System Overview
Your navigation system is a highly
sophisticated location system with voice
control that uses satellites and a map
database to show you where you are and
to help guide you to a desired
destination.
The navigation system receives signals
from the global positioning system
(GPS), a network of 24 satellites in orbit
around the earth. By receiving signals
from several of these satellites, the
navigation system can determine the
latitude, longitude, and elevation of
your vehicle. In addition, a gyroscopic
yaw sensor and a vehicle speed sensor
in your vehicle keep track of the
direction and speed of travel at all times.
This vehicle’s navigation display, if so
equipped, includes mercury-containing
components. Upon removal, please
reuse, recycle, or dispose of as
hazardous waste. NOTICE

Introduction
Verified streets (dark colored) Unverified streets (light colored)
When
displayed These roads are found within
metropolitan areas, and
include interstate freeways and major roads
connecting cities. These roads are found in rural
areas, and typically include
residential street s away from the center of a town.
Street color Shown on daytime
map screen as black or red, such as
interstate freeways. Shown on the daytime
map screen as light brown.
Map quality The database vendor has
verified these streets.
Information like tu rn restrictions, average speed, and
whether it is a one-way street have been gathered and
used when creating your route to a destination. These streets have not been veri
fied by the database vendor. The
system does not contain inform ation on one-way streets, turn
restrictions, or the road’s average speed. They are shown on the
map for reference and may have e rrors in map location, naming,
and address range.
Routing
differences While driving to your destin
ation, the displayed route
line is solid blue. The sy stem provides voice and map
guidance to your destination. Your route line is either a blue
dotted “vector line,” or a dashed
pink/blue line. For information on selecting this option, and the
routing differences, see Unverified Area Routing on page 84.
Cautions There are no pop-up boxes urging extra caution during
a route. However, because roads constantly change,
you are urged to use common
sense, and always obey
posted traffic restrictions. Regardless of whether the user c
hooses route guidance, there are
cautionary screens before and dur ing the route urging the user to
be extra cautious, and obey a ll traffic restrictions. See Unverified
Area Routing on page 84.
Guidance
voice Voice guidance issues instruct
ions such as “In a half-
mile, make a right turn.” The phrase “if possible” is added
to each guidance instruction.
For example: “In a half-mile, ma ke a right turn, if possible.”
Time and
distance
“to go” The time and distance “t
o go,” displayed while en
route to a destination, is based on the average speed
and distance for the roads used for your route. Because the average speed of thes
e roads is not known, the time
and distance “to go” is based on a fixed average speed of 25 mph
for these roads.

Getting Started
Voice Control Basics
Your vehicle has a voice control system
that allows hands-free operation of most
of the navigation system functions. You
can also control the audio and climate
control system. The voice control
system uses the NAVI TALK and NAVI
BACK buttons on the steering wheel
and a microphone near the map lights on
the ceiling.
NOTE:
While using the voice control system,
the audio system is muted.
NAVI TALK button
This button activates the voice control
system. Press and release it when you
want to give a voice command. See
Voice Command Index on page 138 for
a list of voice commands.
NAVI BACK button
This button has the same function as the
CANCEL button. When you press and
release it, the display returns to the
previous screen. When the previous
screen appears, the system replays the
last prompt. This button is enabled for
navigation system commands only.
However, it can be used to cancel an
audio or climate control voice command
up to one second after the command
confirmation.
NOTE:
The NAVI TALK and NAVI BACK
buttons are deactivated while using the
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® feature.
See your Owner’s Manual and the
official website
(handsfreelink.honda.com ) for
