Hi All
First I want to say that this forums and postings have been helpful in the recent purchase of the 2014 TE. I always go to the most knowledgeable place, which seem to be the forums, when purchasing a car now.
unfortunately, I let my wife do the test drives for the minivans we were comparing (I only drive it on family outings or trips). I didn't get a chance to mess around with the nav system. I was unaware that the Odyssey has only scroll wheel or voice data entry, both laborious, as opposed to keyboard entry on the touch screen when entering destinations. I wrongly assumed that the keyboard was available like I have seen in other Honda Gen 1 my link vehicles such as the accord or the 2014 Acura MDX, which I test drove.
I guess I am looking for verification that this lack of a keyboard is the case and not some software glitch. I also wonder why the ability to send an address is not available, Like in the Acura. I suppose it may be with an update. I guess that may include SIRI eyes free too.
I generally like the vehicle, but the little things like the data entry, lack of posted speed limit on the nav, lack of compass (or at least I can't get one to work) and the TPMS problem with snow tires are a little frustrating in a $40000 car.
