Unverified Area Routing
Allows you to receive turn-by-turn map and voice guidance in unverified areas when en route to a destination (see Map Overview on page 6). 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 driver understands that unverified roads may not be a ccurate, and can contain errors in location, naming, and address range.
The driver chooses to let the na vigation system suggest possible routing. The driver understands that in some cases, guidance may not be appropriate. Unverified ro ads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in location, 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. Voice gui dance 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 typically 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.

Unverified Area Routing
When driving to your destination, you have the choice of using or not using “unverified” roads. You make this choice in Setup screen (second). The next few pages contain an example of a route to a destinatio n in an unverified area explaining the routing differences found in unverified areas.
With Unverified Area Routing Off, the system tries to use verified roads whenever possible. In this example, since only verified streets are used, it created a longer rout e than necessary.
With Unverified Area Routing On, the route is shorter, but consists of unverified (light co lored) streets that may not be accurate. Because the streets are unverified, there may be errors in street location, name, or address range. Additional caution is recommended in these areas. Always obey posted traffic restrictions.
Because both routes bypass or use unverified streets, an initial Disclaimer screen is provided. It is recommended that you stop and review the map.
Unverified Area Routing “Off”
Unverified Area Routing “On”
NOTE:
Unverified roads are shown only when viewing the map in the 1/20, 1/8, and 1/4 mile map scales, or the 80, 200, and 400 meter map scales.

Edit Avoid Area
This function allows you to select areas you wish to avoid when calculating a route to your destination. You can select up to five areas to avoid. You may wish to set up an “avoid area” to route around long-term road construction, closures, or any area you wish to avoid. If you enter a route that takes you through or into an “avoid area,” a pop-up box will warn you that your route takes you into one of these areas. However, you can still choose destinations in an avoided area.
When you select Edit for the Setup item “Edit Avoid Area,” the following list screen is displayed:
You can select New Area or select (by touch) one of your existing areas to modify. If you choose New Area, the following screen is displayed:
Say or select Edit Name and use the keyboard to enter the name on the Enter avoid area name screen (19 characters max). Say or select Done to return to the previous screen. Say or select Edit Area to create the area to be avoided. The following screen appears:
Either select Address or Map Input on the Enter avoid area by screen. Each choice provides a slightly different way to locate the approximate map display for drawing the area you wish to avoid. After selecting the choice, a map screen will be displayed.
Use the ZOOM buttons to select the map scale (available scales are 1/20, 1/8, and 1/4 mile scales). Use the joystick to move the crosshairs (red circle) to the desired start point and push in the joystick to “set” the start point. Then move the joystick in a straight or diagonal direction to encompass the area to be avoided.

System Setup
Edit Waypoint Search Area
When driving en route to your destination, you can select a temporary destination waypoint (marked with a small flag on the map) along your route for gas, a restaurant, or other POI. When you resume your trip from the waypoint, the system continues the trip to your original destination. To use this feature, see Waypoints on page 63.
This Setup item allows you to select the distance from your highlighted route line (on either side of your route) that the system will search for a waypoint. From the Routing & Guidance screen, select Edit for “Edit Waypoint Search Area,” and then choose the desired search distance for either “On Freeways” or “On Surface Street.”
The diagram below shows how the system handles the search for “Places Along the Rout e” or “Places Around the Destination” (see Waypoints on page 63).
For “Places Along the Route,” the system looks in front of you within a corridor width specified by your values for “On Freeways” or “On Surface Street.”The system checks the upcoming area, based on your input.
For “Places Around the Destination,” the system searches outwards in a spiral from the destination. In this case, specific search values are not needed; the matches are displayed in order of distance from destination.
NOTE:
These settings do not affect the search range used for the voice commands like “Find nearest gas station” that are also available when viewing the map screen.

