    This is version 7.1 (the most recent). Although HI isn't listed, selecting region 1 gets the Hawaii points of interest. If anyone wants to fly me and my car to Hawaii, I'd be glad to try it out. :D

    Well, since your car will have 16" wheels and a large spoiler, that sounds like a Touring edition (unless the suspension is from the base Prius).

    Commenting on other topics within this thread:
    • Looks like NAV still is not offered in Hawaii.
    • Servco Pacific is the Toyota distributor as well as the Toyota dealer network in Hawaii. Imagine if Toyota Motor Sales USA also owned the 1,200 US Toyota dealerships.
    • Matson Navigation ships vehicles for around $1,000 one-way from Honolulu to Long Beach, CA. I've done this with both Prius that I have owned.

    The limited edition Prius is in. I had a chance to see one at Servco Honolulu yesterday. I was told around 30 of the 50 have already arrived. The Blizzard Pearl paint definitely gives it a more classy Lexus look. I noticed three 50th Anniversary badges, one in the back and one under each HYBRID emblem on the front fenders. I wasn't able to open the car so I couldn't confirm if the door sills were any different. The 16" wheels and rear spoiler were the same as the touring model. I wasn't able to get a good photo of the car but will try next time.

    I also saw three 50th Anniversary Camrys on the lot.

    I just got my limited edition Prius yesterday. It's pretty nice. I'll try to post some pictures soon. Blizzard pearl is nice. 50th anniversary badging is nice.

    Congratulations! Enjoy your new bride... er.. ride!

    Now comes the burning question, does she know her way around, as in GPS?

    Nope, no GPS. I just use my Garmin portable GPS. Unfortunately, here in Hawaii, no major auto maker has extended their GPS coverage to cover the islands.
    The car is a touring model that has leather seats, 16 in wheels, special badging that says "50th Anniversary Edition" under the Prius badge, a step plate that says 50th Anniversary Edition, and the Blizzard Pearl color.
    So far, I haven't been able to find anything on the car that says I have #___ out of 50.

    I've seen 2 different people on craigslist trying to sell their special edition ones for a nice profit. It's a shame to see how people are trying to scam others on such a great thing.

    No Nav feature Prius in Hawaii? We just shipped one Sienna Mini-Van to HI.
    Guess what, This Sienna now has Geographical settings for Hawaii !
    All vehicles before, did have only USA/CANADA map settings.

    I am holding out for the Chicago, Illinois Special addition. That will include hidden compartments to hold cash from State, City and Cook County taxes. These compartments will be numerous and large. Each compartment will be monogramed with names of our Governor, Mayor and Cook County President.
    These compartments may not be large enough so I am thinking this Prius Special Edition may need to have a large trailer attached with a hole in the bottom that will waste all of the tax dollars stuffed in these compartments....On second thought maybe I like the Texas version better!

    I picked one up a few weeks ago. Nice, particularly the door sills. After I get it washed up, I'll take some pictures...

    Umm... why would a transaction between a willing buyer and a willing seller be considered a scam? :eek:
