Notes on Entering Data

If you are having trouble getting the results
you expected, here are a few useful tips.
• Check for apostrophes and hyphens. If
you do not see the POI or street name you
are looking for in the list, check to see if
the name has an apostrophe or hyphen.
• The more characters you enter, the
smaller the list of possible options is from
which to choose.
• When entering a street or city name it is
not necessary to use accented letters. You
can enter city and streets names using
only standard characters.

QuickSpell

Another feature the N477 receiver uses to
make entering cities and streets easier is a
feature known as QuickSpell. As letters are
entered for a city or street the Quickspell
feature checks the database for cities or
streets that begin with the letters entered.
Any letters that could not be used to spell
a city or street name are greyed out. This
provides quick and error-free city and street
name entry.
(Entering City) Accepts
the suggested city that is
displayed in the data field.
(Entering street) Brings up a
list of streets beginning with
the characters entered.
