After you have selected the city, or if
you say “Street” on the Find
intersection by screen, the display
changes to the Say street name screen.
Say the street name and the searching
will begin.
To enter the street name by voice
spelling, say or select CHANGE TO
Spell Mode on the Say street name
screen, and the disp lay will change to
the Enter street name screen. Say the street name by saying individual
letters or numbers, or words that
represent the letters, one at a time.
After you have completed the first
name, the display changes to the
Say
intersecting street screen. Say the
name of the other intersecting street. 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.”

for each letter.

After you have selected the city, or if
you select Street in the beginning, the
display changes to the Enter street
name screen. Use the on-screen
keyboard to enter one of the names (like
ELM or 42ND) of the intersecting
streets.
To enter the name of a major highway,
you must use the full name, including a
hyphen. For intersta tes, use an “I” (I-
10). For U.S. highways, use “US” (US-
18). For state highways, use the two

For county roads, use the appropriate
designation (G-2, for example).
Tip:
When entering a street, you do not need
to enter the direction (N, S, E, W) or the
type (St, Ave, etc.). The system will
automatically determine that for you. The system will display a list of street
names, with the closest match to the
name you entered at the top of the list.
Select the number (1-6) of the desired
street from the list.
After you have completed the first street
name, the display changes to the

intersection appears
in more than one city, you will see the
Select a city screen. The system will
give you a list of cities that the
intersection appears in. Select the
desired city from the list. If more than
one intersection appears in a city, select
the desired intersection from the Select
an intersection screen. The system
then displays the Calculate route to

on page 47).
Tip:
If the particular intersection you want
cannot be found, select Map Input and
use the joystick to select the appropriate
location on the map (see By Map Input
on page 38).
Select View Dest. Map and use the
joystick to select an icon, approximate

The Name option allows you to enter

similar names to select from. Use the
name option only if you know the exact
spelling of the place. If unsure, use the
Category option.
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 th e 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 method. 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.”
