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
87.
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 a ll traffic restrictions. See Unverified
Area Routing on page87.
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.

Navigation System13
Getting Started
NAVI BACK button
This button has the same function as the
CANCEL button. When you press and
release it, the display 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 or climate control voice command
up to one second after the command
confirmation.
NOTE:
For the Touring model, the NAVI
TALK and NAVI BACK buttons are
deactivated while using the Bluetooth®
HandsFreeLink® feature. See your
vehicle Owner’s manual and the official
web site ( handsfreelink.honda.com ) for
information on this system.
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 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 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.

14Navigation System
Getting Started
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,
when using either the Navigation or
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® voice
control system, the following 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
132 .
 Adjust the air flow 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.
 After pressing and releasing the NAVI TALK button, wait for the
beep, then give a voice command.
 Give a voice command in a clear, natural speaking voice without
pausing between words.  If the system cannot recognize your
command because of background
noise, speak louder.
 If more than one person is speaking at the same time, the system may
misinterpret your command.
 If you are still having trouble with the voice control system, refer to Voice
Command Help on the
Information screen.

Getting Started
Using the On-screen
Keyboard
When the system needs input from you,
the display changes to a keyboard. Use
the displayed letters to enter the
information. Enter each letter by one of
the following methods:
 Using the voice control system, say the desired letter on the screen.
 Move the highlighting to the desired letter using the joystick, then push in
on the joystick.
 Touch the desired le tter on the screen.
When speaking the letters or using
“spell mode,” you can substitute the
name that represents each letter or
symbol. This improves recognition. The
system will only re spond to the names
shown in the following graphic.
For example:
 To select the letter “A”: Say, “ A”;
“ Alpha ”; or “Apple .”
 To select the letter “M”: Say, “ M”;
“ Mike ”; or “ Mary.” The names that can be used for each lette
r are shown below. For additional keyboard
symbols, see page 141 .
