Buy a TomTom - much cheaper!

This thread  may give you some pointers Marc:

That said, I've found the in built sat nav to be a bit awkward to use, and find Google maps and/or Waze on my phone to be much easier,  and of course free and always up to date.

Even if you could get 2022 maps (which you can't) they would still be running on an operating system that is at least 17 years old, clunky, slow, counter-intuitive and DVD-based (so can't add your own POIs).

Do yourself a favour and forget it. Buy a standalone TomTom/Garmin/whatever, or even better, just use Waze or Google Maps on your phone - both of which have free and very frequent updates.

What Herbie said is correct. Only he is very gentle with criticism of Lexus software, which is a disaster.

Garmin is the best, TomTom is not bad, but a smartphone with free updates.
