Destination Icon
The destination icon only shows the
approximate location of the destination.
This occurs because a city block can
have as many as 100 possible addresses
(for example, the 1400 block is followed
by the 1500 block). Most cities use only
a portion of the 100 possible addresses
(for example, in the 1400 block, the
addresses may only go up to 1425
before the 1500 block starts). Therefore,
the address 1425 will be shown a
quarter of the way down the block by
the system instead of near the end of the
block where the destination is actually
located.
Tip:
When en route, you can view a map
showing your destination. Using voice
control, say “Display destination map.”
Landmark Icons
Landmark icons are shown in the map
screen on the 1/20 and 1/8 mile scales or
80 and 200 meter scales. The Freeway
Exit information is displayed on the 1/4,
1/2, and 1 mile scales. The icons are:
Some icons can be turned on or off;
you can either display them or hide
them by pushing in on the Interface
Dial on the map or guidance screen
and select Show Icon on Map (see
page60), or by using voice commands
(see page138). You can select most landmark icons
with the
Interface Dial to display the
icon’s information. See the table on the
following page for exceptions.
NOTE:
 The same icon list can be viewed on the screen by selecting Map Legend
from the Information screen.
 When there are overlapping landmark icons, a list of the points of
interest (POIs) is displayed.
 For information on the available voice commands, see Voice
Command Index on page138.
One-Way Traffic Icon
The one-way traffic icons (see Map
Screen Legend on page50) are only
shown on the 1/20 mile scale and only
when turned on in ICON OPTIONS
(see page60).

System Setup
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 when viewing the map screen.Guidance Mode
Allows you to select the guidance
display mode: Single Screen or Split
Screen .
To get to Guidance Mode from the
SETUP screen, select in sequence,
“Other” tab, “Routing & Guidance,”
and “Guidance Mode.”
The factory default is Single Screen.
NOTE:
The Guidance Mode can also be
selected on the Icon Selection screen.
See Showing Icons on the Map on
page60.
Clock Adjustment
From the SETUP screen ( Other), say
or select Clock Adjustment and the
following screen appears:
This screen allows y ou to set or adjust
the following:
 Auto Daylight (Default = ON)
 Auto Time Zone (Default = ON)
 DST (Daylight Saving Time) Selection (change DST schedule)
 Time Adjustment (adjust your clock)
 RESET (resets this screen’s settings to factory defaults)

Navigation System95
System Setup
Auto Daylight
Sets automatic daylight saving time ON
or OFF . If set to ON, the clock will
automatically “spring ahead” or “fall
back” by one hour when a daylight
saving time change occurs. If you reside
in a state or area where daylight saving
time is not used, then you may want to
turn this feature off.
NOTE:
If you set Auto Daylight to ON, the
daylight saving time function is
activated even in an area that does not
use daylight saving time.
The federal government mandated that
starting in 2007, daylight saving time
begins in March and ends in November
instead of the old schedule from April to
October. The new schedule is subject to
review and possible cancellation in
2008-2009. The schedules for the time changes are
stored in the software and can be
selected in the
DST schedule
selection screen. Therefore, your clock
will change based on the daylight saving
time schedule.
NOTE:
The automatic clock setting feature
relies on a satellite signal. It will not
work correctly in Hawaii and Alaska.
Auto Time Zone
Sets automatic time zone selection by
GPS to ON or OFF . If you are driving
across the country and passing through
time zones, then this feature will
automatically set the time to the time
zone you are traveling through.
However, if you live and work in two
different time zones, you may want to
turn this feature off.
NOTE:
When driving near a time zone
boundary, the displa yed time zone may
fluctuate between the two zone times.
2009 Accord

