This selection requires you to enter the city (and possibly the state) and the address that you want to go to.

The system has been programmed with the locations of many businesses, parks, hospitals, etc. This selection lets you search these by category, name, or phone number.
Map Input (see page 36)

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 page 87.
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 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 saying the city name, pronounce the syllables as clearly as possible.
Entering a Destination
Page 24 of 152

Navigation System23
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 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 name you entered at the top of the list. Select the number (1-6) of the desired city from the list.
