Acura 2008 MDX Navigation - Manual (Page 131)

Navigation System 131
Coverage Areas
Operation in Alaska and
Hawaii
Certain functions that rely on a satellite
signal will not work correctly in Alaska
and Hawaii. These functions include but
are not limited to AcuraLink, Nav-
Traffic, automatic clock updates, and
time zone adjustments.
Alaska
If the vehicle was purchased in the
Lower 48 states and driven to Alaska,
the system cannot display maps. The
map screen will be blank and only
display the red vehicle position icon.
Hawaii
This section describes the differences in
Navigation System operation for
vehicles delivered in Hawaii.
XM Radio
Navi Vehicles delivered to Hawaii are
equipped with XM hardware, but XM
broadcasting is not available; therefore
sections of the manual that mention XM
audio, traffic displays, and AcuraLink
features, do not apply. Vehicles
originally delivered to the US mainland,
and shipped to Hawaii also have XM, but
will not function because the XM
satellites (aimed toward the US
mainland) are too far away to obtain
reception.
Map Coverage
All roads displayed on the Hawaii map
screens are detailed coverage roads.
Text related to “unverified” roads or
areas are not applicable. The following
topics do not apply in Hawaii:
• Unverified road descriptions (see
page 6 , 92 )
• Cautions and pop-up windows related
to unverified roads (see page 69 )
• Setup entries that relate to turning on
or off unverified routing (see
page
93 )
• When zooming in and out, there is no
350 mile scale for Hawaii
Other Map Issues
• See the coverage section for a list of
islands with coverage (see page 119 )
• The map scale “traffic” indicator,
shown beneath the map scale bar,
may show at vehicle start, but
disappear later. This is normal.
• Freeway Exit information does not
exist in Hawaii, so if the “Freeway
Exit Info” icon is shown on the icon
bar, the button may be selected, but
there is no data for Hawaii.
