Special Character List
The following characters have
special characters beneath them:
Character Handwriting
Recognition
Character handwriting recognition is
offered as an alternative to using a
keyboard. This character input
method allows the drawing out of
characters instead of picking them
out from the keyboard. Character
handwriting recognition has two
main modes, Upper Case and
Mixed Case. The Upper case mode
is used for Destination Entry while
Mixed Case is used for all othercharacter entry modes. This feature
is available by pressing the globe
button from the keyboard screen.
The Handwriting Recognition screen
is split into different zones:
.Drawing Pad
.Prioritized Guess List
.Character Entry
.Drawing Pad:
This is the area
to draw a character. Draw a
character in the display area.
When the first character is
complete, a representation of
that character can be seen, and
there is an audible response.
If the character is correct, the
next character can be started
immediately.
‐ To delete the last entered
character, draw a line from left
to right across the character
field. ‐
To create a space, draw a line
from right to left across the
character field.
.Prioritized Guess List: This
area displays a list of guesses
for the character drawn.
If character recognition displays
the incorrect character, look at
this list and see if the desired
character is available to select.
Scroll up or down the list, then
highlight the desired character.
Selecting a character from the
list will replace the incorrect
character with the desired
character. The character is
displayed in the character entry
section of the screen.
.Character Entry: This is the
area across the top of the
screen. This section can look
different depending on which
feature is being used.

Option Settings
This section is an area on the right
side of the Character Recognition
screen. This section will only look
different if the characters displayed
on the screen are in upper case or
mixed case.
.k(Draw Speed Setting):
Select from the touch screen.
The draw speed setting will
adjust the speed of the character
recognition feature. The settings

response to an action that has
occurred while using the
Character Recognition.
.ABC/abc (Character Set):
Select from the touch screen to
view the available character
sets. Select a character set to
change. Multiple character sets
may not be supported by some
regions. This button also
displays the sentence case of
upper or lower case characters
that are currently active in a
mixed case mode. If only one
character set is available for the
desired region, pressing the
character recognition will only
open and close the character
recognition window.
If mixed case character mode is
supported, the last buttons of
character recognition will be
upper and lower case. Address
.A destination can be searched
by typing out the address,
intersection, highway, or freeway
entrance ramps on the
keyboard. This information is
typed and displayed in the
information field. Press the
search icon to start the search.
For example:
Address:
100 Main Center
Crawford, State/Province (if
needed)
Road Name: Main Rd
Intersection: North Square
West Road Standish State/
Province
Freeway: N-94
.State information does not have
to be included in the search field
if entering an address that is
located in the same state.

.Whenever the keyboard view is
entered, the last text that was
typed, even if it was not
searched on, will display.
.A partial or complete address
can be typed in the search field.
If a partial address is typed, the
system attempts to use local
knowledge to fill in additional
information. For example, if no
city name or state are given, the
system assumes a search for
something in the current city or a
nearby city in the current state.
The system is also capable of
recognizing address formats
according to other regions.
If a destination address or location
being entered is outside of the
country, the country abbreviation
must be added after the address.
For example, if the current vehicle
location is in Detroit MI and the
destination is in Windsor, the correct
input would be Windsor ON CAN. Intersection:
If looking for an
intersection, type in the two street
names and optionally the city and
state/province of the intersection.
On-Ramp: If looking for the closest
on-ramp as a destination, enter a
highway name. The direction is not
required but can be specified. The
system will search for the closest
on-ramp.
Also available is the Exit-Ramp. For
example, N-94 Exit 42.
The keyboard may be able to
perform an autocomplete function.
Depending on the application,
autocomplete matches entries that
have been previously typed or are
stored in a Recent Destinations list.
1. After a character has been
typed, the system is able to start
displaying matches that begin
with that character. The matches
continually become more refined
as additional characters are
entered.
2. If there are multiple matches for what has been entered, the first
result alphabetically will be
shown.
When there are multiple
matches, a dropdown arrow is
shown after the autocomplete
text. This dropdown displays the
entire list of matches. Press the
appropriate match without
having to enter more text.

3. If autocomplete does not showthe results needed, press the
delete screen button to clear the
autocomplete from the entered
field.
If there are no matches, a
pop-up displays in response to
show how the system
understood the entered text and
attempts to show how the text
could be entered to help find the
destination.
Multiple Matches
.If the search results in multiple
matches, a list of matches is
shown.
.Address search results are
grouped by result type, in the
order of Full Addresses, States,
Cities, Intersections, and
Streets. If no results are found in
a particular group, that group is
not shown. If only one type of
result is found, the single type
result screen is shown. Within
each group, they are listed in
Confidence order. This means
that the closest match result will
be at the top.
.Address searches can be sorted
by Confidence, Distance,
or Alphabetical order.
Spelling Mistakes
The system is able to offer
alternatives if the searched term is
not found exactly. The system uses
the closest term it finds and
provides those results. The system first searches the
entered term exactly. If no matches
are found, partial words are used.
For example, when entering an
address, the system attempts to do
a full match on the entire string. If it
does not find a match, the house
number is then considered an
optional term and the system
attempts to find the street and city
name. The prefix and suffix of street
names are also treated as optional
terms. The search is first done by
trying to match the prefix and/or
suffix. If there is no match found,
these terms are removed from the
search to make the search more
generic.

Creating and Downloading
Predefined POIs (My POIs)
In addition to the POIs already
stored in the infotainment system,
predefined POIs can be created.
While creating a predefined POI, the
GPS coordinates for longitude and
latitude of the POI’s location and a
descriptive name will need to be
entered.
After creating the predefined POIs,
they can be downloaded to the
infotainment system from either a
USB stick or SD card.
Once downloaded, the POI data
becomes a selectable destination in
the My POIs menu.Creating a Text File with
Information
Create a text file by using a simple
text editor software. Save this file
with a name and extension of .csv,
for example,
“TomsPOI.csv.”
Enter the POI information into the
text file in the following format:
.Longitude coordinate, Latitude
coordinate, “Name of POI,”
“Additional information,” “Phone
number.”
Example: 7.0350000,
50.6318040, “Michaels Home,”
“123 Maple Lane,”
“02379234567.”
.The GPS coordinates must be
expressed in decimal degrees
and can be taken from a
geographical map. The
additional information and phone
number strings are optional.
.The POI name and the
additional information string may
not exceed 60 characters.
.POI information for each
destination address must be
entered in a single separate line.
Storing the POI on a USB Drive
In the root directory of a USB drive,
create a folder name “myPOIs”; for
example, “F:\”is the root directory of
the USB drive.
In the “myPOIs” folder, store the text
file with your POIs; for example,
“F:\myPOIs\TomsPOIs.csv.”
Downloading the POI to the
Infotainment System
Connect the USB drive or SD card
containing the POI information to
the USB port or SD card slot of the
infotainment system. A message
displays prompting whether or not to
download the POI information from
the USB stick. All POIs found are
saved even if they are in multiple
folders.
Subfolders can also be created to
organize the POIs into categories;
for example, “F:\myPOIs\
Restaurants\TomsPOIs.csv.”
