Introduction
The navigation system applies location,
direction, and speed information to the
maps and calculates a route to the
destination you enter. As you drive to
that destination, the system provides
map and voice guidance.
The navigation system is easy to use.
The locations of many places of
business and entertainment are already
entered in the system. You can select
any of them as a des tination by using the
Interface Dial or voice control.
There are several ways to enter a
destination, such as by point of interest
(POI), by address, by phone number,
and by selecting it from the map. The
last 50 destinations are saved for reuse
at a later date. The system also allows
you to store a home address to simplify
returning home from your destination.
Accessories PrecautionsIf you have rear window tinting
installed, be aware that if the tint has
metallic properties, it can seriously
degrade or prevent GPS reception. This
is because the GPS antenna is located on
the passenger's side of the rear shelf.
If you plan to install electronic
components, such as radar detectors,
vehicle tracking devices, remote
starters, additional amplifiers, or other
audio components, ensure that they are
not located near the navigation control
unit in the trunk, near the navigation
display in the dash, or near the GPS
antenna on the passenger's side of the
rear shelf. Signal noise emanating from
these devices can cause intermittent
disruption of the navigation system.
Important Safety InformationThe navigation system can distract your
attention from the road if you focus on
the screen or operate the system’s
controls while driving.
Enter as much information as possible
into the system before you begin
driving, or when the vehicle is stopped.
Then, as you drive, listen to the audio
instructions and use voice commands
when possible.

Navigation System
Accord 2D4D_KA 31TA5840
Getting StartedUsing the Voice Control SystemYou should use the voice control system
as much as possible, and consider
manual entry using the Interface Dial
as a backup method of entry.
Most of the system’s functions can be
controlled by voice commands activated
with the NAVI TALK button. To
control the navigation system by voice:
Press and release the NAVI TALK
button.
Wait for the beep (the icon is displayed on the top left of the
screen).
Give a voice command.
Once the microphone picks up your
command, the system changes the
display in response to the command and
prompts you for the next command.
Using the NAVI TALK button, answer
the prompts as required. If the system does not understand a
command or you wait too long to give a
command, it responds with “Pardon,”
“Please repeat,” or “Would you say
again.” If the system cannot perform a
command or the command is not
appropriate for the screen you are on, it
sounds a beep.
Anytime you are unsure of what voice
commands are available on a screen,
you can always say “Help.” The system
will then read the list of available
commands to you.
When you give a command, the system
generally either repeats the command as
a confirmation or asks you for further
information. If you do not wish to hear
this feedback, you can turn it off.
However, hearing the feedback will
familiarize you with the way the system
expects commands to be phrased. See
the
Voice Recognition Feedback
setting in SETUP. If you hear a prompt such as “Please use
the Interface Dial to...” or “Please
choose an area with the Interface Dial,”
the system is asking for input that
cannot be performed using the voice
control system.
Improving Voice RecognitionTo achieve optimum voice recognition
when using either the navigation or
Bluetooth
® HandsFreeLink® voice
control system, the fo llowing guidelines
should be followed:
NOTE:
Make sure the correct screen is
displayed for the voice command that
you are using. See Voice Command
Index on page 140.
It is best if the windows and sunroof are closed. If you drive with the
windows or sunroof open, speak a
little louder to overcome the wind
noises.
Adjust the dashboard and side vents so air does not blow against the
microphone on the ceiling.

Voice Guidance PromptsAs you get near the maneuver, you will
hear a voice reminder and see a pop-up
window showing you the maneuver.
The number of reminders that you will
hear before a maneuver is determined
by Guidance Prompts in SETUP on
page 78.
With the factory default (NORMAL),
typically you will hear two prompts:
The first is about 1/4 mile from the maneuver.
The final prompt is close to your actual turn.
If the distance between the next two
driving maneuvers is very small, both
maneuvers are displayed on the screen
in a single window, and the voice will
remind you of both of them at the same
time. NOTE:
You can say “Voice” at any time, or
select Voice after pushing on the
Interface Dial to be reminded of the
next maneuver. For information on
the available voice commands, see
Voice Command Index on page140.
Typically, a pop-up guidance window shows your next turn, and a voice
guidance prompt is heard. The timing
of these prompts varies, depending on
the type of road you are on, and the
distance to your next maneuver.
When given guidance in unverified
areas, the words “if possible” are
inserted before each guidance prompt.
See Unverified Area Routing on page87
for more details about unverified
routing.Driving to Your Destination00_Accord 2D4D_KA.book 50 ページ ２０１１年７月２１日 木曜日 午後１時５９分

System InitializationGPS InitializationDepending on the length of time the
battery was disconnected, your system
may require GPS initialization. If it
does, the following screen appears:
If this procedure is not necessary, the
system proceeds directly to the
Disclaimer screen (see page 17).
During initialization, the system
searches for all available GPS satellites
and obtains their orbital information.
During this procedure, the vehicle
should be out in the open with a clear
view of the sky. If the navigation system finds the
satellites properly, this box clears and
the
Disclaimer screen is shown. If
within 10 minutes th e system fails to
locate a sufficient number of satellites to
locate your position, the following
screen appears:
If the system is still unable to acquire a
signal, follow the instructions on the
screen, or contact your local dealer for
assistance.
NOTE:
The average acquiri ng time is less than
10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45
minutes.
Map MatchingThis part of the initialization matches
the GPS coordinates found above with a
road on the map screen. To perform this
part of the procedure, ensure that the
navigation system is displaying a map,
and drive the vehicle on a mapped road
(a road shown on the map screen). Do
not enter a destina tion at this time.
When the name of th e current road you
are driving on appears at the bottom of
the screen, the entire procedure is
complete. Your system is now ready to
use.
The navigation system lost power and is acquiring its
location from the GPS satellites. This usually takes
less than 10 minutes.
* Start the engine.
* Park the vehicle in an open area away from trees,
power lines, and tall buildings.
* Remove loose articles, cell phones, or electrical
accessories located near the GPS antenna.
* If this screen is displayed repeatedly when starting
the vehicle, see your dealer.
Something is interfering with the system’s ability to
acquire its location. Check the following:
* The vehicle must be in an open area with a clear
view of the sky.
* Remove sources of GPS interference like metallic
window tint above antenna, or electrical items
near antenna (see owner's manual for details).
* Check GPS antenna cable connection.
* Restart the engine and repeat the GPS acquire
procedure. If the problem persists, see your dealer.

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 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 several 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 IssuesThe signals received from the GPS
satellites are extremely weak (less than
a millionth of the strength of a local FM
station) and require an unobstructed
view of 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 on the passenger's
side of the rear shelf)
Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic devices docked in a cradle
or lying loose on the rear shelf
Radar detectors mounted on the rear shelf
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 route. Try changing the
method of routing. See Changing
Routing Method on page 47. You may
also have Unverified Area Routing set
to OFF. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 87.
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 additional caution when
driving in these unverified areas.

and Hawaii. These functions include but
are not limited to XM radio, automatic
clock updates, and time zone
adjustments.AlaskaIf 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

navigation system operation for vehicles
delivered in Hawaii.
XM RadioNavigation 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 CoverageAll 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 se
ction for a list of
islands with coverage (see page 112).
Freeway Exit information does not exist in Hawaii, so the “Freeway Exit
