2018 Honda Odyssey Owners Manual - Basic Navigation



Basic Navigation

Operation

A real-time navigation system uses GPS and a map database to show your current location and help guide you to a desired destination. You can operate the system using voice commands or the system controls.

To reduce the potential for driver distraction, certain manual functions may be inoperable or grayed out while the vehicle is moving. Voice commands are always available.

Steering Wheel Controls

Use the steering wheel controls to say voice commands.

Talk Button Tips

For a list of available navigation commands, see "Voice Command Index". The system recognizes only the commands on the list.

  • When using the Talk button, wait for a beep before saying a command.
  • To bypass the system prompts, simply press the Talk button again to say your command.
  • Speak in a clear, natural voice.
  • Reduce all background noise.
  • Adjust the dashboard vents away from the microphone in the ceiling.
  • Close the windows and moonroof.
