Simple Instructions for the Navigation System in a Toyota Prius

Navigation systems and personal GPS are a handy accessory if you are traveling. The Toyota Prius features a touch-screen control panel in the center of the dash that controls the stereo, provides battery and fuel economy information and has a built in navigation system. The navigation system has many powerful options that may seem complicated to use if you are unfamiliar with the controls. Setting a basic destination point, however, is a relatively straight-forward and simple task that you can complete in just a few minutes.
