by entering its postcode.
When narrowing down the destination address, please note that every entry

A keyword is a word or a combination of digits and letters that occurs in the
name or the detailed information of the desired point of interest.
A keyword may be the known part of a name, e.g. “Lakeside”.
Starting from the search area centre, the unit searches for points of interest
which contain the keyword in their name or address. Possible results for the
keyword “Lakeside” would be, for example, “Lakeside Hotel” or points of in-
terest on “Lakeside” Avenue.
The POI search input window allows free text input ⇒ page 48. Correct spell-
ing is therefore important.
Starting the search
● When you have entered the keyword, press the Find
function button.
● The search radius is displayed and gradually enlarged. When several
matching points of interest are found, the display switches straight to the
list view.
The search ends automatically when it has covered a radius of roughly 100
kilometres from the defined search area centre.
A message appears to inform the user if no matching point of interest was
found.
To stop the search for a Point of Interest, press the Cancel
function button.
