The latest Honda GPS updates are now available to purchase online for 2012 and come as a DVD format ready to load straight into your car.  Many Hondas come with GPS navigation devices as standard, and the new DVD will work on all of them.  It includes turn-by-turn directions and also helpfully provides a points-of-interest (POI) database which comes with locations such as parks, restaurants, gas stations and hotels.

The latest map updates for Honda navigation devices allow drivers to view the most current information about streets and highways. These updates must first be purchased on DVD from the Honda navigation store.  You will then have to install them yourself into the car – which is a relatively easy process as outlined below – read on about how to update with the Honda Navigation DVD 2012 in some simple steps.

Buy the New GPS Update DVD Online

Visit the Honda Navigation Center website.  Once on here you will need to choose your Honda vehicle model and year from the menus on the left. This will then present the purchase options you can use – most come in at a reasonable sub $150 US Dollars price point.

After that click the add to cart button and then checkout to complete the purchase.  You will need to enter your postage and address details as this is a DVD update rather than a software download. 

Installing the Honda Navigation DVD for 2012

Once you have received the new DVD and latest Honda GPS updates you will need to start up your car and turn on the factory installed GPS device.  Once the DVD has loaded – and this usually takes around 20 minutes, all the new routes and directions will be ready to use.
