How to Use Honda Navigation Companion?

[SanAlaina]

Honda Navigation Companion is used as follows: 1. Click on the navigation in the main interface and agree to enter; 2. Click on the middle-lower part of the screen to input the destination and click confirm, at which point the navigation will display the map near the destination on the navigation interface; 3. Click on the upper-middle part of the screen for 8 seconds on the destination, and the navigation will automatically start working. Honda's brands include: Accord, City, Odyssey, CR-V, Fit, CIVIC Guangzhou Honda, Japan Honda, Legend, Stream, S2000, and Acura. Taking the Honda City as an example: it is a compact car with exterior dimensions of 4390mm in length, 1690mm in width, and 1495mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2450mm. It is equipped with a 1.3T naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, with a maximum power of 60 kW and a maximum torque of 116 Nm.

When I first started using the car navigation system, I also found it quite complicated. But now that I'm used to it, I find it quite simple. The basic operation of Honda Navigation Companion is divided into three steps: after getting in the car, tap the navigation icon on the center console screen to enter the system, input the destination address via voice or handwriting, and then select the system-recommended route to start navigation. Beginners are advised to bind their home address in the settings first, so they can simply say "go home" to activate automatic navigation. On the road, it provides real-time alerts for speed limits and traffic cameras, and automatically avoids congested routes. It's best to find a parking spot to explore the system slowly when using it for the first time, rather than operating it while driving. Connecting to a mobile hotspot enhances its functionality, allowing you to search for nearby gas stations and parking lots. Once you get familiar with it, you'll find it much more convenient than mobile phone navigation, with a larger screen that's easier on the eyes.

As a tech enthusiast, I've explored the advanced features of Honda Navigation Companion. The basic operation involves activating the central control screen after starting the vehicle and clicking the navigation icon to enter the interface. For advanced functions, you need to connect to the HondaLink app on your phone: search for a location on the app and send it to the car's system, which will automatically load the navigation route when you get in the car. The system supports real-time traffic display, with red, yellow, and green colors indicating congestion levels. It's recommended to enable the 3D map view and voice wake-up function in the settings, allowing you to simply say 'navigate to work' while driving to automatically plan the route. I also regularly update the map data in the system settings to ensure accuracy for new road sections. The favorites feature is very practical—save five frequently used addresses, and with one click, you can start navigation. Note that the car's data plan is limited, so it's best to connect to WiFi for map updates.

Taking the kids out relies entirely on this navigation system. Simply put, after starting the car, tap the navigation icon on the screen and use voice commands to say destinations like "Children's Hospital." The system recommends three routes, and I choose the one without traffic congestion. Once driving, it gives a turn reminder 500 meters in advance, accompanied by a ding sound. I often use the nearby search feature to find restaurants, especially fast food places when the kids are hungry. The volume needs to be turned up so I can hear the prompts clearly even with the noise from the back seat. Before weekend road trips, I update the maps to avoid missing new scenic spots. While parked and waiting, I can also check the altitude changes along the entire route, which is quite interesting.

I use it for my daily commute: after starting the engine, press the voice button on the steering wheel and say 'navigate to the office,' and the system starts instantly. If you've saved the address, simply tap the favorites icon for even quicker access. I prefer having real-time traffic displayed, which automatically reroutes around red sections. The estimated arrival time is shown at the bottom of the screen, accurate to the minute. At complex intersections, the display zooms in for clearer guidance than phone navigation. It's especially handy when your phone runs out of battery, as the car's system keeps it powered. Note that voice recognition works best in quiet environments; it often makes mistakes in underground parking garages.
