System Limitations
Although your navigation system is one
of the most highly sophisticated pieces
of equipment you will find in a modern
automobile, you may find during its use
that it has certain limitations.
The system uses GPS signals to aid in
determining its current location. The
GPS is operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense. For security
reasons, there are certain inaccuracies
built into the GPS that the navigation
system must constantly compensate for.
This can cause occasional positioning
errors of up to several hundred feet.
For example, in urban areas where
streets are close together, this could
cause the system to show that you are
traveling on a street that parallels the
street you are actually on. The system
will, under most circumstances, correct
itself while you drive. Depending on your current view of the
sky and the position of
the satellites, the
elevation may be shown incorrectly.
You may also notice some delay of the
vehicle position icon at intersections;
this is normal.
GPS Reception IssuesThe signals received from the GPS
satellites are extremely weak (less than
a millionth of the strength of a local FM
station) and require an unobstructed
view of sky. The signal can easily be
interrupted or interfered with by the
following:
 Aftermarket metallic window tint
above or to the sides of the GPS
antenna (located under the
dashboard)
 Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic devices docked in a cradle
or lying loose near the dashboard
 Radar detectors mounted near the dashboard
 Remote starters, or “hidden” vehicle tracking systems mounted near the
navigation unit  Other aftermarket audio electronic
devices mounted near the navigation
unit
 Trees, tall buildings, freeway overpasses, tunnels, or overhead
electrical power wires
Although the system will direct you to
your desired destination, it may not
always generate what you consider to be
the most direct route. Try changing the
method of routing. See Changing
Routing Method on page 47. You may
also have Unverified Area Routing set
to OFF. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 87.
Additionally, the mapping database
contains verified and unverified maps.
See Map Overview on page6.
A Disclaimer screen will warn you if
your route includes unverified streets.
Unverified streets may be missing from
the map, in the wrong location, or have
an incorrect name or address range.
Exercise additional caution when
driving in these unverified areas.

Customer AssistanceVisiting Your DealerWe strive to make this manual as
complete as possible and to answer all
questions regarding operation of the
system. Occasionally, you may run into
a specific issue that you cannot find in
the book. You may save yourself a trip
to the dealer by first consulting the
following resources:
 The Troubleshooting section (see page 135).
 The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section (see page 128).
 The FAQs found on the online DVD order site (see “Obtaining a
Navigation Update DVD”).
 For detailed questions regarding HFL, audio, or other systems that
interact with the navigation system,
see your Owner’s Manual or the
Technology Reference Guide.  Call Honda Customer
Relations (see
“Honda Automobile Customer
Service” on page 109).
 For database or POI issues, follow the guidelines in the “Reporting Errors”
section (see page 109).
If your question is still unanswered and
you wish to visit the dealer, please be
prepared to demonstrate the issue to the
service advisor. That way, the service
advisor can document the issue for the
factory to allow more efficient
troubleshooting.
Some issues may at first seem random,
but you may notice a pattern. For
example, they only occur when you
enter a specific address, or when driving
on a certain road, or just when it’s cold.
This information is very useful to the
service advisor. Be patient, the service
advisor may be unfa miliar with your
specific issue.
Obtaining a Navigation
Update DVDHonda is continua lly expanding the
scope of the navigation system.
Upgraded software may be made
available to navigation system owners
periodically, usually in the fall of each
year.To purchase an updated DVD or a
replacement DVD, call the Honda
Navigation Disc Fulfillment Center at
(888) 291-4675. You can also order
online by going to
www.hondanavi.com.
NOTE:
 DVDs are not available at your dealer. However, the dealer may
order a DVD for you as a courtesy.
There is no program for free DVD
updates.
 The DVD order line staff cannot answer technical questions regarding
navigation operation, coverage, or
POIs.
 Purchasing used discs from alternate sources or online auctions may cause
operational problems since they are
likely to be incom patible with your
current software.

Changing the DVDNOTE:
The system’s database is stored on a
removable DVD. The system will not
work without the DVD. Ensure the door
remains closed at all times.
1. Locate the control unit. It is in the
right side floor storage compartment
of the cargo area.
2. Remove the DVD while the ignition switch is in the ACCESSORY (I)
position or in the ON (II) position.
3. Push the OPEN button. An error
message will be displayed on the
screen. This is normal. 4. Push the
Eject button. The DVD will
automatically come out.
5. Pull the DVD straight out. Hold the DVD by the edges. Fingerprints,
scratches, or other contamination on
the playing surface can make the
DVD unreadable.
To install the DVD, make sure the white
label is facing up. Slide the DVD into
the slot. The DVD is automatically
pulled into the contro l unit. Make sure
you close the door. NOTE:
 The system will not play movies or
other video/audio discs.
 Never “sneak preview” a newer white labeled DVD in the system
unless you plan to keep it. The system
cannot automatically revert to a prior
version DVD. If you must revert to a
previous version DVD, see your
dealer for assistance.
 Please keep the door to the navigation control unit closed at all
times.
PC CardA PC card is not supplied. The PC card
slot is for factory use only. This slot
cannot be used to play audio files.

