Going Off The Route; Off-Road Tracking - Honda MDX Navigation Manual

Going Off the Route

If you leave the calculated route,
"Recalculating..." is displayed at the top
of the screen. The system will
recalculate the route from your current
location and direction to the desired
destination then give you a new route
instruction. This is done automatically if
you have set Rerouting to
AUTOMATIC on the SETUP screen
(Other) (see page 105).
If the Rerouting option in SETUP is
set to MANUAL, "Off route" appears at
the top of the screen when you leave the
calculated route. Say "Recalculate," or
select Recalculation whenever you
want the system to perform a
recalculation.

Off-road Tracking

If you drive away from a mapped road,
"Not on a digitized road" appears at the
bottom of the screen.
The map screen starts displaying a
series of dots (breadcrumbs) to show the
path you have taken if Off-road
Tracking on the SETUP screen
(Other) is set to ON (see page 115).
Driving to Your Destination
By following the dots, you can
backtrack to the mapped road you
originally left. "Breadcrumbs" may
occasionally be displayed in urban
areas, such as large parking lots in
shopping malls, or in new subdivisions
where the roads are not yet in the
database. In other cases, you may see
dots if the system temporarily goes off
route, like in a parking garage where the
GPS signal is unavailable. These dots
appear only in the 1/20, 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2
mile map scales. Rotate the Interface
Dial knob to change scales if
necessary.
Off-road Tracking continues for
approximately 150 miles; dots at the
beginning of the trail will start
disappearing when you exceed that
distance. When you reach a mapped
road, the system stops displaying dots.