Clock Settings
From the Setup screen (second), say or
select Clock Settings and the
following screen appears:
Clock Adjustment
When you select Clock Adjustment ,
the following screen appears: This screen allows you to set or adjust
the following:
• Auto Daylight Saving Time
(Default = On)
• Auto Time Zone by GPS (Default = On)
• DST (Daylight Saving Time) Selection
(change DST schedule)
• Time Adjustment (adjust your clock)
• Reset button (resets this screen’s
settings to factory defaults)
Auto Daylight Saving Time
Sets automatic daylight saving time On
or Off . If set to On , the clock will
automatically “spring ahead” or “fall
back” by one hour when a daylight
saving time change occurs. If you reside
in a state or area wh ere daylight saving
time is not used, then you may want to
turn this feature off. NOTE:
If you set Auto Daylight Saving Time to
On
, the daylight saving time function is
activated even in an area that does not
use daylight saving time.
The federal government mandated that
starting in 2007, daylight saving time
begins in March and ends in November
instead of the old schedule from April to
October. The schedule is subject to
review and possible cancellation in
2010-2011.
The schedules for the time changes are
stored in the software and can be
selected in the DST schedule
selection screen. Therefore, your clock
will change based on the daylight saving
time schedule.
NOTE:
The automatic clock setting feature
relies on a satellite signal. It will not
work in Hawaii and Alaska.

Auto Time Zone by GPS
Sets automatic time zone selection by
GPS to On or Off . If you are driving
across the country and passing through
time zones, then this feature will
automatically set the time to the time
zone you are traveling through.
However, if you live and work in two
different time zones, you may want to
turn this feature off.
NOTE:
When driving near a time zone
boundary, the displayed time zone may
fluctuate between the two zone times.
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Selection (Change DST Schedule)
This option lets you select the schedule
(April-October or March-
November ) when daylight saving time
will automatically occur in your
navigation system. The system default is
the March-November schedule as
mandated by the U.S. government. During 2010-2011, it is possible that
this new change will
be canceled by the
government and returned back to the
previous “April-October” schedule. If
so, simply change th e schedule in this
setting to the “Apr il-October” schedule.
Time Adjustment
Adjusts the current time in hours and
minutes. You can reset the adjustment
by selecting Reset. Selecting Done
returns you to the previous screen.
NOTE:
Selecting Reset also clears any

Reporting Errors
Occasionally, you may encounter database errors.
• If the error pertains to freeways and main “verified” roads shown in black on the map, then report it either online athttp://update.navteq.com/ , or to Honda Customer Service.
• If the error involves a light brown “unverified” road, then do not report it. These areas have not been verified, and are provided for reference only (see Map Overview on page 6).
• For errors in points of interest (POI), like a business that has changed its name, do not report them. Keep in mind that depending on when the data was collected and when your DVD was purchased, the database can be out of date. The business may have not reported the change(s), or not be in the database at all. Update Navigation DVDs are available for purchase, usually in the fall of each year.
• If the error does not involve the database, such as vehicle position icon errors, screen error messages, or other GPS-related errors, see Frequently Asked Questions on page 123, System Limitations on page 98, or Troubleshooting on page 133.

PC Card Operation
A PC card with WMA or MP3 audio files can be played through the audio system and controlled using the navigation voice control system. PC card (PCMCIA) adaptors and various media chips can be purchased at any computer store. Tested media chips include Compact Flash and SD media, up to 2GB. Other media types and storage capacities may work, but have not been tested. Hard disc drive type media are not recommended because they can fail in a hot vehicle. See the FAQs section for additional information.
Inserting the PC Card
Ensure that the PCMCIA PC card adaptor contains th e media chip, and that the card adaptor is fully inserted in the slot, otherwise the display door will not close. Once the card is inserted and the door closed, ther e is a delay while the system reads the tag information (the folders, song titles, etc.). Once the tag information is read, the “CARD” or “TRACK LIST” buttons will function. For more information on the search feature, see the audio section of your Owner’s Manual.
Voice Control of PC Card
Functions
The navigation voice control system can be used to select the first 30 tracks directly by using the command, “Card play track X” (X=1-30). Additional voice commands allow the card tracks, artists, and albums to be played in a random, repeat, or scan mode. See the complete list of “Card” voice commands starting on page 142.
CD/CD-R Operation
A CD or a burned CD-R with MP3 or WMA media files can be played by the audio system and controlled using navigation voice commands. The display door will not close with a partially inserted CD in the slot. Once the display closes, there may be a slight delay before the “CD” or “TRACK LIST” buttons function. This is because the system has to read the tag information (artist, album, and track names) to allow searches to function. For more information on the search feature, see the audio section of your Owner’s Manual.
NOTE:
Ensure that burned CD-R discs do not have “stick-on” paper labels. The label adhesive can melt in a hot vehicle, and allow the label to curl up and jam the CD mechanism. Use a felt-tipped marker to label your CD-R discs.
