Navigation System5
Introduction
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 destination by using the
touch screen, joystick 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 Precautions
If you have front 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
under the dashboard.
If you plan to install electronic
components such as radar detectors,
vehicle location devices, remote
starters, additional amplifiers, or other
audio components ensure that they are
not located near the navigation control
unit under the dashboard, near the
navigation screen in the dash, or near
the GPS antenna under the dashboard.
Signal noise emanating from these
devices can cause intermittent
disruption of the navigation system.
Important Safety Information
The 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.

12Navigation System
Getting Started
Voice Control Basics
Your vehicle has a voice control system
that allows hands-free operation of most
of the navigation system functions. You
can also control the audio system. The
voice control system uses the NAVI
TALK and NAVI BACK buttons on
the steering wheel and a microphone
near the map light on the ceiling.
NOTE:
While using the voice control system, all
of the speakers are muted.
NAVI TALK button
This button activates the voice control
system. Press and release it when you
want to give a voice command. See
Voice Command Index on page131 for
a list of voice commands.
NAVI BACK button
This button has the same function as the
CANCEL button. When you press and
release it, the disp lay returns to the
previous screen. When the previous
screen appears, the system replays the
last prompt. This button is enabled for
the navigation system commands only.
However, it can be used to cancel an
audio voice command up to one second
after the command confirmation.

Navigation System13
Getting Started
Using the Voice Control System
You should use the voice control system
as much as possible, and consider
manual entry using the joystick as a
“back-up” method of entry.
Most of the system’s functions can be
controlled by voice commands activated
with the NAVI TALK button. To
control your navigation system by
voice:
 Press and release the NAVI TALK
button.
 Wait for the beep.
 Give a voice command.
Once the microphon e 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 not sure of what voice
commands are available on a screen,
you can always say “Help” at any
screen. The system can then read the list
of commands to you.
When you speak 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 touch screen to...” or “Please choose
an area with the joystick.” the system is
asking for input that cannot be
performed using the voice control
system.
Improving Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition,
the following guide
lines should be
followed:
NOTE:
Make sure the correct screen is
displayed for the vo ice command that
you are using. See Voice Command
Index on page131.
 Adjust the airflow from both the dashboard and side vents so they do
not blow against the microphone on
the ceiling. Place your hand over the
microphone; if you feel any airflow,
adjust the vents.
 Lower the A/C fan speed during voice recognition operation.
 Close the windows and the sunroof.

Navigation System21
When you press the MENU button, the
display changes to:
Address (see page22)
This selection requires you to enter the
city (and possibly the state), and the
address that you want to go to.
Intersection (see page26)
This selection allows you to enter the
names of two intersecting streets in a
city. This is useful if you know the
general location of your destination, but
not the exact address. Places (see page31)
The system has been programmed with
the locations of many businesses, parks,
hospitals, etc. This selection lets you
search these by category, name, or
phone number.
Map Input
(see page36)
This selection allows you to point to a
destination on th e map using the
joystick. This allows you to enter a
destination or address that may not be
listed in the database.
Previous Destinations (see page39)
When you enter a destination with any
of the available se lections (except
Address Book and Go Home ), the
last 50 destinations are saved by the
system. Use this selection to choose a
destination again.
NOTE:
If Previous Destinations is darker in
color, there is no Previous Destination
entered. Today’s Destinations
(see page40)
You can enter and sort up to five
destinations and store them in the
Today’s Destination list. You can then
use the Today’s Destinations selection.
NOTE:
If Today’s Destinations is darker in
color, there is no Today’s Destination
entered.
Address Book (see page42)
This selection allows you to select a
stored address. The system can store up
to a combined total of 200 User 1 and
User 2 addresses.
Go Home (see page43)
This selection allows you to select your
home or a common place as a
destination.
NOTE:
If you have no home address entered,
the system prompts you for one.

Navigation System31
By Places
After you select Places from the Enter
destination by screen, the display
changes to:
There are three ways to find a place or
point of interest (POI), by Category,
Name , or Phone Number .
Let’s assume you want to find a coffee
shop (restaurant) called “Bucks.”
 If you know the phone number of the coffee shop, select Phone Number,
then enter the 10-d igit number with
area code. This is the quickest way to
find it.  The second best me
thod is to select
Category , then Restaurant , and
enter the keyword “Bucks.” The list
will include all restaurants that have
the letters “bucks” anywhere in the
name.
 You can try to enter “Bucks” using Name, but you may have to search
through a list that might include
Bucks Welding, Bucks Surplus, etc.
NOTE:
 Prior to departure, you can set areas to avoid. The system then includes
them in its calculations for the
destination you have entered. See
Edit Avoid Area on page85.
 You can enter the desired destination using the voice control system. For
information on the available voice
commands, see Voice Command
Index on page131.
Finding the Place by Category
The Category option gives you a list of
categories or types of businesses to
select from with the following screen:
Tip:
If you are not sure of the spelling of a
place, the best way to find it is to use the
keyword search. Select Category,
choose a category and subcategory
from the menus, then select Place
Name by Keyword , and enter the
partial name.
Entering a Destination
2008 CR- V

Navigation System35
City Vicinity
The system allows you to find points of
interest in the vicinity of the city you
entered. When you select this option,
the display changes to Enter city name
screen. Enter the name of the city using
the on-screen keyboard. If the system
does not find an exact match, select List
when you finish entering the name of
the city. Select a desired city from the
list.
Once you have selected the city, the
display changes to Enter a place name
screen. Enter the name of the place
using the on-screen keyboard.
Once you select a place, the system then
displays the Calculate route to screen
(see Driving to Your Destination on
page44).
Place Name
When you select this option, the display
changes to Enter a place name screen.
Enter your selection, using the on-
screen keyboard.
Once you select a place, the system then
displays the Calculate route to screen
(see Driving to Your Destination on
page44).
Finding the Place by Name
The Name option allows you to enter
the name of a business, and then shows
you a list of businesses with the same or
similar names to select from. Use the
name option only if you know the exact
spelling of the place. If unsure, use the
Category option.
Finding the Place by Phone
Number
The Phone Number option allows
you to select a destination by its
telephone number. Only telephone
numbers stored in th e system under the
Places (of business) option are
recognized. The system does not contain
residential telephone numbers, or
numbers you may have entered in your
personal Address Book.
Tip:
If you know the phone number of a point
of interest (POI), its uniqueness makes it
the fastest entry method. When using the
voice control system, the entry should be
spoken as a continuous string of
numbers. For example, the telephone
number (310) 555-4000 should be
spoken as “Three, one, zero, five, five,
five, four, zero, zero, zero.”

Viewing/Saving the Current
Location
Whenever you are on a map screen, you
can always obtain your current location
either by touching the Vehicle Position
icon 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 screen.
When you select “User 1” or “User 2,”
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
Address Book.
After the location is saved, select
Return to return to the map screen.
You can then use Address Book from
the Enter destination by screen to
select the saved location, and return to
the same spot.
