Navigation System5
2NX_Accord Crosstour  31TP6800
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 
under the dashboard.
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 right side floor storage 
compartment of the cargo area, near the 
navigation display 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 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.

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 2NX_Accord Crosstour_KA.book  50 ページ  2011年6月23日 木曜日 午後5時2分

Navigation System
2NX_Accord Crosstour  31TP6800
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 under the 
dashboard)
 Cell phones, PDAs, or other  electronic devices docked in a cradle 
or lying loose near the dashboard
 Radar detectors mounted near the  dashboard
 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 page6.
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.

Coverage AreasOperation in Alaska and 
HawaiiCertain 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.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 
database...” will be displayed.HawaiiThis section describes the differences in 
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 
Info” icon is not shown on the icon 
bar.