Navigation System97
System Setup
After you have traveled approximately
1/2 mile away from a mapped road, the
system will display a series of white
dots on the map screen to show the path
you have traveled. This is provided so
you can follow the dots to backtrack to
the mapped road you originally left.
Tracking continues until you reach a
mapped road. See Off-road Tracking on
page62.
Tracking is shown only in the 1/20, 1/8,
1/4, and 1/2 mile, or the 80, 200, 400,
and 800 meter scales. Rotate the
Interface Dial knob to change the
scales if necessary.
NOTE:
To clear existing dots, turn this feature
off and exit SETUP. To re-enable this
feature, return to SETUP and turn it on
again.Correct Vehicle Position
The system relies on satellites for
positioning information. Buildings,
tunnels, and other objects can block or
reflect these signals, requiring the
system to use “dead reckoning” to
determine your location and direction.
This can sometimes lead to small errors
in positioning, such as showing you on
an adjacent street.
NOTE:
Using this function to adjust vehicle
position is not recommended. When the
system acquires a GPS signal, it will
automatically place the vehicle in the
correct location.
If you choose to do this, follow these
steps:
1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Select
Correct Vehicle Position ,
and the system will display a map
adjustment screen.
3. Use the Interface Dial to move the
vehicle position arrowhead to the
correct location, and push in on the
Interface Dial . The display will
change to:

System Setup
System Information
From the SETUP screen ( Other), say
or select System Information and the
following screen appears:
This information is for dealer use only.
For ordering updates, use the version
number stamped on the label (as Ver.
X.XX) of the navigation DVD. See
Obtaining a Navigation Update DVD on
page109.
When finished, say or select Return to
return to the previous screen.
Rearview Camera
(if equipped)
Whenever you shift to R (Reverse) with
the ignition switch in the ON (II)
position, the rear view is shown on the
navigation screen. For the best image,
always keep the rearview camera lens
clean, and be sure it is not covered.
Since the rearview camera display area
is limited, you should always back up
slowly and carefully, and look behind
you for obstacles.
NOTE:
Only the sedan model has the rearview
camera option.
Rearview Camera Brightness
Adjustment
When the vehicle is in reverse, the
navigation “hard” buttons are locked
out, except the rotating portion of the
Interface Dial (knob ). Rotate the
knob clockwise to make the camera
image brighter, and co unterclockwise to
darken the image. This brightness
adjustment is indepe ndent of the screen
brightness adjustment in SETUP.
NOTE:
 The camera brightness cannot be adjusted by voice control.
 Slight delays can occur when switching to the ca mera image, or
switching back to the map/menu
screen. This is normal.

Navigation System105
System Limitations
The destination icon shows the
approximate location of the destination.
This occurs because a city block can
have as many as 100 possible addresses
(for example, the 1400 block is followed
by the 1500 block). Since most cities
use only a portion of the 100 possible
addresses (for example, in the 1400
block, the addresses may only go up to
1425 before the 1500 block starts), the
address 1425 will be shown a quarter of
the way down the block by the system
instead of at the end of the block where
the destination is actually located.
You may find that the system
occasionally reboots. This is indicated
by the display returning to the globe
screen. A reboot can be caused by a
number of things, such as extreme
temperatures or shock from bumpy
roads. It does not necessarily indicate a
problem that requires service. If this
happens frequently, please see your
dealer.

124Navigation System
Operation in Alaska and
Hawaii
Certain functions that rely on a satellite
signal will not work correctly in Alaska
and Hawaii. These functions include but
are not limited to XM radio, automatic
clock updates, and time zone
adjustments.
Alaska
If the vehicle was purchased in the
lower 48 states and driven to Alaska, the
system cannot display maps. The
message “Vehicle is out of the
database...” will be displayed.
Hawaii
This section describes the differences in
navigation system operation for vehicles
delivered in Hawaii.
XM Radio
Navigation-equipped vehicles delivered
to Hawaii are equipped with XM
hardware, but XM broadcasting is not
available; therefore sections of the
manual that mention XM audio do not
apply. Vehicles originally delivered to
the U.S. mainland and shipped to Hawaii
also have XM, but will not function
because the XM satellites (aimed toward
the U.S. mainland) are too far away to
obtain reception.
Map Coverage
All roads displayed on the Hawaii map
screens are detailed coverage roads.
Text related to “unverified” roads or
areas are not applicable. The following
topics do not apply in Hawaii:
 Unverified road descriptions (see page
6, 87).
 Cautions and pop-up windows related to unverified roads (see page
64).
 Setup entries that relate to turning on
or off unverified routing (see
page
88 ).
 When zooming in and out, there is no 350-mile scale for Hawaii. Other Map Issues
 See the coverage section for a list of
islands with coverage (see page 111).
 Freeway Exit information does not
exist in Hawaii, so the “Freeway Exit
Info” icon is not shown on the icon
bar.
