Driving to Your Destination
Map OrientationThe map can be orientated two ways:
 North-up: North pointing up as you
would normally view a paper map.
 Heading-up: The map constantly rotates so the road you are driving on
always points up (as you see the road
through your front windshield).
NOTE:
The red arrow in both heading symbols
always shows the direction north. Push in on the
Interface Dial on the
map or guidance screen and select
North-up or Heading-up to switch
between the available orientation, or say
“Display heading up” or “Display north
up.”
In the larger map scales (above 1 mile or
1.6 kilometer), the map is always
oriented with north facing upward. You
cannot change the orientation.
NOTE:
For information on the available voice
commands, see Voice Command Index
on page 140.
Destination IconThe destination icon only shows the
approximate location of the destination.
This occurs because a city block can
have as many as 100 possible addresses
(for example, the 1400 block is followed
by the 1500 block). Most cities use only
a portion of the 100 possible addresses
(for example, in the 1400 block, the
addresses may only go up to 1425
before the 1500 block starts). Therefore,
the address 1425 will be shown a
quarter of the way down the block by
the system instead of near the end of the
block where the destin ation is actually
located.
Tip:
When en route, you can view a map
showing your destin ation. Using voice
control, say “Display destination map.”

For instance, let’s assume that hospital
icons are not displayed on the map, and
you want to make sure that your settings
are correct. You would do the
following:
 First, you would ensure that the
“OTHER ICON” button on the Icon
bar is blue (see Icon Bar on page60).
 Second, you select ICON OPTIONS
and verify that the hospital option is
also on (blue). This procedure is
explained below.
If you select Other Icons from the
Select category for icon settings
screen, the other icon options are
displayed: In the previous example, only
POST
OFFICE and SCHOOL are selected
and will show up on the map. To also
see HOSPITAL on the map, this would
need to be turned on by first selecting it
and then pushing in on the Interface
Dial to select it so it appears as below.
Exit, and save your settings by moving
the Interface Dial to the right
(DONE ). NOTE:
 When viewing the
map screen, you
can turn some icons on using voice
control.
See Voice Command Index on
page 141 for the available “Display”
and “Hide” icon command.00_Accord 2D4D_KA.book 61 ページ ２０１１年７月２１日　木曜日　午後１時５９分

Accord 2D4D_KA 31TA5840
Going Off the RouteIf you leave the calculated route,
“Recalculating...” is displayed at the top
of the screen. The system will
recalculate the route from your current
location and direction to the desired
destination, and then give you a new
route instruction. This is done
automatically if you have set
Rerouting to AUTOMATIC
on the
SETUP
screen (
Other
) (see page86).
If the Rerouting option in SETUP is
set to MANUAL , “Off route” appears at
the top of the screen when you leave the
calculated route. Say “Recalculate” or
select Recalculation whenever you
want the system to perform a
recalculation.
Off-road TrackingIf you drive more than half a mile from
a mapped road, “Not on a digitized
road” appears at the bottom of the
screen.The
map
screen starts displaying a
series of dots (breadcrumbs) to show the
path you have taken if
Off-road
Tracking
on the
SETUP
screen
(
Other
) is set to
ON
(see page 96). By following the dots, you can backtrack
to the mapped road you originally left.
“Breadcrumbs” may occasionally be
displayed in urban ar
eas, such as large
parking lots in shopping malls, or in new
subdivisions where the roads are not yet
in the database. In other cases, you may
see dots if the system temporarily goes
off route, like in a parking garage where
the GPS signal is unavailable.
These dots appear only in the 1/20, 1/8,
1/4, and 1/2 mile (or 80, 200, 400, and
800 meter) map scales. Rotate the
Interface Dial knob to change scales
if necessary.
Tracking continues for approximately
150 miles; dots at the beginning of the
trail will start disappearing when you
exceed that distance. When you reach a
mapped road, the system stops
displaying dots.

Viewing/Saving the Current
LocationWhenever you are on a map screen, you
can always obtain your current location
either by pushing in on the Interface
Dial , selecting Show Icon on Map ,
and selecting Current Location, or by
using the voice control system and
saying “Display current location.” A
screen pops up which shows the address
of your current location, as well as the
latitude, longitude, and elevation. NOTE:
The elevation will not appear when the
system is temporarily lacking proper
GPS information. The system elevation
may not agree with elevations shown on
roadside elevation signs, and may
fluctuate plus or minus 100 feet or more.
You can store the current location for
later use. It does not change or cancel
your current route.
For example, you are following the
system’s directions to get to a
destination. While sitting at a stoplight
you notice a store on the corner, but do
not have time to visit it right now. You
can save the location to select as a
destination at a later date.To save the location, say “Save current
location” or select Save
on the Current
location screen. When you select “User
1” or “User 2”, the Edit address book
screen with the current location data
will appear. You ca n edit the name,
phone number, or category name to be
saved in your personal Address Book.
After the location is saved, select
Return to return to the map screen.
You can then use Address Book from
the MENU screen ( Enter destination
by ) to select the saved location and
return to the same spot.00_Accord 2D4D_KA.book 63 ページ ２０１１年７月２１日　木曜日　午後１時５９分
