#949 of 963 New 2009 Odyssey Owner by apollo9 Sep 23, 2009 (5:04 am)
I purchased the Honda over the Toyota primarily because of the navigation system! Can you believe that in a Toyota you can not input while driving above 10 miles per hour? My wife would not be able to do her job as navigator. A recent review in PC Magazine shows that in-car system require fewer repairs than the others.      There have not been any new posts in a few weeks, and many negative posts. In the 3 months I have been playing with the Honda Navigation, I have read the manual cover to cover. So, I would like to hear some more tips about how to get the most out of the system that we are stuck with.      I am a Magellan owner, sorry Garmin users, and love my Magellan. My Magellan always takes a long time to acquire satellites, and I have had to return it for replacement during the warranty. But, I love it, the database is great! The database in the Honda leaves a lot to be desired. And interestingly both get their information from Navteq! Go figure.     So, I hope to generate some more discussion here, and see how we can help each other. Replies to this message: sebring95 (Sep 23, 2009 6:00 am) MartinWG (Sep 23, 2009 3:14 pm)

Replying to: apollo9 (Sep 23, 2009 5:04 am) I've mainly started using my blackberry for POI searches and then just plug in the address to the Ody NAV. Works pretty good...but again I still usually glance at a map before relying on any of the GPS units for longer trips. They all do some goofy things. Not sure if you've tried this tip...but you can "fly" ahead/around your route using the pointer and see the route or other roads you might be interested in.

Replying to: apollo9 (Sep 23, 2009 5:04 am) I own the 2009 Honda Accord with Nav system. Fortunately the Nav system is recessed into the dash which leaves a shelf area in front of it that is just perfect to hold my TomTom.   The Honda Nav system cannot find my home which has been here for 60 years. The TomTom cost about $600 3-4 years ago and is much better than the Honda system.   What a mistake the Honda purchase was.

Replying to: chris1964 (Oct 03, 2009 5:42 pm) I've heard there's an aftermarket Alpine system that's very close to the Ody system in terms of integration/looks (the Honda NAV is built by Alpine). I've seen quotes of around $1,500 for that one. I recall someone on another site pricing all the parts, wiring harnesses, etc. to do the OEM install at somewhere around $4,000 (before labor if you can't do it yourself). Honda/dealers don't sell the factory nav as an add-on. But yes, anything is possible with deep enough pockets.

Replying to: sebring95 (Oct 03, 2009 6:59 pm) THANKS FOR THE INFO BUT THIS IS TOO MUCH MONEY FOR ME I THINK ILL STICK TO THE PORTABLE PIONEER I HAVE ITS NOT BAD. Replies to this message: sebring95 (Oct 04, 2009 7:51 am)

Replying to: khanection (Jul 10, 2009 7:08 am) I BELIEVE THERE IS AN ALPINE NAVI THAT FITS IN THE DASH SINCE THE ONE ON THE ODYSSEY TOURING IS MADE BY ALPINE I SUJEST YOU DO A LITTLE SEARCH ON THIS TO MAKE SURE IT FITS.

Replying to: chris1964 (Oct 04, 2009 7:25 am) The Pioneer is probably better than the OEM nav as well. My garmin beats the pants off the Honda system, but it's not as big of a screen and nicely integrated....I likely wouldn't buy the OEM nav again if I get a choice.

Does anyone know how to erase the previous addresses?

Replying to: chris1964 (Oct 03, 2009 5:42 pm) Save your money on the factory nav. I have a 2005 Odyssey and to upgrade it it is going to cost $265 form what Honda is telling me and I have to get it from Alpine. You are better off getting a Garmin or one of the other GPS systems. To upgrade those it is $70. Just my 2 cents.
