Frequently Asked Questions - Honda 2008 Accord Navigation Manual

Map, and Features, Voice Operation, Entering Addresses
Problem
Why does the Disclaimer screen need to be displayed every
time I start the car? I am the only driver.
The SETUP or Information screen has "grayed out" items
that I cannot select. Why?
I tried entering an address, but the city or street could not be
found. Is there any other way to route to the location?
When I enter an address, some letters become grayed out. Is
this normal?
How do I delete Personal Address, Previous Destinations, or
the Home Address?
I cannot hear the navigation system voice.
The voice control system is having difficulty recognizing my
Voice commands.
When the system pronounces the street name in the guidance
command, or reads the destination address it sounds strange.
What causes this?
The Disclaimer screen reminds you and your guest drivers to always
operate the navigation system in a safe manner.
You need to select OK on the Disclaimer screen to view these items. See
System Function Diagram on page 21.
Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area Try entering the street
first. In rural "unverified" areas or new subdivisions, streets may be
missing, or only partially numbered. Try selecting the destination directly
from the map. See By Map Input on page 40.
Yes, as you enter each letter in an address or a point of interest (POI), the
system looks in the database to see what letters are possible and "grays out"
letters that do not apply.
This is done in SETUP, under "Personal Information." See page 78.
1) Ensure that Volume in the SETUP screen (Main Setup) is not OFF.
See page 77.
2) Go to "Basic Settings" in the SETUP screen (Other), and set Voice
Recognition Feedback to ON. See page 84.
Ensure the vents are not blowing on the microphone on the ceiling, the
vehicle is as quiet as possible, and that you are using the correct command
when speaking (See Improving Voice Recognition on page 14). Say "Help"
at any screen to see a list of the applicable voice commands. If the system
cannot recognize your command because of background noise, speak
louder.
The basic guidance phrase uses a studio-recorded voice, but the street name
is pronounced by the system using a machine-generated voice.
Consequently, the name may be mispronounced or sound strange at times.
