Finding the Place by Phone
Number

telephone number. Only telephone
numbers stored in the system under the
Places (of business) option are
recognized. The system does not contain

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.”
