2013 HONDA ODYSSEY navigation system

232Reference Information
System InitializationThe navigation system must be initialized if
power to the navigation system is
interrupted for any reason (e.g., the
battery was disconnected).Entering the Security CodeWhen you purchased the vehicle, you
should have received a card with the
navigation system security code and serial
number. Keep this card in a safe place. If
you lose the card, you must obtain the
security code from your dealer.
1.Press the VOLUME button to activate
the audio system.
2. Enter the 5-digit security code when
prompted using the radio preset
buttons.
Acquiring GPS InformationDepending on the length of time the
power was interrupted, your system may
require GPS initialization.
If initialization is not necessary, the system
proceeds directly to the Startup
Confirmation screen.
If the system fails to locate a sufficient
number of satellites to locate your position
within 10 minutes, th e following screen is
displayed.
If you are experiencing GPS reception

234Reference Information
System LimitationsGPS SystemThe 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
GPS antenna is located in the dashboard.
The signal reception can easily be
interrupted or interfered with by the
following:
• Metallic window tint on the front or side
windows
• Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic
devices docked in a cradle or lying loose
on the dashboard
• Remote starters or “hidden” vehicle
tracking systems mounted near the
navigation unit
• Audio electronic devices mounted near
the navigation unit
• Trees, tall buildings, freeway overpasses,
tunnels, or overhead electrical power
wires
The GPS is operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense. For security
reasons, there are certain inaccuracies built
into the GPS for wh ich the navigation
system must constantly compensate. This can cause occasional positioning errors of
up to several hundred feet.
Address CalculationThe destination icon shows only the
approximate location of a destination
address. This occurs if the number of
possible addresses is different from the
number of actual addresses on a block.
e.g., the address 1425 on a 1400 block
with 100 possible addresses (because it is
followed by the 1500 block) will be shown
a quarter of the way down the block by
the system. If there are only 25 actual
addresses on the block,
the actual location
of address 1425 would be at the end of
the block.
DatabaseThe digitized map database reflects
conditions as they existed at various points
in time before production. Accordingly,
your database may contain inaccurate or
incomplete data or information due to the
passage of time, road construction,
changing conditions, or other causes.
For example, some places/landmarks may
be missing when you search the database
because the name was misspelled, the
place was improperly categorized, or a
place/landmark is not yet in the database.
This is also true for police stations,
hospitals, and other public institutions. Do
not rely on the navigation system if you
need law enforcement or hospital services.
Always check with local information
sources.

Database
Reference Information
In addition, the map database contains
verified and unverified areas. Unverified
streets may be missing from the map, in
the wrong location, or have an incorrect
name or address range. A message will
warn you if your route includes unverified
streets. Exercise additional caution when
driving in unve rified areas.
The database does not include, analyze,
process, consider, or reflect any of the
following categories of information:
• Neighborhood quality or safety
• Population density
• Availability or proximity of law
enforcement
• Emergency, rescue, medical, or other
assistance
• Construction work, zones, or hazards
• Road and lane closures
• Legal restrictions (such as vehicular type,
weight, load, height, and speed
restrictions)
• Road slope or grade
• Bridge height, width, weight, or other
limits
• Traffic facilities safety
• Special events •
Pavement characteristics or conditions
Every effort has been made to verify that
the database is accurate. The number of
inaccuracies you experience increases the
longer you go without obtaining an
updated map database.
