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 87.
Selecting the Province or StateThe province you are in is displayed at
the top of the screen. If your desired
destination is in another province, select
Change State.
The display then changes to the Enter
state/province name screen. Use the
voice control system and say the name
of the province or use the on-screen
keyboard to enter the name of the
province.
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 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
Enter city name screen. Say the city
name by saying individual letters, or
words that represent the letters, one at a
time.

Navigation System
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 page 15 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 keyboard to enter the
name of the city.
The system will display a list of city
names, with the closest match to the

Select the number (1-6) of the desired
city from the list.If the system does not find an exact
match, select List when you finish
entering the name of the city. Most of
the cities and towns for that province are
listed.
Listings of cities and towns in the non-
detailed coverage area may have an
asterisk “*” next to their names. If you
select one, a pop-up box is displayed
saying, “No detailed street data…”, and
a street address cannot be entered (see
Map Coverage on page 107). Try
entering the street first, and then select
the city if available.
