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 963 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 963 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!
#11 of 963 Some general NAV information by jimblock Sep 27, 1999 (11:56 pm)
Dhyams has compiled an excellent Honda Odyssey FAQ page at http://www.ebicom.net/~dhyams/odyssey.html The section on the NAV answers a number of general questions about the Navigation system, and you might want to read it.
#12 of 963 NAV Database updates? by gmcafee Sep 28, 1999 (2:04 am)
I know from experience with PC-based software that roads and destinations can become outdated faster than one might think. Will there be updates available to the NAV database, and if so, will they be free? Has anybody asked about this yet?
#13 of 963 NAV Database updates? (gmcafee by jimblock Sep 28, 1999 (12:35 pm)
I haven't heard anything about the Odyssey database, but the Acura system (basically the same) offers annual updates, allegedly free the first three years and about $60 thereafter. Of course, that was for CD-ROM updates; possibly DVD updates will vary. There is also the potential for add-on updates -- I would be willing to pay for updates containing detailed information for places not included in the standard DVD. However, this is just a wish -- I haven't heard anything suggesting this from Honda or NaviTech.
#14 of 963 Nav updates by pkrbkr Sep 28, 1999 (4:08 pm)
According to the Nav manual, new updates will be available in the fall of each succeeding year. I suppose this coincides with new vehicle model introductions. That will provide those buyers with the latest information. No mention was made as to whether there would be a charge for the updated DVD. I can't imagine that it will be very expensive and all you need to do is pop it in. Could be wrong though.
#15 of 963 : Nav updates by dcrisler Sep 28, 1999 (4:14 pm)
I had read that also... I am hoping that since my version appears to be last years... that we will get a free update this "fall"!
