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 91.
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

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 another 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

keyboard to enter the name of the street
(like ELM or 42ND) that is your

To enter the name of a major highway,
you must use the full name, including a
hyphen. For interstates, use an “I” (I-

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 stre et, 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.

Entering the Street NumberAfter 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 on-screen
keyboard 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 on-screen keyboard, 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 47).
Tip:
If the particular address you want
cannot be found, select Map Input and
use the joystick to se lect 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
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
