Introduction
Verified streets (dark colored) Unverified streets (light colored)
When
displayed These roads are found within
metropolitan areas, and
include interstate freeways and major roads
connecting cities. These roads are found in rural
areas, and typically include
residential street s away from the center of a town.
Street color Shown on daytime
map screen as black or red, such as
interstate freeways. Shown on the daytime
map screen as light brown.
Map Quality The database vendor has
verified these streets.
Information like tu rn restrictions, average speed, and
whether it is a one way street have been gathered and
used when creating your route to a destination. These streets have not been veri
fied by the database vendor. The
system does not contain inform ation on one-way streets, turn
restrictions, or the road’s average speed. They are shown on the
map for reference and can have e rrors in map location, naming,
and address range.
Routing
differences While driving to your destin
ation, the displayed route
line is solid blue. The system provides voice and map
guidance to your destination. Your route line is either a blue
dotted “vector line,” or a dashed
pink/blue line. For information on selecting this option, and the
routing differences, see Unverified Area Routing on page
81.
Cautions There are no pop-up boxes urging extra caution during
a route. However, because
roads constantly change,
you are urged to use common sense, and always obey
posted traffic restrictions. Regardless of whether the user c
hooses route guidance, there are
cautionary screens before and dur ing the route urging the user to
be extra cautious, and obey all traffic restrictions (see Unverified
Area Routing on page81).
Guidance
voice Voice guidance issues maneuvers such as “In a half
mile make a right turn.” The suffix “if possible” is adde
d to each guidance maneuver. For
example: “In a half mile make a right turn, if possible.”
Time and
distance
“to go” The time and distance “t
o go,” displayed while on
route to a destination, is based on the average speed
and distance for the roads used for your route. Because the average speed of thes
e roads is not known, the time
and distance “to go” is based on a fixed average speed of 25 mph
for these roads.

Viewing the Routes
Touching View Routes allows you to
scroll through and view the various
routes (Direct, Easy, Maximize
Freeways, etc.) to your destination. If
you select View Routes , the display
changes to:
You can change the method for
calculating the route by using the voice
control system and saying “Next” or
“Previous” or by touching Next or
Prev . The system will display another
calculated route. NOTE:
 The selected route method and
pertinent details are shown at the top
of the screen.
 It may take several minutes (the system displays an hour glass while it
is calculating) to show all route
methods, and it is not unusual for the
different methods to pick the same
route. Voice commands cannot be
used while the system is calculating.
 If the trip is greater than 100 miles, then “Minimize Freeways” and
“Minimize Toll Roads” may be
grayed out. This is normal.
 Zoom IN/OUT to view route details is not available on this screen. After you
choose a “route method,” you can
then zoom in or out on the map
screen to view your route in details. Say or select
Summary to display the
distance and time to go for each route.
Based on the summary data, you can
change the routing by using the Next
and Prev . buttons.
Once you confirm your selection, say
“OK” or select OK on the screen.
NOTE:
Distances and times show for each
method in the Summary are
approximate.
After calculating the route with the new
method, the system displays a map of
your current locatio n. The calculated
route will be highlighted as a blue line,
and a voice prompt will tell you how to
proceed along the highlighted route.
Touch VOICE to have the guidance
repeated.

For instance, let’s assume that your
hospital is not displa yed on the map, and
you want to make sure that your settings
are correct. You would do the
following:
 First you would ensure that the OTHER ICON button on the Icon
bar is blue (See Icon Bar above).
 Second, you select Icon Options
and verify that hospital option is also
on (blue). This procedure is explained
below.
If you select Other Icons from the
Select category for icon settings
screen, the other icons options are
displayed: In the example above,
POST OFFICE
and SCHOOL are selected and will
show up on the map. To also see
HOSPITAL on the map, this would
need to be turned on to select it so it
appears as below.
Exit, and save your settings by selecting
Done . NOTE:
 When viewing the
map screen, you
can turn some icons on using voice
control.
 See Voice Command Index on
page132 for the available “Display”
and “Hide” icon command.

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 the rou ting 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 navi
gate manually by using the
navigation map and choosing the streets that lead to
the destination. The dr iver understands that
unverified roads may not be accurate, and can contain
errors in location, na ming, and address range. The driver chooses to let the na
vigation system suggest possible
routing. The driver understands th at in some cases guidance may
not be appropria te. Unverified roads ma y not be accurate, and
can contain errors in locati on, 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 ma p to select streets that
lead to the destination. A blue-pink dashed route line
highlights suggested unverified
streets on the map while traveling to your destination. This is in
sharp contrast to the normal blue route line displayed in verified
areas.
Cautionary
messages There 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 sc
reens and voice announcements,
before and during the route. These serve as reminders that you
should exercise additional ca ution, and obey all traffic
restrictions.
Guidance
(map/voice) There is no turn-by-turn map or voice guidance. Voi
ce guidance commands end with the words “If possible.”
This is to remind the driver to verify all traffic restrictions
before making a maneuver.
Directions
list A direction list is typicall
y not available. However,
depending on your route, dire ctions are provided to
help you reach the first available verified road. A direction list is provided s
howing street names and turn
symbols in pink.
System Set-up
2008 Civic

Navigation System83
With Unverified Area Routing Off ,
the driver chose to take a shortcut, and
avoid the long route. The moment you
enter an unverified street, a caution box
appears on the screen, and is read by the
voice. This lets you know that you are
about to enter an unverified area and
that you will be following a dotted
“vector line” that points to your
destination.
With Unverified Area Routing On ,
a caution box appear s on the screen and
is read by the voice. In this case you will
be presented with a dashed blue/pink
line instead of the regular blue route
line. You cannot assume that all
guidance is appropriate. This is your
signal to pay attention to posted traffic
restrictions.
In both cases, when you actually enter
the unverified street, a short caution will
remind you. You will see and hear this
short caution message whenever you
enter unverified areas. Unverified Area Routing “Off” Unverified Area Routing “On”
