Hi Mark,
(Sorry it took so long to approve your comment, been busy)
Yes, they updated it to include some of those things. Unfortunately they still haven’t made it as easy as it should be (e.g. type ahead on suburb, it couldn’t find “Bondi beach” just now, it doesn’t retain state, it’s inconsistent with Apple’s HIG [back, page turn] etc etc. It’s getting better, but it’s not there yet

Old post, but I just downloaded the Toyota iphone app and they must’ve updated it or you missed something because it does everything you say.

If you click on the map button in the address it takes you directly to Google Maps with the route from your current location to the selected dealer (which I find very handy when I take it in for service or find the need to visit a dealer while 4wd-ing away from home).

You can also click on the phone number to call the dealer. And clicking on the email address opens up Mail (which I don’t think I’ll ever use though)

Interesting review.
Get me a hybrid! They should have more fun on the app- like- you insert the make year model of the car you already have, then it compares all of the environmental advantages to trading for a hybrid.
