System Limitations
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
78
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 ride to a point of interest. The number
of these inaccuracies will increase as time
goes on.
However, database updates are available
annually. See the Owner's Manual for
details.
Loss of Satellite Signal
If the system loses power for more than five
minutes, it takes a while to reacquire the
GPS signal (satellite positions).
The ignition must be turned to ON or
●
ACC.
The motorcycle must be parked outside,
●
away from buildings.
The motorcycle should be stationary.
●
(Acquiring the signal takes longer if the
motorcycle is moving.)
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.
