GPS Blues... anyone with me?

I have a 22 SR5 premium with factory GPS is it me or Does Toyota lack a lot of features?
99% of the time I use Android Auto. My coworker also has a 22 pro and he said it's a known fact that Toyota GPS is horrible. How can a Top tier Automaker have a 1 star rating App and a 2 star rating GPS? My MIL 2010 Camry had a junk Rosing system that didn't last two years.
Has anyone looked in a 2022 Lexus ? Their GPS is 10 x better

Most reviews of the 5th Gen 4Runner state that it's a dated vehicle compared to the competition and that it seriously needs to be updated. So, it's not just you.

Not sure what I'd use the factory GPS for, unless I didn't pay attention on my way to a remote trailhead and just wanted to get pointed in the right direction until I'm back in cell coverage. Your favorite maps app on Carplay or Android Auto will be better than any manufacturer's built in GPS anyways.

Updated in Feb 2023: just got back from a weekend in the mountains where a storm took out Internet and cell coverage for over a day. Having the built in GPS was awesome to get us pointed in the right direction, find local restaurants, etc.
