Scout GPS Link App Reviews

I would still prefer in dash navigation, but this work fairly well.

I can’t even test out the Nav because I can’t connect. I don’t get how Toyota can make really good trucks, but can’t have a decent up to date navigation system.

Maybe one day Lexus will develop an app that isn’t complete garbage.

It only works 25% of the time. Cuts out if you get a phone call. The keyboard for manually typing in coordinates is delayed and takes forever. It’s probably one of the worst GPS systems I have used. Because of how often it crashes I always have google maps running on my phone at same time. They need some type of update for more reliability.

This is definitely not working from the get go!

Certainly isnt accurate or efficient when choosing routes. Also, there is no reason to access my phones GPS when Im not using the app. My battery is being drained for no reason. Change it to use GPS only when using the app and you might get another star. 11/10/17 So the app now only uses GPS when its open but now it wont stay connected. The display in vehicle wont connect. If Id known the features werent going to work I would have asked for a lower vehicle price for false advertisement.

Cannot connect to my 2017 car. Not even worth one star!!!

This app is useless at best. Since you need your mobile phone to use this app, might as well use your Goggle Map or iOS Maps app?

Useless! I have to log in all the time, can’t use while moving, even as passenger. Never bother to try to use it anymore. Wish we got a different car with Apple CarPlay instead of Toyota.

We bought a 2016 Toyota Highlander with hopes of having a great GPS. Scout GPS is by far the worst GPS app we have ever experienced. Knowing what I know now about this I would have seriously considered purchasing another vehicle!!!

I better use google maps on my phone instead of this app. It doesnt work as I expected. Would love it if it can show user interface such as integrated navigation app.

Two things that piss me off. (1) the app doesn’t cut your music down to tell you when a turn is coming up. (2) there is no visible route (LIKE EVERY OTHER NAV APP) it’s just directions. What’s the point of connecting to Lexus then?!

The app is “free” and now i understand why. It’s pretty ridiculous how much time is wasted trying to connect this app to the car. We leased a 2017 Lexus NX 200t and was advised we don’t need to purchase the upgrade factory installed Navi on the vehicle. Well guess this is the price we pay for not “upgrading” - headaches & frustrations coupled with battery & data usage. Brought it back to the dealership and deleted and redownloaded it. Next thing you know it works....for 3 hours then of course problems again.

This GPS works maybe 10% of the time . If you want GPS buy it installed and not a Toyota with the Scout Ap . Won’t connect or stops working and by the time you realize you’ve driven past your turn . Horrible !

This is a terrible app. Always have to turn off my phone and turn it back on to make the connection with my car GPS. Terrible app never works. POS...

It is difficult to use and only connects occasionally

This ap is junk and unreliable. I am a sales rep and rely on my gps and am so dissapointed in this system. Please use apple play like any other smart manufacture.

This app crashes constantly while using it. Always seems to be in the craziest part of your trip. Sticking with apple maps. I wish Toyota would just integrate CarPlay.

With the addition of maps and live traffic it’s a much better app. With a USB cable tether your dash NAV isn’t just turn by turn. The ease of use now is very much appreciated.

Very poor reliability
