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 information 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
DVD may contain
inaccurate or inco mplete data or
information due to the passage of time,
road construction, ch anging conditions,
or other causes.
Due to ongoing software and database
improvements, navigation disc 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 disc. For DVD ordering
information, see page104. In addition, this database does not
include, analyze, proc
ess, 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
 Road traffic, safety, or conditions
 Weather conditions
 Special events
 Pavement characteristics or conditions

Customer Assistance
Reporting Errors
Occasionally, you may encounter
database errors.
 If the error pertains to freeways and
main “verified” roads shown in black
on the map, then report it either
online at
http://update.navteq.com/ , or to
Honda Customer Service.
 If the error involves a light brown “unverified” road, then do not report
it. These areas have not been verified,
and are provided for reference only
(see Map Overview on page6).
 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 and when your DVD
was purchased, the database can be
out of date. The business may have
not reported the change(s), or not be
in the database at all. Update
Navigation DVDs are available for
purchase, usually in the fall of each
year.  If the error does not involve the
database, such as vehicle position
icon errors, screen error messages, or
other GPS-related errors, see
Frequently Asked Questions on
page123, System Limitations on
page99, or Troubleshooting on
page133.

Customer Assistance
Visiting Your Dealer
We 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 fi rst consulting the
following resources:
 The Troubleshooting section (see page133).
 The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section (see page123).
 The FAQs found on the online DVD order site (see “Obtaining a DVD”).
 For detailed questions regarding audio or other systems that interact
with the navigation system, see the
main vehicle Owner’s manual or the
Quick Start Guide.  Call Honda Customer Relations (see
“Honda Automobile Customer
Service” on page103).
 For database or PO I issues, follow the
guidelines in the “Reporting Errors”
section (see page103).
If your question is still unanswered and
you wish to visit the dealer, please be
prepared to demonstrate the issue to the
service advisor. This 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 is cold.
This information is very useful to the
service advisor. Be patient, the service
advisor may be unfamiliar with your
specific issue.
Obtaining a Navigation
Update DVD
Honda 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 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 incompatible with your
current software.

Coverage Areas
Map Coverage
The system provides map coverage for
the lower 48 U.S. states, Hawaii, and
southern Canada. The U.S. map
coverage consists of accurately mapped
(verified) metropolitan areas (in the
following list) and a less accurate
(unverified) rural database. Canada
coverage consists of major metropolitan
areas and major roads connecting the
metropolitan areas within about 100
miles north of the U.S. border. If you
need additional northern Canada
coverage, you may purchase the
Canadian DVD (see Obtaining a
Navigation Update DVD on page104).
See Map Overview on page6 for a
discussion of map coverage.
The cities and metropolitan areas in the
following list are fully mapped. Only
major streets, roads, and freeways have
been verified outside these areas. If your
route passes through these areas, routing
may be limited, depending on your
routing choices. See Unverified Area
Routing on page84. If you desire additional map coverage
information, contact Honda Customer
Services or go to
