Map Coverage
The system provides map coverage for
the following U.S. states, as well as
for Canada and Puerto Rico. The map
coverage consists of accurately mapped
(ve r i fi ed) metropolitan areas (in the
following list) and a less accurate
(unverifi ed) 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 verifi ed outside these areas. If
your route passes through these areas,
routing may be limited, depending on
your routing choices. See Unverifi ed
Area Routing on page 103 .
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
146 Navigation System
Traf c
Problem Solution
My Real-Time Traffi c is missing and is not displaying
properly. What is wrong? y Verify the following:
• Check the traffi
c icon on the icon bar, and the icon options for traffi c. Page
68 walks you through the verifi cation steps.
• Your XM NavTraffi c subscription may have expired. Call XM at (800)
852-9696 and verify your account status. If your subscription has lapsed,
you may need to request a “rapid refresh.” After XM refreshes your
account status, leave the vehicle running outside for 30 minutes to receive
the refresh. See pag e 121 for the status of your subscription.
• It is possible that there is a temporary technical problem with your metropolitan area traffi c. You can call Acura Client Services to see if there
is an outage (pag e 128 ).
• If the situation persists, see your Acura dealer for assistance.
• AcuraLink relies on a satellite signal. It will not work in Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto Rico.
When I am driving a route on the freeway and Traffi c
Rerouting is ON , sometimes the system provides a
detour route. Why is this? The system will provide a detour route to your destination only if it can fi
nd a
considerably faster route than the original one.
While traveling on my route on the freeway, the system
has me exit and take an alternate freeway with unknown
fl ow speeds or surface streets. Why is this? Based on freeway congestion along your route, the system predicted that
taking an alternate freeway or surface streets would be faster. Use your own
experience to determine whether the alternate route would be faster.
How can I ignore the detour route and return to the
original route? Tu r n Tr a f fi
c Rerouting to OFF in Setup, under Routing & Guidance (pag e 110 ).
