Navigation System
System LimitationsAlthough 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 tens of metres.
For example, in urban areas where
streets are close together, this could
cause the system to show that you are
travelling 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 on the dashboard
• Radar detectors mounted 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, highway
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
Routing Method on page 46. You may
also have Unverified Area Routing set
to OFF. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 83.
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.

Navigation SystemClient Assistance
Visiting 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 126).
• The Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs) section (see page 117).
• For detailed questions regarding
audio or other systems that interact
with the navigation system, see your
Owner’s Manual or the Advanced
Technology Guide.
• Call Acura Client Services (see
“Acura Automobile Client Services”
on page 102).
• For database or POI issues, follow the
guidelines in the “Reporting Errors”
section (see page 102).If your question is still unanswered and
you wish to visit the dealer, please be
prepared to demonstrate the issue to the
service consultant. That way, the service
consultant 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 consultant. Be patient, the
service consultant may be unfamiliar
with your specific issue.
Obtaining a Navigation
Update DVDAcura is continually expanding the
scope of the navigation system.
Upgraded software with improved
mapping will be made available for
purchase periodically, usually in the fall
of each year.
To purchase an updated DVD or a
replacement DVD, order online at
www.acuranavi.ca.
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.

Navigation System105Client Assistance
PC Card OperationA PC card with WMA or MP3 audio
files can be played through the audio
system and controlled using the
navigation voice control system. PC
card (PCMCIA) adaptors and various
media chips can be purchased at any
computer store. Tested media chips
include Compact Flash and SD media,
up to 2GB. Other media types and
storage capacities may work, but have
not been tested. Hard disc drive type
media are not recommended because
they can fail in a hot vehicle. See the
FAQs section for additional
information.
Inserting the PC CardEnsure that the PCMCIA PC card
adaptor contains the media chip, and
that the card adaptor is fully inserted in
the slot, otherwise the display door will
not close. Once the card is inserted and
the door closed, there is a delay while
the system reads the tag information
(the folders, song titles, etc.). Once the
tag information is read, the “CARD” or
“TRACK LIST” buttons will function.
For more information on the search
feature, see the audio section of your
Owner’s Manual.Voice Control of PC Card
FunctionsThe navigation voice control system can
be used to select the first 30 tracks
directly by using the command, “Card
play track X” (X=1-30). Additional
voice commands allow the card tracks,
artists, and albums to be played in a
random, repeat, or scan mode. See the
complete list of “Card” voice
commands starting on see page 136.
CD/CD-R OperationA CD or a burned CD-R with MP3 or
WMA media files can be played by the
audio system and controlled using
navigation voice commands. The
display door will not close with a
partially inserted CD in the slot. Once
the display closes, there may be a slight
delay before the “CD” or “TRACK
LIST” buttons function. This is because
the system has to read the tag
information (artist, album, and track
names) to allow searches to function.
For more information on the search
feature, see the audio section of your
Owner’s Manual.
NOTE:
Ensure that burned CD-R discs do not
have “stick-on” paper labels. The label
adhesive can melt in a hot vehicle, and
allow the label to curl up and jam the
CD mechanism. Use a felt-tipped
marker to label your CD-R discs.
