System Limitations
Although 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 Gl obal Positioning System (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 se veral hundred feet.
For example, in urban areas where streets are close together, this could cause the system to show that you are traveling 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 Issues
The signals received from the GPS satellites are extremely weak (less than a millionth of the strength of a local FM station) and requir e an unobstructed view of the 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, freeway 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 rout e. 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 addition al caution when driving in these unverified areas.

Customer Assistance
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 133).
• The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section (see page 123).
• The FAQs found on the online DVD order site (see “Obtaining a DVD”).
• For detailed questions regarding audio or other systems that interact with the navigation system, see your Owner’s Manual or the Technology Reference Guide.
• Call Honda Customer Relations (see “Honda Automobile Customer Service” on page 102).
• For database or PO I 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 advisor. This way, the service advisor 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 is cold. This information is very useful to the service advisor. Be patient, the service advisor may be unfamiliar with your specific issue.
Obtaining a Navigation
Update DVD
Honda 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 or a replacement DVD, call the Honda Navigation Disc Fulfillment Center at (888) 291-4675. You can also order online by going to www.hondanavi.com.
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.

PC Card Operation
A 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 Card
Ensure that the PCMCIA PC card adaptor contains th e 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, ther e 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
Functions
The 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 page 142.
CD/CD-R Operation
A 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
My battery was disconnected or went dead, and the navigation system is asking for a code. Where do I find this code?
There should be a card in the glove box with the anti-theft code for the navigation/audio syst em. This card contains the 4-digit security code and serial number. If you cannot find it , your dealer can help you out.
I speak a language other than English. When will other languages be available fo r the navigation system? This is being considered as a future enhancement.
