System Setup
NOTE:
You can select areas to avoid,
however you cannot select roads or
areas that you want the system to use
for routing.
If you are drawing a box around a road as an area to avoid, ensure the
following: When you draw the box,
make sure that the road or portion of
a road that you encircled includes an
intersection. For instance, in the
example below, highway 213 will be
avoided, but Van Ness will not be
avoided because it lacks an
intersection in the enclosed box.Edit Waypoint Search Area
When driving en route to your
destination, you can select a temporary
destination waypoint (marked with a
small flag on the map) along your route
for gas, a restaurant, or other POI. When
you resume your trip from the waypoint,
the system continues the trip to your
original destination. To use this feature,
see Search Waypoint on page66.
This SETUP item allo ws you to select
the distance from your highlighted route
line (on either side of your route) that
the system will search for a waypoint.
From the Routing & Guidance screen,
select Edit Waypoint Search Area ,
and then choose the desired search
distance for either “On Freeways” or
“On Surface Street.” The diagram below shows how the
system handles the search for “Places
Along the Route” or “Places Around the
Destination” (see
Search Waypoint on
page 66).

System Setup
For “Places Along the Route,” the
system looks in fron t of you within a
corridor width specified by your values
for “On Freeways” or “On Surface
Street.” The system checks the
upcoming area, based on your input.
For “Places Around the Destination,”
the system searches outwards in a spiral
from the destination. In this case,
specific search values are not needed;
the matches are displayed in order of
distance from destination.
NOTE:
These settings do not affect the search
range used for the voice commands like
“Find nearest gas station” that are also
available when viewing the map screen.Guidance Mode
Allows you to select the guidance
display mode: Single Screen or Split

System Setup
Auto Daylight
Sets automatic daylight saving time ON
or OFF . If set to ON , the clock will
automatically “spring ahead” or “fall
back” by one hour when a daylight
saving time change occurs. If you reside
in a state or area where daylight saving
time is not used, then you may want to
turn this feature off.
NOTE:
If you set Auto Daylight to ON, the
daylight saving time function is
activated even in an area that does not
use daylight saving time.
The federal government mandated that
starting in 2007, daylight saving time
begins in March and ends in November
instead of the old schedule from April to
October. The schedule is subject to
review and possible cancellation in
2009-2010. The schedules for the time changes are
stored in the software and can be
selected in the DST schedule
selection
screen. Therefore, your clock
will change based on the daylight saving
time schedule.
NOTE:
The automatic clock setting feature
relies on a satellite signal. It will not
work in Hawaii and Alaska.
Auto Time Zone
Sets automatic time zone selection by
GPS to ON or OFF . If you are driving
across the country and passing through
time zones, then this feature will
automatically set the time to the time
zone you are traveling through.
However, if you live and work in two
different time zones, you may want to
turn this feature off.
NOTE:
When driving near a time zone
boundary, the displa yed time zone may
fluctuate between the two zone times.

This option lets you select the schedule
(April-October or March-
November ) when daylight saving time
will automatically occur in your
navigation system. The system default is

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 Service.
• 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 its
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 vehicle position
icon errors, screen error messages, or
other GPS-related errors, see
Frequently Asked Questions on
page 127, System Limitations on
page 104, or Troubleshooting on
page 134.

Address and POI Entry Screens
When in Hawaii, the following
differences occur for map, address, and
POI selection:
• It is not possible to enter U.S. mainland addresses or scroll the map
east to the U.S. mainland.
• Selection of the “State” is confined to the state of Hawaii only.
• Entry of a destination address or POI on an island other than your current
island may result in a screen caution
message. This is normal because
there are no “ferry” routes between
islands available in the database.
• If the “Guidance Prompts” setting on the SETUP screen ( Main Setup) is
set to normal or maximum, street
names will not be spoken in voice
guidance commands.
Setup Screen Differences
The SETUP screen differences are
minor and are listed below. See the
Setup section (page 77) for additional
information.
Routing and Guidance (Unverified
Area Routing On/Off)
This feature is unavailable. All roads
displayed on the map are verified.
Clock Adjust Screen
There is no daylight saving time for
Hawaii. Auto Daylight , Auto Time
Zone , and DST Selection will not be
shown on the Clock adjustment
screen. To test your adjustment, use the
voice control system, and say “What
time is it?” (see page 94).

complete this portion of the process.
Shipping a Vehicle To or From
Hawaii
Although the DVD in the vehicle
contains maps for both U.S. mainland
and Hawaii, the dealer must perform the
selection of “U.S. mainland” or
“Hawaii” for you. When the dealer
makes the switch from U.S. mainland to
Hawaii or vice versa, the system clears
all user data. Make sure to record any
personal information that you do not
want to lose.

Frequently Asked Questions
Guidance, Routing
Problem Solution
The navigation does not route me the same way I would go, or
the way some other mapping progr am displays. Why is this?The navigation system attempts to
generate the optimum route. See
Changing Routing Method on page47.
Why is the street I’m on not shown on the map? It has been
here for more than a year. The mapping database is
constantly undergoing revision. See page111 for
ways to obtain the latest de tailed coverage information.
The vehicle position icon is not following the road, and the
“GPS icon” text in the upper left hand corner of the screen is
white or missing. • The GPS antenna (located on the passen
ger’s side of the rear shelf) may be
blocked by personal items. For best re ception, remove items from the rear
shelf, such as radar detectors, cell phones, or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarke t devices can interfere with the GPS
reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on
page 104.
I entered a destination, but th e blue highlighted route and
voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/pink dashed line
before I got to my dest ination. Why is this? Your route has entered
an unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 87.
The map rotates while I make turns. How ca n I stop this? Select the North-up map orientation by voice, or by selecting “North-up ”
from the Map menu . See Map Orientation on page 57.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orienta tions. Why is this? The Heading-up map orient
ation can only be shown in the lower scales
(1/20 - 1 mile scales). See Map Scale on page56.
While driving to my destinati on, the “time to go” display
sometimes increases, even though I am getting closer. The “Time to go” is based on actual
road speeds. However if your speed
slows down when you encounter slower traffic, the system updates the
“Time to go” based on your actual spee d to give you a better estimate of
arrival time.
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short distance
behind, especially when I arrive at an intersection. Is there
anything wrong? No. When at an intersection, the syst
em is unaware of the width of the
intersecting road. Large differences in vehicle position can indicate a
temporary loss of the GPS signal. See GPS Reception Issues on page104.
