Spelling the destination
To enter a destination, spell it in the manner in
which it is spelled in the destination country.
Say the letters fluently and at normal volume,
and avoid unnatural emphases and pauses.
1. Spell the name of the town or city:
Say at least the first three letters of the
town or city. The more letters you say,
the more precisely the system will rec-
ognise the town or city.
The system can propose up to
20 destinations that match your entries. Up
to 6 entries are displayed at a time on the
control display.
The system suggests a town or city.
2. Select town or city:
> Select chosen town/city: {Yes}
> Select other town/city: {No}
> Select an entry, e.g. {Entry 3}
> To show other entries on the list:
{Next page}
> Spell the town/city again: {Repeat}
The town or city can also be selected from the
list via iDrive:
Turn the controller until the destination is
selected and press the controller.
Entering the destination as an entire
word*
Towns/cities and streets in the same language
of the voice input system can be spoken as
whole words.
Example: to enter a town/city within Germany as
an entire word, the language of the system
must be German.
