ProblemSolution
My FM Traffic is missing or is not displaying properly.
What is wrong?Verify the following:
• FM Traffic relies on a clear FM signal. If signal strength is low, traffic data may not be available.
• Check the traffic icon on the icon bar, and the icon options for traffic.
2 Showing Icons on the Map P. 92
• It is possible that there is a temporary technical problem with your metropolitan area traffic. You can call Honda Automobile Customer Service to see if there is an
outrage.
2 Honda Automobile Customer Service Contact Information P. 184
• If the situation persists, see your Honda dealer for assistance.
ProblemSolution
The navigation system does not route me the same
way I would go or the same way as other mapping
systems.The navigation system attempts to generate the optimal route. You can change the
route preferences used when calculating a route.
2 Changing the Route Preference P. 78
The street I’m on is not shown on the map screen.The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. You can access the most
recent information on the internet.
2Map Coverage P. 185
The vehicle position icon is not following the road and
the “GPS icon” text in the upper left hand corner of
the screen is white or missing.• Check that the GPS antenna (located in the dashboard) is not blocked. For best
reception, remove items from the dashboard, such as radar detectors, cell phones,
or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devi ces can interfere with the GPS reception.
Please consult your dealer.

TroubleshootingGuidance, Routing
Troubleshooting
The blue highlighted route and voice guidance
stopped or turned into a blue/pink dashed line before I
got to my destination.Your route has entered an unverified area. 2Unverified Area Routing P. 41
How do I stop the map from rotating as I drive along?Select the map orientation icon on the map screen, or say d “Display north-up” to
change the map orientation.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orientations.The Heading-up map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales (1/20 - 1 mile
scales).
2 Map Scale and Functions P. 95
The “time to destination” display sometimes increases
even though I am getting closer to my destination.If your speed reduces due to slower traffic, the navigation system updates the “time to
destination” based on your actual road speed to give you a better estimate of arrival
time.
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short
distance behind, especially when I arrive at an
intersection.This is normal. The navigation system is unaware of the width of intersections. Large
differences in vehicle position can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal.
2 GPS System P. 182
The screen is showing white dots as I drive along.These dots are called “breadcrumbs.” These are displayed if Off-road Tracking is set
to On and you drive more than 1/2 mile off mapped roads.
2Off-road Tracking P. 50
How do I remove the white dots (“breadcrumbs”)
from my screen?Press the INFO button. Select Setup > Other > Vehicle , and set Off-road Tracking
to Off , then return to the map.
2Off-road Tracking P. 50
A road that I selected to avoid is being used when
routing.When you “draw” your area to avoid, make sure to select sections of roads that
include at least one intersection.
2Avoiding Streets P. 102
My elevation (shown when I display the current
position) seems to fluctuate even though my elevation
has not changed.This is normal. The elevation can vary ±100 feet due to GPS calculation errors. 2GPS System P. 182

My elevation is missing on the “current position”
screen.The elevation is only displayed if the GPS antenna can receive signals from at least four
satellites. Try moving the vehicle into an open area. The elevation is also not displayed
if the calculated elevation is zero or below sea level.
ProblemSolution
My city is not part of a fully verified detailed coverage
area.The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. You can access the most
recent information on the internet.
2Map Coverage P. 185
Does the navigation system work outside North
America?The navigation system contains maps for the 50 U.S. states, Canada, and Puerto Rico.
The navigation system will not work in Mexico or other countries.
2Map Coverage P. 185
Can I play video DVDs in my navigation system?No. The navigation system is designed only to read music discs. If you experience any
problems that you cannot resolve, please contact your dealer.
How do I report errors I find in the database?Minor errors are bound to occur in a large database. If you encounter major errors, see 2Reporting Errors P. 184
ProblemSolution
The display appears dim when starting the car in really
cold weather.This is normal. The display will become brighter after a few minutes.
