  • Factory fitted GPS help

    I recently purchased a 2004 Toyota Prado Grande which has a Toyota GPS which incorporates the radio and sound system. It still has the original whereis maps (ver 10) that came with the vehicle when it was new.

    I have a problem with the GPS in that I was fiddling around with it and managed to get into the service menu and within that there was an option to change the maps.

    Just for the hell of it I decided to do this and firstly I selected the Australian map. A message came up saying it was loading and not to cut the power while it was doing its work. Eventually the map loaded was and all was ok, so I then decided to go through the same process again but this time (very stupidly) I decided to load the US map.

    Since then the radio and sound system still work but the GPS function no longer works and all that happens is I get a message that says “Please insert the correct map disc”. In addition it is no longer possible to use any of the GPS menu functions. I tried removing the map DVD and replacing but I have not had any luck.

    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

      how'd you go with it?
      did you just need to remove the permanent power to the unit and everything would be ok to reload?
      that would be my thoughts

        I suspect that your gps dvd (probably under the drivers seat) does not have USA on the disc. If you reload the Austrailia map again, you will be probably ok.

        If you eject the disk you will be able to see what maps you have in your system.

        The reason it does not work is that it probably cannot relate your gps position to the map as you have selected a map probably not installed.

        Hope it helps
