Honda Pilot 2012 GPS Overview

Quick look at how I use my in dash unit, this is the newest unit Honda makes, I think they updated it mid 2011.

It shows a diagram of the vehicle and the pressures of each tire, very cool; very Honda

Doggorunning, thank you for your honest and "oh-so-true" review of the 2012 Honda Pilot navigation system. I couldn't agree more with you regarding the complexity of use. Personally, too many options/settings to dink around with. I will stick with my Garmin Nuvi 2555LMT with a 4.3" screen. The Nuvi is much faster, overall layout of pertinent icons are positioned perfectly, and ease of use far outweigh messing around with Honda's GPS. What I HATE are Honda's verbal directions which do NOT give any advance warning of exits, lane changes, etc., until you're right on top of the turn/exit or you've already driven past your turn/exit. My Nuvi fits right into the Honda Navigation panel. My eyes don't have to dart all over to find the specifics I'm looking for. I love my Honda Pilot Touring, however, we're not all rocket scientists and I, like you, do not have time to find, access, choose, program, set and save every individual option. Brain Overload!

I make money doing this, a video takes about 1 hour of my time to make and produces revenue every month, We live in a great country for those willing to work for it

Thanks for the posting. Great insite on the GPS. Visuals look a little dated still, but in the end, it does the job, and some. In the end, I'm going to do with the EX-L. Up here in canada, it's a $5,700+ jump between the EX-L and Touring. Key upgrades being the Navi, dvd system and parking sensors, that extra cash can easily pay for a top of the line gps unit and a tablet for entertainment. Anyway,thanks again for the other postings. I feel great about my decision. btw., you've been subscribed!

[@le10017]

from my experience, it did show me which of the 4 tires.

[@MrLineskinner]

Great videos!! As far as the tire pressure monitor, does it tell you which tire is low or does it just have the low tire warning? Thanks in advance!

[@Baasicstuff]

I like the 4wd other than that I could live without everything else Steros nice ")

Why does the Honda Pilot gps look like this?how is this possible.

[@YashasPradeep]

My pilot is exactly like yours.

[@tabellocallaoya1399]

where is the location of the map dvd drive to update map version?

[@Baasicstuff]

Think it uses a thumb drive in the center console armrest. I use my phone, sorry

[@tabellocallaoya1399]

@@Baasicstuff just figured out lol for 2012 to 2015 ex-l version uses the cd slot on the stereo with a password

Nice review. does it show traffic congestion?

[@Baasicstuff]

no, if it does its a service, like my Ford? I use my phone cause that has the best traffic congestion and recomendos. Real hard to beat the iPhone

[@AMindInOverdrive]

@@Baasicstuff Yes I use my phone now too.

[@Baasicstuff]

No car system seems reliable so I would never review a GPS, my Ford system sometime surprises me and shows even weather, Honda does strange things also; serve based stuff yuck! What makes this Honda great and my Ford Focus is I have hard buttons for everything. The screen is just to look pretty; hard buttons are great and preferred by most .

[@AMindInOverdrive]

@@Baasicstuff I was thinking of getting an android-based touch-screen system on Amazon and retro-fitting my 2016 Tucson. That one has google maps (same as phone but larger screen)

[@Baasicstuff]

@@AMindInOverdrive sounds cool, but everything is outdated so fast. So when holograms come out then what buddy? lol

[@chickennuggetsareyum3966]

why is it exactly the same as the Acura MDX 2007-2013

[@Baasicstuff]

Is it? Thats cool, when I was over seas, the luxury brands are really not a thing and or produced. Their Honda Accord in Korea and Japan is like our Acura here in the USA. They trim them out differently and have some other options that Americans would not find useful

How did you get it to commit to Virginia ???

[@stevekraus9849]

I guess for instance, sometime I look for a specific place here in phoenix and it shows 3 of the same in other states. I noticed your screen showed Virginia.
