display changes to:
Address (see page24)
This selection requires you to enter the
city (and possibly the state) and the
address that you want to go to.
Intersection (see page28)
This selection allows you to enter the
names of two intersecting streets in a
city. This is useful if you know the
general location of your destination, but
not the exact address. Places
(see page33)
The system has been programmed with
the locations of many businesses, parks,
hospitals, etc. This selection lets you
search these by category, name, or
phone number, or Zagat 2008 (for
restaurants).
Map Input (see page39)
This selection allows you to point to a
destination on th e map using the
joystick. This allows you to enter a
destination or address that may not be
listed in the database.
Previous Destinations (see page42)
When you enter a destination with any
of the available se lections (except
Address Book and Go Home ), the
last 50 destinations are saved by the
system. Use this selection to choose a
destination again.
NOTE:
If Previous Destinations is grayed
out, there are no Previous Destinations
entered. Today’s Destinations
(see page43)
You can enter and sort up to five
destinations and store them in the
Today’s Destinations list. You can then
use the Today’s Destination selection.
NOTE:
If Today’s Destinations is grayed
out, there are no Today’s Destinations

By Places
After you select Places from the Enter
destination by screen, the display
changes to:
There are four ways to find a place or
point of interest (POI), by Category,
Name , Phone Number , or ZAGAT
2008 .
Let’s assume you want to find a coffee
shop (restaurant) called “Bucks.”
If you know the phone number of the coffee shop, select Phone Number,
then enter the 10-d igit number with
area code. This is the quickest way to
find it. The second best me
thod is to select
Category , Restaurant, and type of
food. After you select Place Name
by Keyword and search method,
enter the keyword “Bucks.” The list
will include all restaurants that have
the letters “bucks” anywhere in the
name.
You can try to enter “Bucks” using Name, but you may have to search
through a list that might include
Bucks Welding, Bucks Surplus, etc.
NOTE:
Prior to departure, you can set areas to avoid. The system then includes
them in its calculations for the
destination you have entered. See
Edit Avoid Area on page90.
You can enter the desired destination using the voice control system. For
information on the available voice
commands, see Voice Command
Index on page136.
Finding the Place by Category
The Category option gives you a list of
categories or types of businesses to
select from with the following screen:
Tip:
If you are not sure of the spelling of a
place, the best way to find it is to use the
keyword search. Select Category,
choose a category and subcategory
from the menus, then select Place
Name by Keyword , and enter the
partial name.

Finding the Place by Phone
Number
The Phone Number option allows
you to select a destination by its
telephone number. Only telephone
numbers stored in the system under the
Places (of business) option are
recognized. The system does not contain
residential telephone numbers, or
numbers you may have entered in your
personal Address Book.
Tip:
If you know the phone number of a point
of interest (POI), its uniqueness makes it
the fastest entry meth od. When using the
voice control system, the entry should be
spoken as a continuous string of
numbers. For example, the telephone
number (310) 555-4000 should be
spoken as “Three, one, zero, five, five,
five, four, zero, zero, zero.”
Finding the Place by Zagat 2008
The ZAGAT 2008 option allows you to
find a restaurant by the Zagat Rating
information. The syst em lets you select
the metro area, neighborhood, and food
type to search the restaurant you like.
After you select the food type, the
following display appears:
Name - When you select Name, the
restaurants will be listed in alphabetical
order.
Food, Decor, Service - When you
select Food, Decor , or Service, the
restaurant will be listed by rating value. Cost -
When you select Cost, the
restaurant will be listed by the average
cost of a meal (including drink and tip).
When you select a sorting method, the
list of restaurants will appear.
Once you select a restaurant, the system
then displays the Calculate route to
screen ( see Driving to Your Destination
on page47).
NOTE:
Not every type of food is listed in each metro area or neighborhood. Only
types of foods that are available in
those areas will be listed.
See Key to Zagat Ratings on page75
for details on the key to ratings.

Viewing/Saving the Current
Location
Whenever you are on a map screen, you
can always obtain your current location
either by touching the Vehicle Position
icon or by using the voice control
system and saying “Display current
location.” A screen pops up which
shows the address of your current
location, as well as the latitude,
longitude, and elevation. NOTE:
The elevation will not appear when the
system is temporarily lacking proper
GPS information. The system elevation
may not agree with elevations shown on
roadside elevation signs, and may
fluctuate plus or minus 100 feet or more.
You can store the current location for
later use. It does not change or cancel
your current route.
For example, you
are following the
system’s directions to get to a
destination. While sitting at a stoplight
you notice a store on the corner, but do
not have time to visit it right now. You
can save the location to select as a
destination at a later date. To save the location, say “Save current
location” or select
Save on the screen.
When you select “User 1” or “User 2,”
the Edit address book screen with the
current location data will appear. You
can edit the name, phone number, or
category name to be saved in your
personal Address Book.
After the location is saved, select
Return to return to the map screen.
You can then use Address Book from
the Enter destination by screen to
select the saved location and return to
the same spot.
