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. Alwa ys 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, yo u 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 database may contain
inaccurate or incomplete data or
information due to th
e passage of time,
road construction, changing conditions,
or other causes.
Due to ongoing software and database
improvements, navigation software and
mapping 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 software and
mapping versions. For update ordering
information, see page 133. 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 limits00 ACURA MDX_KA.book 130 ページ ２０１１年７月２７日　水曜日　午前１１時６分

Client AssistanceReporting ErrorsOccasionally, 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 page 6).
 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. Updates are
available for purchase, usually in the
fall of each year. See Obtaining a
Navigation Update 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.

Client 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 159)
 The Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs) section (see page 151)
 The FAQs found on the online update
order site (see “Obtaining a Navigation Update”)
 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 Relations (see
Acura Client Relations
on page 132).
 For database or POI 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 allow 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 the service consultant. Be patient, the serv
ice consultant may
be unfamiliar with yo
ur specific issue.
Obtaining a Navigation UpdateAcura 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 update, you will need your vehicle’s VIN number and the System/Device Information from theINFO
screen (
Other
). Call the Acura
Navigation Center at (888) 549-3798, or order online by going to www.acuranavi.com
.
NOTE:  Updates are not available at your
dealer. However, the dealer may order an update for you out of courtesy. There is no program for free updates.
 The update order line staff cannot
answer technical questions regarding navigation operation, coverage, or POIs.

Coverage AreasMap CoverageThe 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 page 6
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
Relations 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.
