Toyota Touch 2: How to use sat-nav

Toyota Touch 2 is our advanced multimedia system and offers a rear-view camera, touchscreen control of the entertainment system plus access to your hands-free phone.

Touch 2 with Go adds satellite-navigation, a host of online connected services and a vast array of fantastic Toyota applications. Touch 2 with Go Plus adds voice control.

In this post we’ll take a look at how to use the Touch 2 with Go sat-nav in your Toyota and some of its additional features. It’s also possible to send journey details to your in-car navigation from the MyToyota online customer portal – to find out more about this, read our introduction to MyToyota.

The following video explains the process and we’ve also prepared step-by-step instructions below.

Start by pressing the system ‘NAVIGATION’ button.

Then press ‘ROUTE OPTIONS’, where you can choose to show route alternatives on your maps. You’ll only have to do this once.

Now return to the Navigation main screen and press ‘ENTER DESTINATION’.

Enter the relevant address or postcode, then ask the system to calculate the route.

Your device will offer you three route alternatives – Fast, Short and Ecological.

You also have the option of avoiding motorways, tolls, tunnels and ferries.

You can also change map modes between the normal map and the traffic map.
Touch 2 with Go Plus enables 3D mapping.

For more information on traffic services please see our post “How To Use Toyota Real Time Traffic”.

The icon in the bottom corner of the screen will access further information and map options.

Press the ‘POIs’ button to see all the different points of interest on your route, including destinations for eating, shopping and entertainment.

Touch 2 with Go can also access destinations in your phonebook contacts as well as destinations sent from Google or TomTom maps if your phone is paired with your device.

  1. I have a Toyota CH-R. How do I stop the navigation system when I do not want to use it?. I often do local journeys but the car continues to use the last ifo and voice advice for the previous trip using the satnav system.

    Thank you

    1. Hi Harri, thanks for getting in touch.

      Please could you confirm your full registration number so we can check this.

      Thanks,

    1. Hi Ayesha, thanks for your comment.

      Your navigation may only accept postcode destinations. Your local Toyota Centre can check this.

      Thanks,

  2. Hello ,

    I have a new Toyota Sol but can not get any advice her in Ireland on the Safety and Search items. Is there a Cupport or Training centre that can clarify key safety functions

    Best regards

    1. Hi Tom, thanks for your comment.

      This isn’t something that we are able to advise on as it is not a UK specification vehicle.

      Sorry

  3. Hello,
    I have touch and go 2. Where I could find the list of nearby attractions? I mean I would like to go to an attraction, let say a natural or historical one, which does not have a specific address – how can I find it?

    thank you in advance!

    1. Hi Rumen, thanks for your comment.

      We’ll need the full registration number to advise. But it may be that your maps need updating, we publish two updates per year and your local Toyota Centre can assist with this.

      Thanks,

      Toyota UK

  4. How do I change the colour of the screen on my navigation system for my 2023 Yaris Excel, as it is blue and difficult to read whilst driving.

    1. Hi Ivor, thanks for getting in touch.

      You can change the layout in the settings menu: Settings > Navigation > Map Style Customisation

      Thanks,

      Toyota UK
