GPS locates a destination 1,000 miles away...

So I've been trying to use my gps lately just to get used to the system but it seems to have a glitch or I didn't set the setting correctly. For example if I want to search for a specific restaurant it would give me a list of ones that are 200-900 miles away, I would have to scroll and scroll and scroll and never find the exact place I want to go to. Anyone have any tips on how to fix this?

Sounds like a gps calibration/ navi reset is in order.

I had the same problem, until I noticed that I had to tell it what state is was in. Since then, it's been fine.

Ok thank you for that input, I haven't been able to calibrate it since I bought it 2 weeks ago I'll give that a shot later on, thanks!

Don't reset or recalibrate yet.
First, turn on your Navi and select "Menu."
Select find by "Address." In the upper right corner, set your state or province.
Then find your work or school address.

If that works, go to find by Category, and look for Restaurants, the Fast Food, and find by Distance.
If everything works for you, no need to calibrate.

All the Navi (and owner's) manual links are in the 3G TL Service Dept/Garage thread; here's a shortcut to the 2005 Navi manual: http://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/p...EP0505NVCE.pdf

Check back here and advise if everything works or if there is a problem.
