Unverified Area Routing: OFF (factory default) The driver wishes to navigate manually by using the navigation map and choosing the streets that lead to the destination. The driver understands that unverified roads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in location, naming, and address range. A blue dotted vector line is displayed on the map that continually points to your destination. The driver should stop and then use the map to select streets that lead to the destination. 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 is no turn-by-turn map or voice guidance.
A direction list is typically not available. However, depending on your route, directions are provided to help you reach the first available verified road.
Unverified Area Routing: ON The driver chooses to let the navigation system suggest possible routing. The driver understands that in some cases guidance may not be appropriate. Unverified roads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in location, naming, and address range.
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. There are cautionary pop-up screens and voice announcements, before and during the route. These serve as reminders that you should exercise additional caution, and obey all traffic restrictions. Voice guidance commands end with the words “If possible.” This is to remind the driver to verify all traffic restrictions before making a maneuver. A direction list is provided showing 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 Set up screen (second). The next few pages contain an example of a route to a destination 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 route than necessary. With Unverified Area Routing On, the route is shorter, but consists of unverified (light colored) 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.

With Unverified Area Routing Off, the driver chose to take a shortcut, and avoid the long route. The moment you enter an unverified street, a caution box appears on the screen, and is read by the voice. This lets you know that you are about to enter an unverified area and that you will be following a dotted “vector line” that points to your destination.
With Unverified Area Routing On, a caution box appears on the screen and is read by the voice. In this case you will be presented with a dashed blue/ pink line instead of the regular blue route line. You cannot assume that all guidance is appropriate. This is your signal to pay attention to posted traffic restrictions.
In both cases, when you actually enter the unverified street, a short caution will remind you. You will see and hear this short caution message whenever you enter unverified areas.

System Initialization
System Initialization If for any reason, you lose power to the navigation system (like the battery was disconnected), the navigation system will require initialization. Once completed, your system will be ready to use.
This initialization requires the following: • Entry of the 4-digit anti-theft security code to ‘‘unlock’’ the system.
• GPS initialization (may not be
needed depending on the length of time the system was without power).
• Map matching to align the GPS
coordinates to a place on the map.

Main Menust GPS Initialization Depending 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 changes to the Disclaimer screen. If within ten minutes the system fails to locate a sufficient number of satellites to locate your position, the following screen appears:
Navigation system is unable to acquire a proper GPS signal. - Move vehicle to another location - Turn the ignition switch off - Disconnect the battery for 30 minutes to clear the GPS receiver’s memory - Reconnect the battery and follow the screen prompts
After 30 minutes with this screen displayed, turn off the engine and restart the car. If you now see the Disclaimer screen, the GPS initialization is complete. The green GPS icon should appear in the upper left corner of the screen.
System Initialization
NOTE: • The average acquiring time is less than 10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45 minutes.
• If the system is still unable to acquire
a signal, follow the instructions on the screen, or contact your local dealer for assistance.
Map Matching This 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 destination at this time. When the name of the 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.

Main Menust 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.

Navigation System
Also, 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.
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 44). You may also have Unverified Area Routing set to “OFF” (see Unverified Area Routing on page 77).
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.
The destination icon shows the approximate location of the destination. This happens because a city block can have as many as 100 possible addresses (for example, the 1400 block is followed by the 1500 block.) Since most cities use only a portion of the 100 possible addresses (for example, in the 1400 block, the addresses may only go up to 1425 before the 1500 block starts), an address of 1425 will be shown a quarter of the way down the block by the system instead of at the end of the block where the destination actually is.
You may find that the system occasionally “reboots.” This is indicated by the display returning to the globe screen. A reboot can be caused by a number of things, such as extreme temperatures or shock from bumpy roads. It does not necessarily indicate a problem that requires service. If this happens frequently, please see your dealer.
Main Menust You will find that some points of interest (POI) may be missing when you search the database. This can be caused if at the time the database was gathered, the name was misspelled, the place was improperly categorized, or the POI change is not yet in the database. This means you may not find places listed that you know exist. This is also true for police agencies and hospitals. In outlying areas, facilities listed may not be the closest. Always check with local information sources if you need law enforcement or hospital services.
Every effort has been made to verify that the system’s database was accurate at the time it was created. However, businesses do fail or move to new locations, and new businesses start in the old locations. For this reason, you may occasionally find “inaccurate” information when you select and drive to a point of interest (for example, a restaurant is now a jewelry store). The number of these inaccuracies increases the longer you go without an update.
The digitized map database reflects conditions as they existed at various points in time before production. Accordingly, your DVD may contain inaccurate or incomplete data or information due to the passage of time, road construction, changing conditions, or other causes.
In addition, this database does not include, analyze, process, consider, or reflect any of the following categories of information: • Neighborhood quality or safety • Population density • Availability or proximity of law
enforcement
• Emergency, rescue, medical, or other
assistance
• Construction work, zones, or hazards • Road and lane closures • Legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight, load, height, and speed restrictions)
• Road slope or grade
Database Limitations
• Bridge height, width, weight, or
other limits
• Road, traffic or traffic facilities
safety, or conditions • Weather conditions • Special events • Pavement characteristics or
conditions
• Traffic congestion • Travel time
We assume no liability for any incident that may result from an error in the program, or from changed conditions not noted above.

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 at http://update.navteq.com/, or to Honda Customer Services.
• 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 their 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.
