By PlacesAfter you select Places from the Enter
destination by screen, the display
changes to:
There are four ways to find a place or
point of intere st (POI), by Category,
Name , Phone Number , or ZAGAT
2011 . 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-digit number with
area code. This is the quickest way to
find it.
The second best method is to select Category , Restaurant, and
CAFÉ/COFFEE SHOP . After you
select Place Name by Keyword
and search method, 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 page 91.
You can enter the desired destination using the voice control system. For
information on the available voice
commands, see Voice Command

City VicinityThe 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 the 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. Se lect a desired city
from the list.
Once you have selected the city, the
display changes to the 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
page 47).
Place NameWhen you select this option, the display
changes to the Enter a place name
screen. Enter your se lection, 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
page 47).Finding the Place by NameThe Name option allows you to enter
the name of a business, and then shows
you a list of businesse s 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
NumberThe 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
LocationWhenever 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 store 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
personal 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 loca tion and return to
the same spot.

RIDGELINE KA 31SJC850
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 16).
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 signals from the Global
Positioning System (GPS) 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 the 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 on the dashboard
Radar detectors mounted on 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 the
Routing Method on page 48. 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 page 6. 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.

RIDGELINE KA 31SJC850Customer Assistance
Reporting ErrorsOccasionally, 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 at
http://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 126, System Limitations on
page 103, or Troubleshooting on
page 133.
