LexusLink Multimedia includes several navigation online services, providing useful real-time information including traffic info and speed cam alerts. These features require the internet to function.

Every new Lexus comes with 3 years of free map updates for the navigation system, as well as other services:
Embedded navigation systems receive data from a GPS satellite signal. LexusLink Multimedia requires an online connection to receive necessary data for Real-Time Traffic, Coyote (where available), Google Streetview (where available), Weather, Fuel, and Parking, and online POI.
