Using Your Navigation System Safely
It is important that you look at the display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate your navigation system before you start your journey. Plan the route before your departure, obey all traffic signs, and stop if you need to change the route. If you deviate from the recommended route, your navigation system adjusts.

GPS information
The navigation system helps you find your way to your destination with the built-in GPS receiver, however, the Scion navigation system does not transmit your GPS position and others cannot track you. When first using the application, you have the opportunity to accept collection of usage information and GPS logs that may be used for improving the application and the quality and coverage of maps. The data is processed anonymously; no one will be able to track any personal information.
