Unverified Area Routing
Allows you to receive turn-by-turn ma p and voice guidance in unverified areas when en route to a destination (see Map Overview
on page 6). The chart below illustrates the rou ting differences with this setting On or Off.
Unverified Area Routing: Off (factory default) Unverified Area Routing: On
Decision:
Why choose
On or Off? The driver wishes to navi
gate manually by using the
navigation map and choosing the streets that lead to
the destination. The driver understands that unverified
roads may not be a ccurate, and can contain errors in
location, naming, and address range. The driver chooses to let the na
vigation system suggest possible
routing. The driver understands that in some cases, guidance may
not be appropriate. Unverified ro ads may not be accurate, and can
contain errors in location, naming, and address range.
What you will
see… A blue dotted vector line is
displayed on the map that
continually points to your destination. The driver
should stop and then use the map to select streets that
lead to the destination. A blue-pink dashed route line
highlights suggested unverified
streets on the map while traveling to your destination. This is in
sharp contrast to the normal blue route line displayed in verified
areas.
Cautionary
messages There are cautionary pop-up screens and voice
announcements, before and
during the route. These
serve as reminders that you should obey all traffic
restrictions. There are cautionary pop-up sc
reens and voice announcements,
before and during the route. These serve as reminders that you
should exercise additional ca ution, and obey all traffic
restrictions.
Guidance
(map/voice) There is no turn-by-turn map or voice guidance. Voice gui
dance commands end with the words “if possible.” This
is to remind the driver to verify all traffic restrictions before
making a maneuver.
Directions list A direction list is typicall y not available. However,
depending on your route, dire ctions are provided to
help you reach the first available verified road. A direction list is provided showing street names and turn
symbols in pink.

Unverified Area Routing
When driving to your destination, you
have the choice of using or not using
“unverified” roads. You make this
choice in the Setup screen (second).
The next few pages contain an example
of a route to a destination in an
unverified area expl aining the routing
differences found in unverified areas.
With Unverified Area Routing Off,
the system tries to use verified roads
whenever possible. In this example,
since only verified streets are used, it
created a longer rout e than necessary.
With Unverified Area Routing On ,
the route is shorter, but consists of
unverified (light co lored) streets that
may not be accurate. Because the streets
are unverified, there may be errors in
street location, name, or address range.
Additional caution is recommended in
these areas. Always obey posted traffic
restrictions. Because both routes bypass or use
unverified streets, an initial
Disclaimer
screen is provided. It is recommended
that you stop and review the map.

NOTE:
Unverified roads are
shown only when
viewing the map in the 1/20, 1/8, and
1/4 mile map scales, or the 80, 200,
and 400 meter map scales.

Edit Avoid Area
This function allows you to select areas
you wish to avoid when calculating a
route to your destination. You can select
up to five areas to avoid. You may wish
to set up an “avoid area” to route around
long-term road construction, closures,
or any area you wish to avoid. If you
enter a route that takes you through or
into an “avoid area,” a pop-up box will
warn you that your route takes you into
one of these areas. However, you can
still choose destinations in an avoided
area.
When you select Edit for the Setup item
“Edit Avoid Area,” the following list
screen is displayed: You can select
New Area or select (by
touch) one of your existing areas to
modify. If you choose New Area, the
following screen is displayed:
Say or select Edit Name and use the
keyboard to enter the name on the Enter
avoid area name screen (19 characters
max). Say or select Done to return to
the previous screen. Say or select Edit
Area to create the area to be avoided.
The following screen appears: Either select
Address or Map Input
on the Enter avoid area by screen.
Each choice provides a slightly different
way to locate the approximate map
display for drawing the area you wish to
avoid. After selecting the choice, a map
screen will be displayed.
Use the ZOOM buttons to select the
map scale (available scales are 1/20,
1/8, and 1/4 mile scales). Use the
joystick to move the crosshairs (red
circle) to the desired start point and push
in the joystick to “set” the start point.
Then move the joystick in a straight or
diagonal direction to encompass the
area to be avoided.

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 Waypoints on page 66.
This Setup item allows 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 for “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 Rout
e” or “Places Around the
Destination” (see Waypoints on
page 66). For “Places Along the Route,” the
system looks in front 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.

Clock Adjustment
From the Setup screen (second), say or
select Clock Adjustment and the
following screen appears:
This screen allows you to set or adjust
the following:
• Auto Daylight Saving Time (Default = On)
• Auto Time Zone by GPS (Default = On)
• DST (Daylight Saving Time) Selection
(change DST schedule)
• Time Adjustment (adjust your clock)
• Reset button (resets this screen’s
settings to factory defaults)
Auto Daylight Saving Time
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 Day light Saving Time 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 by GPS
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 displayed time zone may
fluctuate between the two zone times.
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Selection (Change DST
Schedule)
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
the March-November schedule as
mandated by the U.S. government.
During 2009-2010, it is possible that
this new change will be canceled by the
government and return ed back to the
previous “April-October” schedule. If
so, simply change the schedule in this
setting back to the “April-October”
schedule.
Time Adjustment
Adjusts the current time in hours and
minutes. You can reset the adjustment
by selecting Reset. Selecting Done
returns you to the previous screen.
NOTE:
Selecting Reset also clears any
changes you made to “Auto Daylight
Saving Time,” “Auto Time Zone by
GPS,” or “DST Selection” settings.
Depending on your location, you may
need to adjust these settings.

Rearview Camera
Your vehicle is equipped with a
rearview camera as shown in the
illustration.
Whenever you shift to R (Reverse) with
the ignition switch in the ON (II)
position, the rear view is shown on the
navigation screen. For the best image,
always keep the rearview camera lens
clean, and be sure it is not covered.
Since the rearview camera display area
is limited, you should always back up
slowly and carefully, and look behind
you for obstacles.
Rearview Camera Brightness
Adjustment
When the vehicle is in reverse, the touch
screen and navigation “hard” buttons
are locked out, except the ZOOM
buttons. Touching the “ ▼” or “ ▲”
button allows you to adjust the
brightness of the rearview camera
image. This brightness adjustment is
independent of the screen brightness
adjustment in Setup.
NOTE:
The camera brightness cannot be adjusted by voice control.
Slight delays can occur when switching to the ca mera image, or
switching back to the map/menu
screen. This is normal.

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 126, System Limitations on
page 103, or Troubleshooting on
page 133.
