I just purchased a 2001 Lexus RX300 with GPS.  Can anyone tell me
what's the latest and most up to date version of their GPS.  Also, how
much should I expect to pay for this?  Is it available through any
other source besides Lexus?  Any consensus on whether an upgrade is
worthwile for the Metro DC area?

From what I have read, the mapping software is easy to upgrade, just
take out the old DVD and pop in the new one.....can someone please
confirm?

thanks.

or work your way to it and see the one which one owner just added.
Search thoroughly through the earlier posts to see how many things are
involved.

I have an 02 RX300 that I intend on updating every other year.  I got
the 2003 DVD last year (Oct 8, 2003) from Pohanka for $250.
Technically speaking, I replaced ver. 2000v.1 with 2003v.1. This added
a bunch of new streets and upgraded some features. If you live in
western Fairfax county, the update is worth it. The road between I-81
and Blacksburg is now on the map, so the new version doesn't cut cross
country when we take our son to Tech.

I think they publish updates every fall, so I'd wait a couple of weeks
and get the 2004 DVD.  If you can load a CD in a computer, you can
swap out the DVD in the DVD drive located in the passenger side rear
compartment.

Club Lexus has a group discount on the 2004-5 DVD but I think it was
higher than $250.
