The Startup Confirmation screen is displayed every
time I start the car.This is normal. The Startup Confirmation screen reminds you and your guest drivers to
always operate the navigation system in a safe manner.
The navigation system reboots by itself (returns to the
opening screen).A reboot can be caused by extreme temperatures or shock from bumpy roads, and
does not necessarily indicate a problem. If this happens frequently, please see your
dealer.
How do I specify a destination when an entered city or
street could not be found?• Try entering the street first. Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area. In rural “unverified” areas or new subdivisions, streets may be missing or only partially
numbered.
• Try selecting the destination directly from the map.
2 Map Input P. 75
Why do some letters become grayed out when I enter
an address?As you enter each letter in an address or a place/landmark, the navigation system
looks in the database to see what letters are possible and grays out letters that do not
apply.

Destinations, or the Home Address?1. Press the INFO button. Select Setup > Personal Information to display the types
of information.
2. Select the type of address to delete.

Troubleshooting
The navigation system pronunciation of street names
in the guidance command or destination address
sounds strange.The basic guidance phrases use a studio-recorded voice, but street names are
pronounced using a machine-generated voice. Consequently, the name may be
mispronounced or sound strange at times.

Traffic
Guidance, Routing
ProblemSolution
My FM Traffic is missing or is not displaying properly.
What is wrong?Verify the following:
• FM Traffic relies on a clear FM signal. If signal strength is low, traffic data may not be available.
• Check the traffic icon on the icon bar, and the icon options for traffic.
2 Showing Icons on the Map P. 92
• It is possible that there is a temporary technical problem with your metropolitan area traffic. You can call Honda Automobile Customer Service to see if there is an
outrage.
2 Honda Automobile Customer Service Contact Information P. 184
• If the situation persists, see your Honda dealer for assistance.
ProblemSolution
The navigation system does not route me the same
way I would go or the same way as other mapping
systems.The navigation system attempts to generate the optimal route. You can change the
route preferences used when calculating a route.
2 Changing the Route Preference P. 78
The street I’m on is not shown on the map screen.The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. You can access the most
recent information on the internet.
2Map Coverage P. 185
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.• Check that the GPS antenna (located in the dashboard) is not blocked. For best
reception, remove items from the dashboard, such as radar detectors, cell phones,
or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devi ces can interfere with the GPS reception.
Please consult your dealer.

TroubleshootingGuidance, Routing
Troubleshooting
The blue highlighted route and voice guidance
stopped or turned into a blue/pink dashed line before I
got to my destination.Your route has entered an unverified area. 2Unverified Area Routing P. 41
How do I stop the map from rotating as I drive along?Select the map orientation icon on the map screen, or say d “Display north-up” to
change the map orientation.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orientations.The Heading-up map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales (1/20 - 1 mile
scales).
2 Map Scale and Functions P. 95
The “time to destination” display sometimes increases
even though I am getting closer to my destination.If your speed reduces due to slower traffic, the navigation system updates the “time to
destination” based on your actual road 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.This is normal. The navigation system is unaware of the width of intersections. Large
differences in vehicle position can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal.
2 GPS System P. 182
The screen is showing white dots as I drive along.These dots are called “breadcrumbs.” These are displayed if Off-road Tracking is set
to On and you drive more than 1/2 mile off mapped roads.
2Off-road Tracking P. 50
How do I remove the white dots (“breadcrumbs”)
from my screen?Press the INFO button. Select Setup > Other > Vehicle , and set Off-road Tracking
to Off , then return to the map.
2Off-road Tracking P. 50
A road that I selected to avoid is being used when
routing.When you “draw” your area to avoid, make sure to select sections of roads that
include at least one intersection.
2Avoiding Streets P. 102
My elevation (shown when I display the current
position) seems to fluctuate even though my elevation
has not changed.This is normal. The elevation can vary ±100 feet due to GPS calculation errors. 2GPS System P. 182

My elevation is missing on the “current position”
screen.The elevation is only displayed if the GPS antenna can receive signals from at least four
satellites. Try moving the vehicle into an open area. The elevation is also not displayed
if the calculated elevation is zero or below sea level.
ProblemSolution
My city is not part of a fully verified detailed coverage
area.The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. You can access the most
recent information on the internet.
2Map Coverage P. 185
