#925 of 963 Vertical Blue Line in Nav Screen by jojo0718 Mar 09, 2009 (4:00 pm)

#926 of 963 canada coverage for 2001 ody? by kfuchs Mar 11, 2009 (8:34 am)
I moved to Canada, and apparently Columbus was wrong. The world must be flat and ends at the US border according to my navi. From my searching today, it would seem that Honda has not bothered to make an update for the 2001 (black disc) navi that includes Canada. Somebody please tell me I am wrong, or that there is a hack for the white disc to make it work in my 2001, or, or... is it just a losing battle?

Replying to: kfuchs (Mar 11, 2009 8:34 am) 2001 (version 2.60 - black disc) can be upgraded to version 4.73 white dvd (USA south dvd) where it will covered about 100 miles/160 km NORTH of the USA border.   If you need additional North Canada coverage, you may purchase Canada DVD (gray disc).   https://store.alpine-usa.com/Hondadvdsales/naviorder.php   Note: Fulfillment is handled by Alpine Electronics of America, Inc.

Replying to: ocuihs (Mar 14, 2009 3:48 pm) Don't use 4.73 since thats not compatible with the 2001 Odyssey. It's for the newer DVD systems. Only use 2.60 for your application.

Replying to: 2006odyowner (Oct 17, 2008 6:48 am) Oh Oh Oh Ody - I drove up to San Francisco with my eldest child last weekend. He was moving me there - and half way up the Coast emy GPS said "door open blah blah blah" The kid is cute and talented but no tech wizard. I've been googling, reading my "War and Peace" owners manual and basically learning new curse words for a week. Then I found you! I haven't even tried this yet but the mere fact that I learned where the darn thing is located "under the seat" has made me happier than a brand new pair of Christian Louboutin shoes -

I own a 2002 Odyssey and I am using a Garmin 250 {speaks directions but not street names}. It is handling both the USA & Canada very well. If ever I buy my next Odyssey I will not take the navigation option but just use a Garmin that speaks.street names, Garmin map updates are easy via your computer. I keep it on the tray between the seats on a 'Garmin tree'. Window and windowsill mounts are outlawed in Ontario, Canada. A Canadian

My 2009 Accord navigation system can't find my home. It can find the pre 911 address which was good about 15 years ago.   It CAN NOTgive directions from/to any street that is not a State of US highway. You are on your own in the middle of a city except for a dotted line that shows the straight line direction. There IS NOT audible NOR visual directions to a point that is not on a State or US highway.   I drive around with a TomTom sitting in front of the very expensive Nav system.   Where is the customer outrage??????? or any HONDA concern?????

Replying to: MartinWG (May 22, 2009 7:24 am) According to the GSP reviews TomTom is not a good choice.

Replying to: MartinWG (May 22, 2009 7:24 am) I believe there is a way to allow the system to route you on "unverified" routes. I had to change that setting early on as well. Yes, the POI's are lacking and the routing is questionable. My Garmin does a far better job. But the integration is top-notch and as sad as it is...the Honda system is still better than many other OEM's I've used. My wife's Lexus system is even more frustrating and lacking. I usually bring the Garmin along as back up.

Replying to: MartinWG (May 22, 2009 7:24 am) I feel for you, man!! I own a 2007 Odyssey that we love in every possible facet except the nav system which does not measure up to a $200 over-the-television sales pitches. I have been castigated and ridiculed on this site for my complaints in the past but I don't worry about other people because I have an out -- first, an extended warranty that is a long way from being used, and a state lemon law for the life of the warranty.   Since my original complaints, I have visited a couple of very large cities and the Honda unit works fine there. But, take it to the rest of the world and you're on your own, plain and simple. I don't care a whit about the integration that everybody talks about. The nav system is inferior and was from the get-go. There is no customer outrage and you can forget about Honda concern. I have talked with Honda national on a couple of occasions and all I get is a story about how Alpine made the system and how it's a little short on some aspects of updates and so on, but no one is willing to go the mat and get Honda to fix these things. If you write Alpine, you'll get no reply.   In short, Honda is done with you when you give them the money or send in the payments regularly. And I have owned more Honda cars than this one so I know a little about the usual practices of Honda customer service. It's usually top-drawer -- but when you have a legitimate complaint about which they are doing nothing, you get shut out in the cold. Again, though, an extended warranty is going to change that one day!!!   If I take any sizable trip today, I program the Honda and I also make absolutely certain to take my QVC Cobra with me for backup. Am I ticked off? You bet!! But it looks like you and I are about the only ones willing to tell Honda the bare truth -- the thing just don't cut the mustard for the average customer who lives somewhere other than in a major, major metropolitan area.
