Thanks for the info..... I have a Tom Tom that I love but it gets to be a pain transferring it between three different vehicles which is why I purchased the EXL w/navigation. I've been playing with it and it is by far way behind last years map on my Tom Tom. I'm getting ready to drive from FL to PA and I hope it holds up. I think I'll pack the Tom Tom just in case. Thanks again,

Take the Tom Tom for a Safety Net by debchuck

I, too, have a portable navigation system from Cobra. As I said, it runs circles around the Honda anywhere anytime. We just returned from Nashville over Memorial Day weekend, and I used both systems with identical entries. The Cobra spoke up way faster than the Honda, but the Honda did give correct information around the big city. It's in rural areas that Honda acts like nobody lives or travels!!
 
I'd strongly suggest you take the Tom Tom with you for a safety net. I won't trust my Honda over the Cobra anywhere although the Honda does a decent job in large metropolitan areas. It acts no one lives outside the city limits! To be sure you arrive where you want, my advice is to take Tom Tom, program the Honda and compare the two. You'll see that the Honda gets you there if you're going somewhere popular and large. If not, the Tom Tom will take over and you'll still get there!

I keep my portable nav with me as well. What's scary is that the Honda system is one of the better OEM systems...!! It has very few POI's compared to even my previous (7yo) Garmin....Believe it or not the Lexus system in my wife's is complete garbage. She doesn't even use it and has a $150 Garmin Nuvi that she uses. I'll probably never buy an OEM nav again, even with the integrations and nice big screen. Maybe if they drop the price to around $300 but we paid close to $2,000....oh well good thing I'm a gadget guy or I'd be really peeved!

There is a guy on ebay with a near perfect rating selling navi 4.62 update discs for $130. I have a 2006 Odyssey - do you think it is worth trying it? Can the wrong disc really blow the whole system like they say on the hondanavi.com site?

From what I've seen of the newest disk, it's not THAT much better. I sat in a new Ody at the dealership while ours was getting serviced and was looking up POI's and there was still a ton of missing restaurants and even a road that's been on the books for five years.......this was an '08 Ody about a month ago. I'm not paying them beans until I at least know there's 50% of what a $150 Garmin has....

1. Can't find my navigation owner's manual, but I do know my pin #.
2. Upgraded the Navigation DVD in 2005 Odyssey Touring from 4.56 to 4.62.
3. Having problems and want to go back.
4. Like my PC, I reformat and start over b/c it is quicker, cleaner and I am dumb!
 
Question 1: Has any one succeeded at restoring their old versions?
Question 2: Can someone please write a clear concise step-by-step guide? a new version but am experiencing problems.
 
I've searched and seen this question several times, but someone has yet to address it, please help.

Well Guicide has a guide.
 
Press Map Menu and Cancel at once but you load the 4.56 disc. Then you get into a diagnostic menu. Press version and make sure the 4.56 disc is in there. Then you press download and it will downgrade the unit.
