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 the Interface Dial , 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 105.
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 by moving the
Interface Dial down.
The display then changes to the Select
a state screen. Use the voice control
system and say the name of the state, or
rotate the Interface Dial knob to
select 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 a nother 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

Say the city name by saying individual
letters, or words that represent the

your spoken letter is

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

Alternatively, to improve voice
recognition, you can say “Echo” or
“Edward” instead of “E.” See page 16

the cities and towns for that state 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 128). Try
entering the street fi rst, and then select
the city if available.
Select View Dest. Map and use the
Interface Dial to select an icon,
approximate area, or street you wish to
choose as your destination. Otherwise, a
central location of the city will be
selected. If you select a point of interest
(POI) or road in an unverified area, you

After you have selected the city, or if

the display changes to the Enter street
name screen. Use the Interface Dial
to enter the name of the street (like ELM
or 42ND) that is your destination.
To enter the name of a major highway,
you must use the full name, including a
hyphen. For interstates, use an “I” (I-
10). For U.S. highways, use “US” (US-
18). For state highways, use the two
character state designation (CA-101).
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,
based on your entered city and street
number. 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.

Entering the Street Number
After you have completed the street
name, the display changes to the Enter
street number screen. Use the voice
control system and say the address
number as a continuous string of
numbers. For example, the address 1527
should be spoken as “One, five, two,
seven.” You can also use the Interface
Dial to enter the street number.
Some address numbers may not be
available on the selected street. For
example, let’s say the individual address
ranges for a selected street name are 1 -
20 and 9,000 - 10,000, with an overall
range shown on the display of 1 to
10,000. If you try to enter a number
outside the individual address ranges
such as 500, the system will show this
number as unavailable (grayed out).
• When using the Interface Dial, the
system only allows you to choose
available address numbers.
• When using voice control, the system beeps if you try to select an
unavailable (grayed out) address
number. If you did not select a city in the
beginning, the street name you selected
might appear in more
than one city. The
system will give you a list of cities that
the street appears in . Select the desired
city from the list. The system then
displays the Calculate route to screen
(see Driving to Your Destination on
page 51).
Tip:
If the particular address you want
cannot be found, select Map Input on
the MENU screen ( Enter destination
by ) and use the Interface Dial to select
the appropriate location on the map
(see By Map Input on page 45).
Select View Dest. Map and use the
Interface Dial to select an icon,
approximate area, or street you wish to
choose as your destination. Otherwise, a
central location of the street will be
selected. If you select a point of interest
(POI) or road in an unverified area, you
may or may not have routing in these
areas. See Map Overview on page 6.

If the PIN has not been entered, the
system displays the list after you select

Let’s assume you want to find a coffee
shop (restaurant) called “Bucks.”
If you know the phone number of the coffee shop, select Phone Number,
then enter the 10-digit number with
