Car Forum / Honda Cars / June 2007Civic Nav System Routing Options
I have an 07 Civic with the built-in nav system that has an annoying "feature". When I go on long trips for vacations, I like to take back roads, state highways and such, and I used to do this with just a pocket atlas at hand. I'm planning a trip and if I put in a destination anywhere over 60 or so miles away, I don't get the option to minimize freeways. Is there any way around this? I'd like to put in my final destination, about 900 miles away and minimize freeways, but the thing just won't let me do it. Any ideas?

Any ideas? Yeah. You spent $2000 for that system, which is built in and which you cannot take from car to car. You also cannot choose what features you want. You could spend $500 for a nice portable system that does all you want and much more, and which goes from car to car. Spend the $500, and get a Garmin system that does what you want.

Thanks for the smart-a.s remark that nobody needed. What do you do? Troll usenet forums looking for someone to berate? Schmuck > On Jun 24, 10:10 am, "Elmo P.

I got the nav system not only for that, but for the other sound system options that it came with and to add resale to the car. I asked a simple question and was responded to with "spend another $500", instead of either suggestions on how to alleviate the problem or that there was no solution. In short, a usenet troll that likes to be insulting and start arguments. >>> On Jun 24, 10:10 am, "Elmo P.

Are you saying that you can turn off the maximize freeways for routes up to about 60 miles, but over that the option is not there? My nav is in an Accord so may be a little different, but I have had the freeways turned off for routes up to 300 miles. Haven't tried it further than that.

Say I put in a route to go from Chicago to St. Louis, but I don't want to take I-55, so I try to change the routing options, but the only ones available are Direct, East and Maximize Freeways. But if I were to put in Chicao go Kankakee, I have those three routing options, plus Minimize Freeways and one other (I don't remember what the 5th option was). It's quite annoying. On a related note, has anyone tried to go to the hondanavi.com site? There's a link from the main Honda site that there is an updated DVD available, but taking that link results in Mozilla saying, "Waiting for hondanavi.com" which just eventually yields a blank page. >> >I have an 07 Civic with the built-in nav system that has an annoying >> >"feature".

I just tried it and went right to the order page. Of course it was for the Accord and not the Civic. Didn't try that one. Try this one and maybe you can use it to get to the Civic DVD. http://automobiles.honda.com/models/interior_accessories.asp?ModelName=Accord+Sedan# Sometimes these sites are very hard to access if you have pop-ups blocked, cookies screwed down, etc. Might check that with your browser.
