System Limitations

Although your Navigation System is a highly sophisticated piece of equipment, you may find it has certain limitations. The system
uses signals from the Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine its current location. The GPS is operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense. The system is subject to changes that could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment,
including your Navigation System.
Although the system will direct you to your desired destination, it may not always do it by what you consider to be the most direct
route.
The points of interest listings are not as complete in outlying areas as they are in metropolitan areas. For example, only limited
numbers of gas stations, restaurants, supermarkets, banks, etc., are included. In outlying areas, you may not find listings for places
you know exist, and the facilities listed may not be the closest. This is also true for police, agencies and hospitals. Always check
with local information sources if you need law enforcement or hospital services.
On rare occasions, you may find that the system "reboots." This is indicated by the display returning to the logo screen. A reboot can
be caused by a number of things, including excessive heat or shock. It does not necessarily indicate a problem that requires service.
After the system completes the reboot, it should allow you to complete whatever functions you were performing before the reboot.
Honda has made every effort to verify that the system's database was accurate at the time it was created. However, businesses do
close 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. The number of these inaccuracies will increase as time goes on.
However, database updates are available annually. See Map Software & Navigation System Software Upgrades on page 152.
