Navigation System
System LimitationsAlso, 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 in the dashboard)
• 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 • 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 the
Route Preference on page 51. You may
also have Unverified Area Routing set
to OFF. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 98.
Additionally, the mapping database
contains verified and unverified maps.
See Map Overview on page 6. 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. The destination icon 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) Since 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), the
address 1425 will be shown a quarter of
the way down the block by the system
instead of at the end of the block where
the destination is actually located.
You may find that the system
occasionally reboots. This is indicated
by the display returning to the
navigation system globe screen. A
reboot can be caused by a number of
things, such as extreme temperatures or
shock from bumpy roads. It does not
necessarily indicate a problem that
requires service. If this happens
frequently, please see your dealer.

Navigation System121
Database Limitations
You will find that some points of
interest (POI) may be missing when you
search the database. This can be caused
if at the time the database was gathered,
the name was misspelled, the place was
improperly categorized, or the POI
change is not yet in the database. This
means you may not find places listed
that you know exist. This is also true for
police agencies and hospitals. In
outlying areas, facilities listed may not
be the closest. Always check with local
information sources if you need law
enforcement or hospital services.
Every effort has been made to verify
that the system’s database was accurate
at the time it was created. However,
businesses do close or relocate, and new
businesses start in the old locations.
For this reason, you may occasionally
find inaccurate in formation when you
select and drive to a point of interest (for
example, a restaurant is now a jewelry
store). The number of these inaccuracies
increases the longer you go without an
update. The 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.
Due to ongoing software and database
improvements, navigation software and
mapping versions may change in the
middle of a production year. The
version shipped with your vehicle was
the most recent available at the time of
production and is considered standard
equipment for that vehicle. There is no
free program to retrofit early production
vehicles with the latest software and
mapping versions. For update ordering
information, see page 124. In addition, this 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

Customer Assistance
Reporting ErrorsOccasionally, you may encounter
database errors.
• If the error pertains to freeways and
main “verified” roads shown in black
on the map, then report it online at
http://mapreporter.navteq.com/dur-
web-external/ .
• If the error involves a purple “unverified” road, then do not report
it. These areas have not been verified
and are provided for reference only
(see Map Overview on page 6).
• For errors in points of interest (POI), like a business that has changed its
name, do not report them. Keep in
mind that depending on when the data
was collected, the database can be out
of date. The business may have not
reported the change(s), or not be in
the database at all. Updates are
available for purchase, usually in the
fall of each year. See Obtaining a
Navigation Update on page 124
regarding updates to the navigation
system. • If the error does not involve the
database, such as vehicle position
icon error, screen error messages, or
other GPS related errors, see
Frequently Asked Questions on
page 143, System Limitations on
page 120, or Troubleshooting on
page 150.

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 150)
• The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section (see page 143)
• The FAQs found on the online update order site (see “Obtaining a
Navigation Update”)
• 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.
• For traffic-related issues, see the “FM Traffic” section (on page 23) and
FAQs (on page 143). • Call Honda Customer
Relations (see
“Honda Automobile Customer
Service” on page 123).
• For database or POI issues, follow the guidelines in the “Reporting Errors”
section (see page 123).
If your question is still unanswered and
you wish to visit the dealer, please be
prepared to demonstrate the issue to the
service technician. That way, the service
technician 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, like they
only occur when yo u enter a specific
address, when driving on a certain road,
or just when it’s cold. This information
is very useful to the service technician.
Be patient, the service technician may
be unfamiliar with yo ur specific issue.
Obtaining a Navigation
UpdateHonda is continually 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, you will need
your vehicle’s VIN number and the
System/Device Information from the
INFO screen ( Other). Call the Honda
Navigation Center at (888) 291-4675.
You can also order online by going to
www.hondanavi.com.
NOTE:
• Updates are not available at your dealer. However, the dealer may
order an update for you out of
courtesy. There is no program for
free updates.
• The update order line staff cannot answer technical questions regarding
navigation operation, coverage, or
POIs.

Problem Solution
My FM Traffic is missing and is not displaying properly.
What is wrong? Verify the following:
• FM Traffic relies on a clear FM sign
al. If the radio has poor signal
strength to traffic-broadcasting statio ns, traffic data may not be available.
• Check the traffic icon on the icon bar, and the icon options for traffic. See
page 59.
• It is possible that there is a temporary technical problem with your metropolitan area traffic. You can cal l Honda Customer Service to see if
there is an outage (page 123).
