If this procedure is not necessary, the system proceeds
directly to the Disclaimer screen. 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 10 minutes the system fails to locate a sufficient
number of satellites to locate your position, the
following screen appears.
＊０２
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.
It this appears, turn off the engine, then restart the
vehicle and move it to a different location. If you now
see the Disclaimer screen, the GPS initialization is
complete.
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. If this screen appears
again, go to troubleshooting for the GPS icon is white
or not shown (see page 23-226).
• Skip to a CSF screen by pushing the MENU
buttons at the same time and can move to an System
Links screen.
Map Matching
This part of the initialization matches the GPS
coordinates 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 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.
Obtaining A Navigation DVD
If the Navigation DVD is lost or damaged, or you need a
yearly updated DVD, you have two ways to purchase
one. You can either call (888) 549-3798, or order on-line
at www.hondanavi.com.
Both methods require a credit card. The DVD for this
model has a white label, and cannot be ordered through
the parts system. The following DVDs will not work in
this navigation system:
• Earlier model navigation DVDs (black, orange, light
blue label and the older version with a white label)
• Map software programs manufactured by other
companies
• DVD movies, or DVDs containing audio recordings
Update DVDs are available for purchase usually in the
fall of each year. They may contain the following:
• Enhanced maps and points of interest (POI) coverage
• Fixes for minor software bugs
• Additional features
NOTE:
• Map matching must be done any time the DVD is
removed or replaced.
• Always order navigation DVDs on an as-needed basis.
During a typical model year, each color DVD may
undergo a half a dozen software only version
upgrades to fix minor issues on some or all models
the DVD supports. This is normal. Usually only the
letter at the end of the version number changes,
while the database (maps and POIs) remain
unchanged.
• Never promise your customer future free updates.
＋ INFO There are no free programs for updating the
navigation DVD. Update DVDs are generally available
for purchase each fall. The online DVD order site
provides information when an update for a particular
color DVD is available.
• Damaged discs are not covered by warranty unless
they have been damaged by the navigation system.
