Viewing/Saving the Current
Location
Whenever you are on a map screen, you
can always obtain your current location
either by pushing in on the Interface
Dial , selecting Show Icon on Map ,
and selecting Current Location , or by
using the voice control system and
saying “Display current location.” A
screen pops up which shows the address
of your current location, as well as the
latitude, longitude, and elevation. NOTE:
The elevation will not appear when the
system is temporarily lacking proper
GPS information. The system elevation
may not agree with elevations shown on
roadside elevation signs, and may
fluctuate plus or minus 100 feet or more.
You can store the current location for
later use. It does not change or cancel
your current route.
For example, you
are following the
system’s directions to get to a
destination. While sitting at a stoplight
you notice a curio shop on the corner,
but do not have time to visit it right now.
You can save the location to select as a
destination at a later date. To save the location, say “Save current
location” or select
Save on the Current
location screen. The Edit address
book screen with the current location
data will appear. You can edit the name,
phone number, or category name to be
saved in your personal Address Book.
After the location is saved, select
Return to return to the map screen.
You can then use Address Book from
the MENU screen ( Enter destination
by ) to select the saved location, and
return to the same spot.

Unverified Area Routing
Allows you to receive turn-by-turn map and voice guidance in unverified areas when on route to a destination (see Map Overview
on page6). The chart below illustrates th e routing differences with this setting ON or OFF .
Unverified Area Routing: OFF (factory default) Unverified Area Routing: ON
Decision:
Why choose
ON or OFF ?
The driver wishes to navigate manually by using the
navigation map and choosing th e streets that lead to the
destination. The driver un derstands that unverified
roads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in
location, naming, and address range. The driver chooses to let th
e navigation system suggest
possible routing. The driver understands that in some
cases guidance may not be appropriate. Unverified
roads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in
location, naming, and address range.
What you will
see...A blue dotted vector line is displayed on the map that
continually points to your destination. The driver
should stop and then use the map to select streets that
lead to the destination. A blue-pink dashed route line highlights suggested
unverified streets on the ma
p while traveling to your
destination. This is in sharp contrast to the normal blue
route line displayed in verified areas.
Cautionary
messagesThere are cautionary pop-up screens and voice
announcements, before and during the route. These
serve as reminders that you should obey all traffic
restrictions. There are cautionary pop-
up screens and voice
announcements, before and during the route. These
serve as reminders that you should exercise additional
caution, and obey all traffic restrictions.
Guidance
(map/voice)There is no turn-by-turn map or voice guidan ce. Voice guidance commands end with the words “If
possible.” This is to remind the driver to verify all
traffic restrictions before making a maneuver.
Directions listA direction list is typically not available. However,
depending on your route, directions are provided to
help you reach the first available verified road. A direction list is provided showing street names and
turn symbols in pink.

Unverified Area Routing
When driving to your destination, you
have the choice of using or not using
“unverified” roads. You make this
choice in the SETUP screen. The next
few pages contain an example of a route
to a destination in an unverified area
explaining the routing differences found
in unverified areas.
With Unverified Area Routing OFF ,
the system tries to use verified roads
whenever possible. In this example,
since only verified streets are used, it
created a longer rout e than necessary.
With Unverified Area Routing ON ,
the route is shorter, but consists of
unverified (light co lored) streets that
may not be accurate. Because the streets
are unverified, there may be errors in
street location, name, or address range.
Additional caution is recommended in
these areas. Always obey posted traffic
restrictions. Because both routes bypass or use
unverified streets, an initial
Disclaimer
screen is provided. It is recommended
that you stop and review the map.
Unverified Area Routing “OFF” Unverified Area
Routing “ON”
NOTE:
Unverified roads are shown only when
viewing the map in the 1/20, 1/8, and
1/4 mile map scales, or the 80, 200, and
400 meter map scales.

Edit Avoid Area
This function allows you to select areas
you wish to avoid when calculating a
route to your destination. You can select
up to five areas to avoid. You may wish
to set up an “avoid area” to route around
long term road construction, closures, or
any area you wish to avoid. If you enter
a route that takes you through or into an
“avoid area,” a pop-up box will warn
you that your route takes you into one of
these areas. However, you can still
choose destinations in an avoided area.
When you select Edit Avoid Area , the
following list screen is displayed. You can select
NEW AREA, or select
one of your existing areas to modify. If
you choose NEW AREA , the following
screen is displayed:
Say or select Edit Name, and use the
Interface Dial to enter the name on the
Enter avoid area name screen (19
characters max). Say or select DONE to
return to the previous screen. Say or select
Edit Area, to create the
area to be avoided. The following screen
appears.
Either select Address or Map Input
on the Enter avoid area by screen.
Each choice provides a slightly different
way to locate the approximate map
display for drawing the area you wish to
avoid.

System Set-up
NOTE:
 You can select areas to avoid, however you cannot select roads or
areas that you want the system to use
for routing.
 If you are drawing a box around a road as an area to avoid, ensure the
following: When you draw the box,
make sure that the road or portion of
a road that you encircled includes an
intersection. For instance, in the
example below, highway 213 will be
avoided, but Van Ness will not be
avoided because it lacks an
intersection in the enclosed box.Edit Waypoint Search Area
When driving on route to your
destination, you can select a temporary
destination “waypoint” (marked with a
small flag on the map) along your route
for gas, a restaurant, or other POI. When
you resume your trip from the
“waypoint,” the syst em continues the
trip to your original destination. To use
this feature, see Search Waypoint on
page65.
This SETUP item allo ws you to select
the distance from your highlighted route
line (on either side of your route), that
the system will search for a “waypoint.”
From the Routing & Guidance screen,
select Edit Waypoint Search Area ,
and then choose the desired search
distance for either “On Freeways” or
“On Surface Street.” The diagram below shows how the
system handles the search for “Places
Along the Route” or “Places Around the
Destination” (see
Search Waypoint on
page65).
2008 Accord

Navigation System93
System Set-up
For “Places along the route,” the system
looks in front of yo u within a corridor
width specified by your values for “On
Freeways” or “On Surface Street.” The
system checks the upcoming area, based
on your input.
For “Places around the destination,” the
system searches outwards in a spiral
from the destination. In this case,
specific search values are not needed;
the matches are displayed in order of
distance from destination.
NOTE:
These settings do not affect the search
range used for the voice commands like,
“Find nearest gas station,” that are
also available wh en viewing the map
screen.Guidance Mode
