Navigation System23
By Address
After you select Address from the
Enter destination by screen, the
display changes to:
Tip:
 When entering an address by voice, it is more efficient to say the city name
first, then the street name.
 When entering an address by touch, it is usually easier to enter the street
first. A city or cities that the street
appears in will be displayed. For
your convenience, you do not have to
enter both city and street. NOTE:
 If you find that your city is not listed,
it may be part of a larger
metropolitan area. Try entering the
street first.
 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.
Selecting the State or Province
The state you are in is displayed at the
top of the screen. If your desired
destination is in another state, select
Change State.
The display then changes to the Enter
state name screen. Use the voice
control system and say the name of the
state or use the on-s creen keyboard to
enter the name of the state.
Selecting the City
This is helpful if the street runs through
several cities, and you know what city
includes the street. The city you are in is
displayed on the screen. If the city you
want is displayed on the screen, say
“Select current city.” If your desired
destination is in another city, say or
enter that city.
By Voice Control:
Say “City” on the Find address by
screen, and the display changes to the
Say city name screen. Say the city
name and the searching will begin.
NOTE:
To improve voice recognition when
saying the city name, pronounce the
syllables as clearly as possible.

2009 Ridgeline

24Navigation System
To enter the city name by voice spelling,
say or select CHANGE TO Spell
Mode on the Say city name screen,
and the display will change to the Enter
city name screen. Say the city name by
saying individual letters, or words that
represent the letters, one at a time. The system has a talk back function. If
your spoken letter is
not recognized, the
system will talk back to you. For
example, if you say “E” but the system
does not recognize the command, it will
ask you, “Please select the number of
the input letter from the list,” and the
following pop-up box will appear:
You should select a letter by saying the
number.
Alternatively, to improve voice
recognition, you can say “Echo” or
“Edward” instead of “E.”
See page15 for a list of available words
for each letter.By Touch Control:
Select City, and the display then
changes to the Enter city name screen.
Use the on-screen keyb oard to enter the
name of the city.
The system will display a list of city
names, with the closest match to the
name you entered at the top of the list.
Select the number (1-6) of the desired
city from the list.
