Map Reading NAVigation

Cannot read Navigation DVD in 2002 prius?

I have a 2002 prius with the navigation system which had the original 4.1 navigation DVD in it. However, when i select the navigation tab, it asks me to "Insert map DVD". Any ideas?

You should approach this the same way as you would with a regular DVD player that has a problem reading a movie disk.

Is the map DVD dirty or smudged? If so, clean it. If it is scratched, you can try polishing it with one of those CD/DVD scratch removing products.

On the navigation unit itself (under the front seat) make sure the connector(s) is/are secure. If it appears dirty, try using compressed air to blow it out.

If you can find someone nearby with a similar-vintage Toyota navigation system, try swapping disks and see if the problem is the disk or the navigation unit. That will tell you if you need to buy a new disk, or get the unit itself repaired.

How tough is it to navigate on Table Mountain?

I read one web site, and it said it was easy, and I wouldn't get lost. Then the next site said I should have a map, a compass and hire a mountain guide for the day.
I was thinking of tackling Skeleton Gorge, or maybe Platteklip Gorge. I can handle the climb, but how tough is the navigation?

I have hiked up and down Table Mountain (the most beautiful mountain in the world) with my beautiful Staffie (RIP) too many times to mention and from just about every possible route.

Here are some tips:
1) If it's your first time try the 1st or 2nd route up just after the lower cable car station, i.e. the front face of Table Mountain.
The 1st will take you up zig-zagging under the cable car line, the 2nd will take you up through Platteklip Gorge.
These are perfect because it's very easy to orientate yourself.
Once at the top you can either walk towards the top station or alternatively walk towards the dams and museum.
The top of the mountain is quite flat and relatively free of vegetation so it's quite easy to orientate yourself, and the many tracks and paths are well maintained.
This should be enough for 1 day and if you are too tired you can always take the cable car down.
2) Once you have orientated yourself better, you could now try an alternate route up from Camps Bay, Kirstenbosch, (Skeleton Gorge), Newlands among others.
3) Leave early in the morning when the weather is still cool and so that you will have plenty of time to return.
4) There are taps with fresh water at the top (especially the Camps Bay side of the dams) but do take plenty of water.
5) There have been numerous attacks on tourists hiking up the mountain in the last 2 years (Google "attacks" "tourists" "table mountain" etc.),
if you don't have any dogs or other people as protection stick to the most touristy routes and do not take any valuables with you.

enjoy,
but keep safe and perhaps chat with the folks at the lower cable station to get some information about crime in the area.
