System Overview
Your navigation system is a highly
sophisticated location system with voice
control that uses satellites and a map
database to show you where you are and
to help guide you to a desired
destination.
The navigation system receives signals
from the global positioning system
(GPS), a network of 24 satellites in orbit
around the earth. By receiving signals
from several of these satellites, the
navigation system can determine the
latitude, longitude, and elevation of
your vehicle. In a ddition, a gyroscopic
yaw sensor and a vehicle speed sensor
in your vehicle k eep track of the
direction and speed of travel at all times.
Introduction
2011 Odyssey

Navigation System5
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 destination 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 Precautions
If you have front or side 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 an tenna is located in
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 display,
or near the GPS antenna in 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.

6Navigation System
Introduction
While driving, do not look at the screen
or operate the system controls for more
than a second or so at a time, and only
after deciding you can do so safely. Pull
to the side of the road if you need more
time to look at the screen or operate the
controls. The navigation system is designed to
provide route information to help you
reach your destination. However, this
route guidance may sometimes conflict
with current road conditions such as
street closures, road construction,
detours, and out-of-date map data.
Additionally, the system itself has
certain limitations (see page
123).
Therefore, you must verify the audio
and visual route information provided
by the system by caref ully observing the
roadway, signs and signals, etc. If you
are unsure, proceed with caution.
Always use your own good judgment,
and obey traffic laws while driving.
Map Overview
Current Street
The current street on which your vehicle
is located appears at the bottom of the
map screen (see page 20). A message
saying “Not on a digitized road” may
appear instead when you drive half a
mile away from a mapped road. For
more details, see Off-road Tracking on
page 71.
Verified/Unverified Street
Your navigation system has two kinds
of streets: verified (red, gray, and pink)
and unverified (purple). The differences
between the two types of streets are
contrasted in the chart on page 7.
Using the navigation system
while driving can take your
attention away from the road,
causing a crash in which you
could be seriously injured or
killed.
Only operate system controls
when the conditions permit
you to safely do so.
WARNING
“Unverified” Road
“Verified” Road
2011 Odyssey

Navigation System7
Introduction
Verified streets Unverified streets
When
displayed These roads are generally found within metropolitan
areas, and include interstate freeways and major roads
connecting cities. These roads are generally found
in rural areas, and typically
include residential streets away from the center of a town.
Street color Shown as red (freeways), pink (state routes), or gray
(verified streets)
on the daytime map screen. Shown on the daytime
map screen as purple.
Map quality The database vendor has
verified these streets.
Information like turn restri ctions, 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 ve
rified by the database vendor.
The system does not contain in formation whether these are on
one-way streets, have turn rest rictions, or the road’s average
speed. They are shown on the map for reference and may have
errors in map location, naming, and address range.
Routing
differences While driving to your destin
ation, the displayed route
line is solid blue. The syst em provides voice and map
guidance to your destination. Your route line is either a pur
ple dotted “vector line,” or a
dashed pink/blue line. For inform ation on selecting this option,
and the routing differences, see Unverified Area Routing on
page 101.
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
chooses route guidance, there
are cautionary screens before and during the route urging the
user to be extra cautious, and obey all traffic restrictions. See
Unverified Area Routing on page101.
Guidance
voice Voice guidance issues instructions such as “In a half-
mile, make a right turn.” The phrase “if possible” is added
to each guidance instruction.
For example: “In a half-mile, ma ke a right turn, if possible.”
Time and
distance
“to go” The time and distance “to go,
” displayed while en route
to a destination, is based on the average speed and
distance for the roads used for your route. The time and distance “to go,”
displayed while en route to a
destination, is based on the aver age speed and distance for the
roads used for your route.
