Replying to: ajkorost (Feb 17, 2009 8:23 pm) Compared to what? The mileage to the odometer? The odometer may be off... there's probably a better chance of that than the satellite being off. The time to how long it actually takes you to get to a destination? Times can be tough to predict. On long trips with highway driving it works pretty well. If there are traffic issues or if you don't travel the speed limit, it will be off. We may need more info. Are you talking about long trips or short? |

I wasn't referring to the estimated time of the trip. The time is off, like it took about 11 and a half driving hours (car being on and moving) my last road trip, yet the nav system time said it only took about 9 and change... which would have been an absolute record driving from NC to NH. On that same trip, the odometer and nav mileage were something like 20 miles off, which, I guess over the course of a 720 mile trip isn't too bad. The difference is regularly off 10ish miles per tank of gas. If a road I travel often is not included on the nav software, would that have the chance to mess up the mileage reading on the nav? Nothing that is a huge issue, I just searched around and couldn't find it being discussed anywhere

Replying to: ajkorost (Feb 20, 2009 10:28 am) I guess I'm not clear. What year is your Accord? I have an 06 and I know the Navi system changed a bit for 08 and 09. You might be talking about the trip computer part of the navi system. Mine lists the time and miles I've driven since the last fill-up (or reset). I do know that the trip computer and my odometer mileage are always off. I don't think I've ever checked the trip computer time traveled. |

I have a 2003. I am talking about the trip part of the system, how it never matches with what I have actually driven time or mileage wise. But if you have noticed the same thing, maybe that is just what happens.

I've caught quite of few obvious errors with the 2005 DVD that came with my 05 Accord, so I got a 2008 DVD. It had the same errors as the 2005. That was frustrating considering what they charge for the update!!! Mrbill
