honda-automobiles 2010 odyssey User Manual

The navigation does not route me the same way I would go, or 
the way some other mapping program displays. Why is this?

The navigation system attempts to generate the optimum route. See 
Changing the Routing Method on page

Why is the street I’m on not shown on the map? It has been 
here for more than a year.

The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. See page

ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.

The vehicle position icon is not following the road, and the 
“GPS icon” text in the upper left hand corner of the screen is 
white or missing.

• The GPS antenna (located under the center of the dashboard) may be 

blocked by personal items. For best reception, remove items from the 
dashboard, such as radar detectors, cell phones, or loose articles.

• Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devices can interfere with the GPS 

reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on 
page

I entered a destination, but the blue highlighted route and 
voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/pink dashed line 
before I got to my destination. Why is this?

Your route has entered an unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on 
page

The map rotates while I make turns. How can I stop this?

Select the North-up map orientation by voice, or by touching the map 
orientation icon on the 

map

 screen. See Map Orientation on page

Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and 
Heading-up map orientations. Why is this?

The Heading-up map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales 
(1/20 - 1 mile scales). See Map Scale on page

While driving to my destination, the “time to go” display 
sometimes increases, even though I am getting closer.

The “Time to go” is based on actual road speeds. However if your speed 
slows down when you encounter slower traffic, the system updates the 
“Time to go” based on your actual speed to give you a better estimate of 
arrival time.

The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short distance 
behind, especially when I arrive at an intersection. Is there 
anything wrong?

No. When at an intersection, the system is unaware of the width of the 
intersecting road. Large differences in vehicle position can indicate a 
temporary loss of the GPS signal. See GPS Reception Issues on page
