Why Update Your Honda Navigation?
Keeping your Honda GPS navigation up-to-date ensures you get the latest routes, accurate directions, and updated points of interest. Updated navigation enhances convenience, safety, and fuel efficiency during your drives.
How Honda GPS Navigation Updates Work
Honda vehicles use Garmin or HondaLink navigation systems. Depending on the model, updates can be installed through a USB drive or downloaded directly via Wi-Fi for seamless integration of the latest maps and features.
Step-by-Step: Update Your Honda GPS Navigation
1. Go to the Honda Navigation Update.
2. Enter your VIN to check available updates.
3. Download the update package to your computer.
4. Copy it onto a USB drive (FAT32, at least 16 GB).
5. Insert the USB into your Honda vehicle’s USB port.
6. Follow the on-screen prompts to install the update.
7. For compatible models, connect to Wi-Fi and update directly in-vehicle.
Tips for a Smooth Update
- Keep your vehicle on or in accessory mode.
