Here is the latest information I have. I started with a list of covered cities that was previously published here for 2000. I have added cities that are now covered in the 2001 database (as indicated in the Navigator manual), indicated by an asterisk * at the beginning of the line. It's an improvement, but at this rate it will be many years before the whole US is covered. Daryl ************************************************ Alabama: None Arizona: Phoenix Metro Area Arkansas: None California: Los Angeles/San Diego Metro Area Sacramento Metro Area San Francisco Metro Area *Fresno *San Luis Obispo Colorado: Denver/Boulder/Colorado Springs Metro Area Connecticut: Brideport Danbury Hartford Metro Area New Haven Metro Area Norwalk Stamford Delaware: Wilmington Metro Area Florida: Fort Myers Metro Area Jacksonville Metro Area Miami/Ft Lauderdale West Palm Beach Metro Area Orlando Metro Area Tampa Bay/St Petersburg Metro Area Georgia: Atlanta Metro Area Idaho: Sun Valley Ski Resorts Illinois: Chicago Metro Area (to Wisconsin border) East St. Louis Metro Area Indiana: Gary/Hammond Metro Area Indianapolis Metro Area Kokomo Metro Area Iowa: None Kansas: Kansas City/Leavenworth Metro Area Kentucky: None Louisiana: New Orleans Metro Area Maine: None Maryland: Baltimore/Washington DC Metro Area Ocean City Massachusetts: Boston Metro Area Springfield Metro Area *Cape Cod Area Michigan: Boyne City Charlevoix Detroit Metro Area (inc.

| Wow thats not much. Maybe all us Honda/Acura owners should start a email campain at Honda demanding a better update. Does someone have a email address for Honda. I mean each week until we see an improvement in the software. If they get tired on thousands of emails each week they may improve it. As my buddy says, "The squeeky wheel gets the grease." | |

Dmathews, I believe you have a good idea regarding the e-mail campaign. May not hurt to also have everyone with Navi system or planning to get the Navi system send at least one "Pony Express" letter to the Honda HQ. I do not know what is entailed to enlarge the database in the Navi system, but with the technology available for portable Laptops, GPS systems, etc. each Navi system should have the capability of displaying anyplace within the United States, if not the whole North American continent. Guess I won't be getting an Ody with a Navi system soon. Couldn't find my way from the Front Range to the West slope or the ski areas in Colorado, according to the table listed by DLafferty. That seems kind of pathetic to not have any more detailed areas in the US than what is listed. Am I right that there is no navigation to the numerous National Parks? I did not see any listed including such large areas as Yellowstone, or such congested areas as Yosemite. |

The highways are included throughout the US. Even unlisted cities (such as Tucson) have a few main streets and all the freeways and highways through town. It's just the details of the smaller streets that are missing. I checked Yosemite and Yellowstone. All the highways leading to them are included, and the main roads through the parks. However, it doesn't show any of the streets in Yosemite Village, for example. Daryl |

For those of you with the Nav. in your Odyssey the Honda site is now advertising the new version of the software, V2.03 See post 276 for coverage areas. Some additions and of course they should have updated the places, resturants, etc. too. They have not updated the discription for it yet. |

| Just picked up my 2001 EX-NAV this weekend. I expected the NAV DVD to be the same version available on the Honda website, Version 2.03. However, my DVD is 2.02. Did anyone receive 2.03 with their Odyssey? | |
| I picked up my EX-NAV on 10/5, it came with 2.03 | |
| Picked mine up on Sept. 30 and I also have 2.03 My dealer received it on the 20th of Sept. so it was made the first part of Sept. | |
| Sorry, false alarm. The DVD has V2.02 silkscreened on the disk but checking the system information shows a software version of 2.03. Thanks to those who responded. | |
|
|
| Besides the additional cities with V2.03, what upgrades have been made to the software itself? Does anyone now what specific improvements have been made? Just trying to justify $152 for the upgrade, or waiting a couple years before upgrading. | |
