How to Use Navigation on Honda Vezel's Central Control Screen?

[RobertAnn]

First, turn on the device and tap on the navigation option (usually touchscreen-enabled for direct selection). After the navigation system starts up, tap on the search function, which will lead you to a selection interface or open an input panel. Next, input the destination address. You can make selections through the list, choosing province, city, and county step by step. Finally, after making your selection, enter the map where you will see an icon with two small flags. Tap to set it as your destination.

I've been driving the Vezel for three years and am quite familiar with the navigation system. First, press the 'HOME' button below the center console screen to return to the main interface, then find and tap the blue arrow navigation icon. The first time you use it, you'll need to agree to the privacy terms—just click confirm. When entering an address, you can use the first letters of pinyin. For example, typing 'BJZ' will bring up 'Beijing Station'. After selecting your destination, don't rush to hit start; first, check the several routes recommended by the system. I usually choose the one that avoids traffic congestion—it might be a bit longer but saves time. If you want to change the route during your trip, just say 'Hello Honda, change route'—no need to touch the screen. Oh, and remember to regularly connect to your phone's hotspot to update the map package, otherwise, newly built roads might lead to incorrect directions.

I work in sales and often drive to meet clients, using the Vezel's navigation system daily. The most convenient feature is smartphone connectivity. By connecting with a data cable for CarPlay, the central display directly shows Apple Maps. For Android phones, Baidu CarLife also works; just enable USB debugging mode in the settings. If using the built-in navigation, remember to save frequently used addresses. For example, I set my company as a 'Starred Location' for quick selection next time. At red lights, I preset the navigation to avoid operating the screen while driving. At complex intersections, the central display automatically zooms in with a real-time junction view, which is quite thoughtful. On highways, there's also a speed limit reminder—the icon turns red and flashes when exceeding the speed limit.

As a girl, the biggest fear while driving is getting lost, but luckily the Vezel's navigation is simple. Press the voice button on the right side of the steering wheel and just say 'Navigate to Wanda Plaza,' and the system will automatically search for the location. After confirming, select 'Start Navigation' and just follow the blue arrow. If you need to charge or find a restroom along the way, tap the magnifying glass icon at the bottom right of the screen and search for 'charging stations' to see nearby options. I prefer to turn up the navigation volume, which can be adjusted in the 'Voice Guidance' settings. If you find the map colors too dark, you can change the interface to pink in the 'Display Settings.' A reminder: the system defaults to avoiding toll roads, so if you don't mind the toll fees, remember to uncheck this option in the route preferences.

Having played with cars for over a decade, here's a little-known fact about the Vezel's navigation. The new models actually support AR real-world navigation, but you need to upgrade the infotainment system at the dealership first. After the update, just enable 'AR Assistance' in the navigation settings - at red lights, point the camera at the road and arrows will automatically appear. Don't foolishly use your phone hotspot for map updates; downloading the map package to a USB drive and plugging it into the glovebox USB port makes for much faster upgrades. If you encounter GPS drift, just hold the volume knob for 10 seconds to reboot the system. Before long trips, I always download offline maps for provinces along the route in the infotainment system so navigation keeps working without signal. Oh, and the navigation in higher trim models can project onto the instrument cluster, so you don't have to keep looking at the center screen while driving.

After buying the base model Vezel, I realized it didn't come with built-in navigation. Later, I figured out an alternative solution. I connected the car's system to my phone's hotspot, then downloaded the AutoNavi car version from the central control app store. Once installed, the interface is almost identical to the mobile navigation app, and it can even sync favorite addresses. The steps are simple: press the menu key to enter the app list, find the map icon, and click to open. It supports handwriting input for searches, and can recognize even messy writing. If you find connecting troublesome, you can just keep the phone hotspot on permanently. Monthly data usage is less than 1GB, saving thousands compared to upgrading the factory navigation. If you want to change destinations while driving, a three-finger swipe brings you back to the main interface for operations—pretty convenient.
