Database Limitations
You will find that some points of
interest (POI) may be missing when you
search the database. This can be caused
if at the time the database was gathered,
the name was misspelled, the place was
improperly categorized, or the POI
change is not yet in the database. This
means you may not find places listed
that you know exist. This is also true for
police agencies and hospitals. In
outlying areas, facilities listed may not
be the closest. Always check with local
information sources if you need law
enforcement or hospital services.
Every effort has been made to verify
that the system’s database was accurate
at the time it was created. However,
businesses do fail or move to new
locations, and new businesses start in
the old locations. For this reason, you
may occasionally find “inaccurate”
information when you select and drive
to a point of interest (for example, a
restaurant is now a jewelry store). The
number of these inaccuracies increases
the longer you go without an update. The digitized map database reflects
conditions as they existed at various
points in time before production.
Accordingly, your
DVD may contain
inaccurate or inco mplete data or
information due to the passage of time,
road construction, ch anging conditions,
or other causes.
Due to ongoing software and database
improvements, navigation disc versions
may change in the middle of a
production year. The version shipped
with your vehicle was the most recent
available at the time of production, and
is considered standard equipment for
that vehicle. There is no free program to
retrofit early production vehicles with
the latest disc. For DVD ordering
information, see page102. In addition, this database does not
include, analyze, proc
ess, consider, or
reflect any of the following categories
of information:
Neighborhood quality or safety
Population density
Availability or proximity of law enforcement
Emergency, rescue, medical, or other assistance
Construction work, zones, or hazards
Road and lane closures
Legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight, load, height, and speed
restrictions)
Road slope or grade
Bridge height, width, weight, or other limits
Road, traffic or traffic facilities safety, or conditions

Customer Assistance
Reporting Errors
Occasionally, you may encounter
database errors.
If the error pertains to freeways and
main “verified” roads shown in black
on the map, then report it either
online at
http://update.navteq.com/ , or to
Honda Customer Services.
If the error involves a light brown “unverified” road, then do not report
it. These areas have not been verified,
and are provided for reference only
(see Map Overview on page6).
For errors in points of interest (POI), like a business that has changed their
name, do not report them. Keep in
mind that depending on when the data
was collected, and when your DVD
was purchased, the database can be
out of date. The business may have
not reported the change(s), or not be
in the database at all. Update
Navigation DVDs are available for
purchase, usually in the fall of each
year. If the error does not involve the
database, such as if the vehicle
position icon does not follow the
road, screen error messages, or other
GPS related errors, see Frequently
Asked Questions on page117, System
Limitations on page97, or
Troubleshooting on page127.
