eDestinations

If you have Nav you get one year free of ENFORM which includes eAssist and eDestinations.

On my PC I programmed in 17 destinations that I wanted to download and program in my Navigation system. I organized them into 5 folders.

Then I went to the car and couldn't figure out where the eDestination place was ( it was late at night and I didn't want to trudge through the manual) so I called eAssist and they helped me out immediately ...eDestinations is under Points of Interfest (POI).

So I downloaded the destinations I had programmed in on my PC. It was all very seemless.

It also doesn't take up space for any of the 100 addresses you can program locally on your GPS.

Hopefully the eDestinations don't go away if I decide not to renew ENFORM, but they probably will.

Sorry to say but that function it does go away when your trial period is over. I couldn't justify the cost of keeping it.

I really liked eDestination when I had it but the cost of continuing this service was way too expensive for what it’s worth. It’s nice to add your destination from the comfort of your office or on your home laptop, beam it up to mother Lexus and then download it to your car at a later date. However, it’s just as easy sit in your car and input your destination – all while at a complete stop, of course. The time it takes to get this information downloaded to your car, you can enter the destination just as fast if not faster. I’ve never been a fan of eAssist and get a creepy feeling knowing the person I’m talking to from Lexus Central knows so much about me, my car, and my exact location. It was demonstrated at the dealership at the time of delivery but I’ve never used it after that. All the new smart phones makes eAssist and eDestination a moot point.
