Word matching principle
The system supports the word matching princi-
ple to make it easier for you to enter the names
of streets or towns/cities. The system runs
ongoing checks, comparing your destination
entries with the data stored on the navigation
DVD as the basis for instant response. The user
benefits include:
>Names of specific locations can also vary
from the official versions provided that the
spelling of the entry corresponds to a stan-
dard form used in another country.
Example:
Instead of 'München", you can also enter
the English spelling 'Munich' or the Italian
spelling 'Monaco'.
>When you are entering the names of towns/
cities and streets the system will complete
them automatically as soon as enough let-
ters are available to ensure unambiguous
identification.>The system only accepts name entries
beginning with letters that are stored on the
navigation DVD. The system will not accept
nonexistent names and addresses.
