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. Can I increase the time between the guidance and the actual turn of my device fitted to my new auris? The guidance seems to come when we are almost at the junction turn etc

    1. Hi Neil, thanks for the message. Which Auris do you have, and what model sat-nav system does it have? We’ll ask our tech team and try to find an answer for you! Thanks.

  2. My map is upside down and keeps telling me to turn round when possible even though I know I am going the right way

    1. Hi Angela. Is this happening when you are navigating to destinations, or just when generally driving (ie, without inputting a destination address)? Thanks.

      1. When putting destination. Also my map appears to be back to front e.g shows Cambridge to my left when I know it is to my right

  3. Hi Angela, this may be because the nav map is facing the same way as your car which can sometimes be useful on the move. To change this, you can press the compass icon again to set it to stay north-facing. I hope this helps you, we don’t doubt your knowledge of Cambridge!

  4. Hi,
    I would appreciate some help re traffic announcements please. I seem to get none whatsover when listening to DAB radio in any setting. When listening to a CD or FM radio, even with the “no traffic announcements” box ticked I cannot avoid them! Thanks.

  5. Morning Neil, we are looking into the DAB traffic question for you and will be back with a response from our technical help desk as soon as we can.

    1. Thanks Scott. I look forward to hearing from you further ASAP.. As noted, another big problem is that I cannot switch OFF traffic announcements when listening to FM radio or CD- even when “no traffic announcements” is ticked in the settings. With my Prius I just pressed the TA button but there is nothing so simple on the Auris. This is very distracting and seems to me to be a software issue. Should I return the car to a dealer? Thanks a lot. Neil

      1. Hi Neil, we have asked our technical team about this and will be back with a response for you very soon.

      2. I have a Auris hybrid 2015 and have the same problem of no traffic announcements on DAB. It would be great to dispense with AM/FM but can’t do this without traffic news

  6. Hello I’ve got a AURIS hybrid 2012 with touch & go. When I use my sat nav, putting the right destination in & postcode it says
    Recalculating route my friend said it might want updating !
    Would this be right & how much will it cost ?

  7. Hi Keith
    Thanks for your post.
    Can we check first whether you already have a route programmed into your system? The satnav may be recalculating if this is the case. Let us know, otherwise it may be worthwhile letting your dealer have a quick look at this for you.

  8. My problem is that I cannot get the navigation volume setting high enough. It is set to maximum, but I still have great difficulty in hearing it when driving. Is there any way of increasing it further?

    1. Hi John,
      Thank you for your post. difficult to advise this one online we would therefore recommend visiting your local dealership for them to look at your settings.

  9. him i have a auris 2012 with touch, when i press the sat nav button it says “system not installed”. i wanted to know what i need for the sat nav to work, some people are saying i need to download it, some people saying i need to update the hwoel sytem..?
