2012 Acura TL navigation update

Frequently Asked Questions
158 Navigation System
Guidance, Routing
Problem Solution
The navigation system does not route me the same way
I would go, or the way some other mapping program
displays. Why is this? The navigation system attempts to generate the optimum route. See
Changing
the Routing Method o n p a g e 5 3 .
The navigation wants to route me around potential traffi c
problems. How do I stop these pop-up messages? This feature can be turned off. See
Traffi c Rerouting on page 112 .
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 page 136 for ways
to obtain the latest detailed 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 back of the navigation display) may
be blocked by personal items. For best reception, remove items from the
dashboard, such as radar detectors, cell phones, or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devices can interfere with the GPS reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on page 131 .
I entered a destination, but the blue highlighted route
and voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/pink
dashed line before I got to my destination. Why is this? Your route has entered an unverifi
ed area. See Unverifi ed Area Routing on
page 108 .
The map rotates while I make turns. How can 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 64 .
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orientations. Why is this? The Heading-up map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales (1/20 -
1 mile scales). See
Map Scale on page 66 .
While driving to my destination, 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 traffi
c, the system updates the “Time
to go” based of your actual speed 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 system 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 page 131 .

Frequently Asked Questions

Update DVD, Coverage, Map Errors, Limitations
Problem Solution
When is my city going to become part of a fully verifi ed
detailed coverage area? The mapping database vendor is constantly revising map coverage. See page 136
for ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.
Will the navigation system work outside North America? The system contains maps for the 50 U.S. states, as well as for Canada, Puerto
Ri

co, and Mexico. See Map Coverage on page 136 .
Can I play video DVDs in my navigation system? No. The navigation system is designed only to read music discs and the update DVD provided with your vehicle. The system cannot read other mapping
databases or video DVDs. If you experience any problems that you cannot
resolve, please contact your dealer.
I found some errors in the database. How do I report
them? Minor errors are bound to occur in a large database. If you encounter major
errors, you can report them following the instructions on page 134 .
