Free destination search

Entering keywords
The free destination search is used to help find
destinations using fragments of words. The des-
tination search is tolerant of errors.
It can be used for an address or a POI. For exam-
ple, you can search for the Empire State Building
in New York.
The free destination search finds geographically
tolerant hits. If, for example, you are searching
for a street located on the edge of a major city,
the search will also cover adjacent smaller cit-
ies.
