Honda Navigation Map Update
Honda vehicles with Garmin Navigation come with 5 years of map updates at no cost. These map updates are available roughly once per calendar year. Starting in 2015, Garmin began providing navigation in select Honda vehicles. We do not provide navigation for all models of Honda vehicles in all countries after 2015. On our website, you may see a Honda vehicle listed that does not use Garmin navigation in your country or region.
Contact your local Honda dealership for additional information on how to update if you are unsure if your vehicle has Garmin navigation.
NOTE: You cannot use the same map download for multiple Honda navigation systems. Doing this will result in a locked navigation device.
