#1 of 958 Hello by csade Sep 24, 1999 (6:50 pm)
I saw alot of questions in the regular Odyssey forum about navigational systems, and thought it would be a good idea for those with NAV systems to post setup, and other technical information. Enjoy the ride !!
#2 of 958 Csade - No Trip Computer by jimblock Sep 24, 1999 (7:22 pm)
The Navigation system does not provide a traditional trip computer. It is apparently not linked to the fuel gage, odometer, etc. so it doesn't have the necessary information. It DOES estimate time until arrive when you have entered a destination, and it updates the information as you drive. This is done by calculated distance, and updated locations and speed estimate from gyroscopic sensor. However, the estimated arrival seems to assume you don't exceed 60 MPH (even if you have been going faster). It does have a database that includes gas station locations (and Honda service, and much more) although it is certainly not complete.

I finally found this topic, I saw mention of it somewheres but was between offices and such and lost it... in any case when I get more info on the lack of some info from the map database people I will post it here.
#4 of 958 I bought one by jefe5 Sep 25, 1999 (10:50 pm)
I ordered one and I don't know anything about it's features, I have no info at all. Did I screw up? I did it to talk my wife out of another T&C. So even if it is useless, it was worth it....

Jefe5, you ordered an Odyssey, or the nav system? If you're talking about the whole vehicle, well, check out its description under "new trucks" at the bottom of the page. guitarzan Community Leader/Vans Conference
#6 of 958 Clarification by jefe5 Sep 26, 1999 (7:54 pm)
I have ordered the vehicle and I ordered it with the nav system. I know about the vehicle, but am dieing for info on the nav system.

OK guys, fill him in with your vast knowledge! Jefe5, sometimes it is easier to start with questions. Have you thought up any specific q's that could help spurn some response? guitarzan Community Leader/Vans Conference

I thought this would be a good topic for folks with the nav system to exchange ideas. Maybe everyone's learning as you go or (gasp!) reading the owners manual..
#9 of 958 ok, specific questions by jefe5 Sep 27, 1999 (2:47 pm)
Does the nav system talk? Does it say turn left at the next intersection? Does it say prepare for a left exit from the freeway?
#10 of 958 ok, some specific answers by andrews7 Sep 27, 1999 (6:14 pm)
The nav system does talk. A computerized female voice tells you when to turn, right or left lane for freeway exits, distance until you reach the exit, etc.. This happens in conjunction with the display showing a "zoomed" in map of the exit you are to take with your destination highlighted in blue. We have experimented with purposely making wrong turns and the computer will attempt to direct you back to your predetermined route. We will give the nav system a real test in two weeks when we travel to Chicago. So far my wife and I love it!
