Keyword search
Entering keywords The keyword search is used to help find
destinations using fragments of words. The
keyword search is tolerant of errors. It can be
used for an address or a POI. For example,
you can search for the Houses of Parliament
or Big Ben. The keyword search finds
geotolerant hits. If, for example, you are
searching for a street located on the edge of
a city, the search will also cover adjacent
smaller cities. The keyword search supports
languages using Latin characters.