Navigation System
2NX_Accord Crosstour 31TP6800
Coverage AreasOperation in Alaska and
HawaiiCertain functions that rely on a satellite
signal will not work correctly in Alaska
and Hawaii. These functions include but
are not limited to XM radio, automatic
clock updates, and time zone
adjustments.AlaskaIf the vehicle was purchased in the
lower 48 states and driven to Alaska, the
system cannot display maps. The
message “Vehicle is out of the
database...” will be displayed.HawaiiThis section describes the differences in
navigation system operation for vehicles
delivered in Hawaii.
XM RadioNavigation vehicles delivered to Hawaii
are equipped with XM hardware, but XM
broadcasting is not available; therefore
sections of the manual that mention XM
audio do not apply. Vehicles originally
delivered to the U.S. mainland and
shipped to Hawaii also have XM, but
will not function because the XM
satellites (aimed toward the U.S.
mainland) are too far away to obtain
reception.Map CoverageAll roads displayed on the Hawaii map
screens are detailed coverage roads.
Text related to “unverified” roads or
areas are not applicable. The following
topics do not apply in Hawaii:
 Unverified road descriptions (see page 6, 87 ).
 Cautions and pop-up windows related to unverified roads (see page 64).
 Setup entries that relate to turning on or off unverified routing (see
page 88).
 When zooming in and out, there is no 350-mile scale for Hawaii. Other Map Issues
 See the coverage se
ction for a list of
islands with coverage (see page 112).
 Freeway Exit information does not exist in Hawaii, so the “Freeway Exit
Info” icon is not shown on the icon
bar.

Address and POI Entry ScreensWhen in Hawaii, the following
differences occur for map, address, and
POI selection:
 It is not possible to enter U.S.
mainland addresses or scroll the map
east to the U.S. mainland.
 Selection of the “State” is confined to the state of Hawaii only.
 Entry of a destination address or POI on an island other than your current
island may result in a screen caution
message. This is normal because
there are no “ferry” routes between
islands available in the database.
 If the “Guidance Prompts” setting on the SETUP screen ( Main Setup) is
set to normal or maximum, street
names will not be spoken in voice
guidance commands.
Setup Screen DifferencesThe SETUP screen differences are
minor and are listed below. See the
Setup section (page 77) for additional
information.Routing and Guidance (Unverified
Area Routing On/Off)This feature is unavailable. All roads
displayed on the map are verified.Clock Adjust ScreenThere is no daylight saving time for
Hawaii. Auto Daylight , Auto Time
Zone , and DST Selection will not be
shown on the Clock adjustment
screen. To test your adjustment, use the
voice control system, and say “What
time is it?” (see page 94).
Shipping a Vehicle To
or From HawaiiAlthough the DVD in the vehicle
contains maps for both U.S. mainland
and Hawaii, the dealer must perform the
selection of “U.S. mainland” or
“Hawaii” for you. When the dealer
makes the switch from U.S. mainland to
Hawaii or vice versa, the system clears
all user data. Make sure to record any
personal information that you do not
want to lose.
NOTE:
Shipping a vehicle from Hawaii to the
U.S. mainland
 If you wish to receive XM audio, you
must call XM and set up an account
at (800) 852-9696.
Shipping a vehicle from the U.S.
mainland to Hawaii
 If a U.S. mainland-delivered vehicle is shipped to Hawaii, there is no XM
reception. It is necessary to see your
Hawaii dealer to allow viewing of
local Hawaii maps.
 The issues under “Operation in Hawaii” above apply.

Frequently Asked QuestionsDaylight saving time occurred, but the navigation system did
not change time even though SETUP shows Auto Daylight
is ON . Go to the
Clock adjustment screen in SETUP and select DST Selection.
Ensure that the correct DST schedule is selected. For more information, see
Clock Adjustment on page94.
The navigation system automatic daylight time feature is not
switching the navigation system clock on the correct dates.
Why is this? 1) Go to the Clock adjustment
screen in SETUP and ensure that Auto
Daylight is ON .
2) The navigation system is designed to switch to daylight saving time according to the months selected in the DST schedule selection screen.
Ensure that the appropriate schedule is selected. For more information,
see Clock Adjustment on page94.
The navigation system clock switched by one hour for no
apparent reason. What can cause this? 1) You may be driving near a time zone boundary (see
Auto Daylight on
page 95).
2) The navigation system does not switch between standard and daylight saving time. Set Auto Daylight to ON on the Clock adjustment screen
in SETUP, and ensure that the correct month switching schedule is
chosen on the DST schedule selection screen. See page95 for more
information.
My battery was disconnected or went dead, and the
navigation system is asking for a code. Where do I find this
code? There should be a card in the glove
box with the anti-theft code for the
navigation/audio system. This card contains the 4-digit security code and
serial number. If you cannot find it, your dealer can help you out.
I speak a language other than English. When will other
languages be available for the navigation system? This is being considered as a future enhancement.
