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

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.

I am still struggling to be able to hear traffic news when the radio volume is zero. The traffic bulletin can be heard faintly, but I can find no way to ensure that it is any louder, without turning up the volume every time.
Hi John,
Thank you for your post. In order for us to look into this please can you provide with the details of your multimedia system? Many thanks.
It is a Touch 2 with Go. (I’ve answered this already but have seen no response.)
Hi Mike,
Thank you for your reply and we are glad we could be of assistance. If the sat nav volume is at zero and instructions cannot be heard. This should be able to be altered when the sat nav first starts up as instructions are provided once go is selected. Hope this helps a little further and if you have any further questions please let us know.
Hi John,
Thank you for your reply. We have spoken with our technical department and we would advise first go into the radio settings menu, turn off traffic announcements and alternative frequency, then turn both back on so they have a tick beside them. When the traffic announcement comes through the speakers, the volume level will be saved in the memory once it ends. This means that when the next traffic announcement is heard, you will need to set the volume as it is playing, via the radio display controls. The volume should then be saved when the next announcement is received. Hope this helps and if you have any other questions please let us know
I have tried this three times. It has no effect. I increase the volume of the traffic announcement to the level I want. Next time there is a traffic announcement, it reverts to the much lower level.
(I’ve responded to this already, but I seem to have difficulty in getting my messages to appear.) I have tried what you suggest (three times), but with no result. I set the volume of the traffic bulletin to what I want, but the next time it reverts to the previous very low volume.
I have followed your suggestion of taking the car to my local dealer. They say that the volume of traffic announcements is dependent on the radio volume and that there is no way of ensuring that the traffic announcements are properly audible when the radio is (for practical purposes) off (i.e. the volume is at zero). This is most unsatisfactory.
I have a 2012 RAV4. Over the past year the sat nav has been gradually taking longer to load, e.g. from about 20seconds to 10 minutes. Now it won’t load at all, just displays the disc with a message its loading. The tech team at my dealership have looked at it and don’t know whats wrong with it. I really need to get this sorted, does anyone have any idea what it could be.

Hello, the volume on my ago has decreased a lot on both Bluetooth and radio. I have to put it to at least 30 to hear it! I have also increased my phone’s volume to the max. Any suggestions to fix this?
Hi Ian,
Thanks for your post. We would advise contacting your local dealer to see if they can assist you further in resolving this issue. Hope this helps. Many thanks.
I am so disappointed in my Yaris which I purchased 2015. I too couldn’t switch off the sat nav and it continues. I also find instructions given ae far too late and miss road turn off’s etc. Are all the sat navs this dysfunctiona. II find my front drivers door is not closing properly I also find that there is a lot of water and dirt off roads on internal door trims are the seal not fit for purpose. Ive bought Toyota cars for over 20 years, but fear unless there are marked improvements, The toyota I have now will be my last, will there be improvements.
