Car Forum / Honda Cars / March 2007Navigation system problem
In my '04 Accord the Honda navigation system consistently has our "home" as about 100 yards further west of our actual home. I've tried the relocating the vehicle feature and just about everything else I can think of. Is there a way to "re-set" the system and start over or fix this problem in any way? Thanks H-S-F You could have your house moved. > In my '04 Accord the Honda navigation system consistently has our "home" > as about 100 yards further west of our actual home.

The addresses in between are calculated so may be off if lots are different size or beginning/ending address is wrong. Also whole sections may be off. Your gps could also be off due to weak signals and few satellites to set location. If you have something blocking the antenna or a signal interfering could also cause errors. Google gps and read some of the articles on how it works. Don't expect pin point accuracy or you will be driving through store front windows.... > In my '04 Accord the Honda navigation system consistently has our "home" > as about 100 yards further west of our actual home.

Should be dead on. >In my '04 Accord the Honda navigation system consistently has our "home" as >about 100 yards further west of our actual home.

It will also fluctuate around depending on the accuracy of the current signal. > You can set the location of your home by sitting in the driveway and > saving that location as your home.

I use a GPS for location, not necessarily specific street addresses. To be honest, I don't have a clue as to what address it shows for my house, but I know it will take me exactly to my driveway every time in any weather. >You can set that as your home but it will still show your address up the >street.

I think I'll pass on moving the house but my daughter agrees with just changing the address to up the street. I find something "just wrong" with having to do that! The silly thing about wanting the nav to be 100% accurate is that I know where my house is and how to get to it. I have tried the sitting in the driveway thing to change the location and it still thinks I live up the street! H-S-F Like I said before, do you want to know where your house is, or would you rather have a phony address number that the program gives you? The same goes for any location, not just your house. A GPS works with a location on the Earth. The internal software program may or may not be synchronized with that location. Trust the GPS. Use the software as a guide. >Thanks all.
