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 Startup
Confirmation screen goes off after a certa in period of time, even if you do not
select OK.
The navigation system reboots by itself (returns to
the opening screen).A reboot can be caused by extreme temper atures 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. 96
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.

the Home Address?1. Select HOME > Settings > Navigation > Personal Info tab to display the
types of information.

Traffic
ProblemSolution
Traffic information is missing or is not displaying
properly. What is wrong?Verify the following:●Traffic information relies on a clear signal. If signal strength is low, traffic data
may not be available.
●Check that the traffic icons are turned on.
2 Showing Icons on the Map P. 51●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 outage.
2 Honda Automobile Customer Service Contact Information P. 226●If the situation persists, see your Honda dealer for assistance.●Traffic information is available only in certain areas.
The navigation system sometimes provides a detour
route when I am driving a route on the freeway.If Traffic Rerouting is set to On, the navigation system provides a detour route
to your destination only if it can find a si gnificantly faster route than the original
one.
2 Traffic Rerouting P. 42
The navigation system routes me to an exit and an
alternate freeway with unknown flow speeds or
surface streets.The navigation system predicts which r oute should be faster based on freeway
congestion along your route. Use your ow n experience to determine whether the
alternate route would be faster.
How can I ignore the detour route and return to the
original route?Select HOME > Settings > Navigation > Routing tab, and set Traffic
Rerouting to Off .

Troubleshooting
Guidance, Routing
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 genera te the optimal route. You can change
the route preferences used when calculating a route.
2 Route Preference P. 39
The street I’m on is not shown on the map screen.The mapping database is constantly under going revision. You can access the most
recent information on the internet.
2 Map Coverage P. 227
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 dash board, such as radar detectors, cell
phones, or loose articles.
●Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devices can interfere with the GPS
reception. Please consult your dealer.
2 GPS System P. 224
The blue highlighted route and voice guidance
stopped or turned into a pink line before I got to my
destination.Your route has entered an unverified area.
2 Unverified Routing P. 40
How do I stop the map from rotating as I drive
along?Select the map orientation icon on the map screen to select the north-up icon, or
say
“Display north-up ” to change the map orientation.
Sometimes, I cannot sele ct between the North-up,
Heading-up and 3D map orientations.The Heading-up map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales (1/20 - 1
mile (80 m-1.6 km) scales). The 3D map orientation can only be shown in the
lower scales (1/20 - 2 mile (80 m-3 km) scales).
2 Map Scale and Functions P. 58
The “time to destination” display sometimes
increases even though I am getting closer to my
destination.If your speed reduces due to slower tra ffic, the navigation system updates the
“time to destination” based on your ac tual road speed to give you a better
estimate of arrival time.

Update, Coverage, Map Errors
ProblemSolution
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short
distance behind, especially when I arrive at an
intersection.This is normal. The navigati on system is unaware of the width of intersections.
Large differences in vehicle position ca n indicate a temporary loss of the GPS
signal.
2 GPS System P. 224
The screen is showing wh ite dots as I drive along.These dots are called “breadcr umbs.” 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. 61
How do I remove the white dots (“breadcrumbs”)
from my screen?Select HOME > Settings > Navigation > Map tab, and set Off-road Tracking
to Off , then return to the map.
2Off-road Tracking P. 61
A road that I selected to avoid is being used when
routing.When you set your area to avoid, make sure to select sections of roads that include
at least one intersection.
2 Avoiding Streets P. 119
My elevation (shown when I display the current
position) seems to fluc tuate even though my
elevation has not changed.This is normal. The elevation can vary ±1 00 feet due to GPS calculation errors.
2GPS System P. 224
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.
