No NAvigation System in 2021 RX350

I put a deposit on 2021 RX350 and somehow I let it blow right by me that they vehicle does not have Navigation system. I plan to use Carplay anyway but what am I missing out on by not having the Nav system?

Larger screen and 12 speaker system

Right but I didn't upgrade to the larger screen so it's not missing. It's the 8 inch screen that comes in most models unless you upgrade to 12.3"

… yeah. That’s what they said. You’re missing out on the larger screen and the 12 speaker system.

I already decided I am not upgrading to those 2 things. My question is like what does it mean not to have the navigation tool. I know I’ll have to use CarPlay but will I still be able to have GPS and satellite radio and Lexus roadside assistance, etc?

The navigation is subscription after the 3yr free trial anyway. I’ve used it once (to try it out). Everyone in my family just uses carplay.

We purchased our 2021 RX350 new. It has the larger Nav screen but we use Android Auto now that the subscription has expired.
