Navigational Avoidances on a Honda Navigation System

Honda Navigation Systems with Garmin navigation have an Avoidance menu where you can select various options that will adjust how your device routes you. Items with a check mark beside them will be avoided whenever possible.

To Locate the Avoidance Menu:

1. Touch Navigation to access the navigation menus

2. Touch Settings

• • Touch the Map Tools button (3 dots) on the driving map screen first on some devices

3. Touch Navigation 

4. Touch Avoidances

5. Touch the desired Avoidance to enable it

Repeat the steps above to disable the checked Avoidance. 

Available Avoidances:

• U-Turns – Avoids calculating routes that require a U-turn 

• Highways  – Avoids highways, interstates, freeways, motorways, and other major routes 

• Tolls and Fees – Avoids toll roads and certain specified congestion zones 

• Ferries – Avoids routes that require a ferry crossing 

• Carpool Lanes  – Avoids lanes designated specifically for carpooling 

• Unpaved Roads – avoids unpaved roads (gravel, dirt, etc.)

• Custom Avoidances – Feature available on some models that will allow you to select specific areas or lengths of road to avoid

Note that devices will only avoid selected items when it is possible. For example, if you have U-Turns selected as an avoidance the device may still direct you to make a U-Turn if an alternate route is not available.
