the screen.
On any of the Setup screens, you can

Navigation System
Database LimitationsYou 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 jewellery
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 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 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 page 103.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
• Road traffic, safety, or conditions

Client AssistanceReporting ErrorsOccasionally, you may encounter
database errors.
For errors pertaining to:
• Highways and main verified roads
shown in black on the map
• Missing or wrong address location
Report it to:
http://update.navteq.com/
For any other questions or concerns,
contact Acura Client Services.
• Keep in mind that depending on when
the data was collected and when your
DVD was purchased, the database
can be out of date. Updates 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, refer to the
Frequently Asked Questions on
page 117, System Limitations on
page 98, or Troubleshooting on

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Guidance, Routing
Problem Solution
The navigation does not route me the same way I would go, or
the way some other mapping program displays. Why is this?The navigation system attempts to generate the optimum route. See
Changing the Routing Method on page 46.
Why is the street I’m on not shown on the map? It has been
here for more than a year.The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. See page 103 for
ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.
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.• The GPS antenna (located under the centre of the dashboard) may be
blocked by personal items. For best reception, remove items from the
dashboard, such as radar detectors, cell phones, or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devices can interfere with the GPS
reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on page 98.
I entered a destination, but the blue highlighted route and
voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/pink dashed line
before I got to my destination. Why is this?Your route has entered an unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 83.
The map rotates while I make turns. How can I stop this? Select the North-up map orientation by voice, or by touching the map
orientation icon on the map screen. See Map Orientation on page 55.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orientations. Why is this?The Heading-up map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales
(80 metre - 1.6 kilometre scales). See Map Scale on page 54.
While driving to my destination, the “time to go” display
sometimes increases, even though I am getting closer.The “Time to go” is based on actual road speeds. However if your speed
slows down when you encounter slower traffic, the system updates the
“Time to go” based on your actual speed to give you a better estimate of
arrival time.
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short distance
behind, especially when I arrive at an intersection. Is there
anything wrong?No. When at an intersection, the system is unaware of the width of the
intersecting road. Large differences in vehicle position can indicate a
temporary loss of the GPS signal. See GPS Reception Issues on page 98.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ordering a Navigation DVD, Coverage, Map Errors, Limitations
Problem Solution
I want to buy a new DVD. How do I purchase one? You cannot obtain a new DVD from the dealer. See Obtaining a Navigation
Update DVD on page 103.
I want to order a DVD. How can I determine the DVD version
in my navigation system?The version is on the label of your DVD. It starts with “Ver:.” See Changing
the DVD on page 104.
I got a navigation DVD from a friend or an online source, but
it does not work. Why?Your vehicle was designed to use a turquoise (blue/green) DVD. DVDs
with differently coloured labels or from different manufacturers will not
operate correctly. Always obtain DVDs from the DVD order desk. See
page 103.
When is my city going to become part of a fully verified
detailed coverage area?The mapping database vendor is constantly revising map coverage. See
page 103 for ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.
Will the navigation system work outside Canada? The navigation system contains maps only for Canada and the lower 48 U.S.
states. The system will not work in Mexico, Hawaii, Alaska, or overseas.
U.S. coverage is limited. See Map Coverage on page 107.
Can I play video DVDs in my navigation system? No. The navigation system is designed only to read the turquoise (blue/
green) DVD provided with your vehicle. Map discs for other vehicle
manufacturers or PC map programs will not work.
I found some errors in the database. How do I report them? Minor errors are bound to occur in a large database. If you encounter major
errors, you can report them following the instructions on page 102.
