Maps in Digital Cluster?!

[Truckin91]

I was today years old when I found out we are supposed to have this feature on the tacomas equipped with the full digital instrument cluster… has anyone seen this feature? Apparently it’s in the manual also. I just stumbled across this feature online.

I also posted a youtube video of a Land Cruiser with same digital cluster explaining this feature that shows up and then disappears….

Now we just need actual value readings for the temperature and battery gauges

I drove a buddy's GMC Canyon and the whole cluster can be set to display navigation with the speed and other information superimposed over the map in the corner of the screen.

I was kind of hoping the Tacomas had this capability, but apparently not.

While it's a very high tech & a cool feature, I’m not buying any General Mess products.

That's not a current Tacoma. In regards to your question, probably not.

If the new 25 4Runners are anything to go by, the 25 Tacomas will also not have this center map function. Seems to be relegated to other vehicles like the Highlander, despite using the same gauge cluster, for some bewildering Toyota reason. Drives me crazy. At least we can still get some turn by turn directions on either side of the center stack, but it doesn’t look near as good :(

Thats silly. it would be so nice to have to not have to turn your head for the map.

Thats one thing I do get jealous about the Canyon; the full dashboard map.

You can get some turn by turn directions in either right or left gauge cluster while using your native maps app through carplay (apple maps) or android auto (google maps). It's a half measure to get there, but better than having to turn your head to the center screen.
