throw my phone down on the centre console after looking at the route on the screen.

 

A very old Garmin 60csx in Touratech cradle. I'll be purchasing this next.
