US_MCAP.book Page 148 Thursday, March 15, 2007 4:00 PM Troubleshooting GPS Signal PROBLEM EXPLANATION The Navigation System is unable to acquire a proper GPS signal. Make sure there is nothing blocking the GPS antenna located under the windscreen (see page 7).
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.
Page 150
The average acquiring time is about five minutes, but it can take as long as 30 minutes. If the system is unable to acquire a signal, follow the instructions on the screen. Contact your local Honda dealer if a problem still persists.
