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 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 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was collected, the database can be out
of date.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. See
Obtaining a Navigation Update DVD
on page 133 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 151, System Limitations on
page 129, or Troubleshooting on
page 159.

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 page 159)
• The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section (see page 151)
• The FAQs found on the online update DVD order site (see “Obtaining a
Navigation Update DVD”)
• For detailed questions regarding HFL, audio, or other systems that
interact with the navigation system,
see your Owner’s Manual, or the
Advanced Technology Guide.
• For traffic-related issues, see the “AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic”
section (on page 23) and FAQs (on
page 151). • Call Acura Client Services (see
Acura
Automobile Client Service on
page 132).
• For database or PO I issues, follow the
guidelines in the “Reporting Errors”
section (see page 132).
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 allo w more efficient
troubleshooting.
Some issues may at first seem random,
but you may notice a pattern, like they
only occur when you enter a specific
address, when driving on a certain road,
or just when it’s cold. This information
is very useful to th e service consultant.
Be patient, the serv ice consultant may
be unfamiliar with your specific issue.
Obtaining a Navigation
Update DVD
Acura 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, you will
need your vehicle’ s VIN number and
the System/Device Information from the
INFO screen ( Other). Call the Acura
Navigation Disc Fulfillment Center at
(888) 549-3798, or order online by
going to www.acuranavi.com.
NOTE:
Update DVDs are not available at your dealer. However, the dealer may
order an update DVD for you out of
courtesy. There is no program for
free DVD updates.
The update DVD order line staff cannot answer technical questions
regarding navigation operation,
coverage, or POIs.

Coverage Areas
Map Coverage
The system provides map coverage for
the United States, as well as for Canada
and Puerto Rico. The map coverage
consists of accurately mapped (verified)
metropolitan areas (in the following list)
and a less accurate (unverified) rural
database. 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 page 106.
If you desire additional map coverage
information, contact Acura Client
Services or go to www.acuranavi.com.
Enter your vehicle model and model
year, and then select the state for which
you want to verify map coverage.
