■Hints for quick address entry
•When entering a city/town name or a street name:-Only characters that can be displayed in the search results are shown on the
keyboard. Other characters are grayed out.
-While entering text, the most likely search result is always displayed in the
text entry field. If the search result is correct, touch to select it.
-If you touch (Results) after entering two characters, items that
contain those two characters are displayed in the list.
•You can find intersections easily by using the following method.-First, when searching for an uncommon road name, you only need to enter
the first few letters to acquire the name.
-When one street name is shorter than the other, the shorter one is searched
for first. This shortens the search time for the road with the longer name.
•You can search by road category as well as road name. When the
same word is included in names such as the street, road, and main
street, by entering the first character for the type of road, you can
quickly bring up the search results. For example, if you are searching
for “Pine Avenue” and you enter “Pi A”, roads such as “Pine Street” or
“Pickwick Road” are not displayed.
•You can also search by using the ZIP Code. If the ZIP Code only
contains a few characters, you can search more quickly than when
entering the city/town name.
Selecting the destination from your favorite
spots (POI: Point Of Interest)
You can select your destination from the favorite spots that have
already been saved in the software.
You can use the same screen to find a spot using the following various
