taking the road type into account, e.g. whether

Wordmatch principle
The system relies on a wordmatch principle to
make it easier for you to enter the names of
towns or streets. 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 bene-
fits 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.
>When you are entering the names of cities
and streets, the system will complete them
automatically as soon as enough letters are
available to ensure unambiguous identifica-
tion.Example:
If you want to drive to Iowa Ave NW in
Washington, D.C., by the time "o" is
entered, the system has already identified
the street name and displayed it in the lower
half of the Control Display.
>The system only gives you the option of
entering letters for names that are stored on
the navigation DVD. It is therefore impossi-
ble to enter incorrect names or to enter
address data that are not included on the
DVD.
