By AddressAfter 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 page 88.
Selecting the State or ProvinceThe 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-screen keyboard to
enter the name of the state.
Selecting the CityThis 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 an other 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.
