2. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD (up/down) to select 'V' as the ﬁ rst character, then use the ROCKER

KEYPAD (right) to select the next character ﬁ eld.

3. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD (up/down) to select the 'A' as the second character, then use the

ROCKER KEYPAD (right) to select the next character ﬁ eld.

4. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD (up/down) to select the 'S' as the third character, then use the ROCKER

KEYPAD (right) to select the next character ﬁ eld. As you scroll through the alphabet to select 'S',

notice how the 'A' character in the preceding step changes from 'A' to an 'A' with diacritical marks,

then back to 'A' again.

5. Continue entering the next three characters 'T', 'E' and 'R' using the ROCKER KEYPAD in the

same manner.

6. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD (up/down) to select 'Å' as the seventh character. Notice that the

diacritic letter appears ﬁ rst, not 'A', because 'VÄSTERÅS' is the only matching entry remaining in

the city database.

7. Try this same exercise with København, Denmark; Logroño, Spain; or Genève, Switzerland.

For other special characters, try searching for the following cities: Þórshöfn, Iceland (will appear in

your StreetPilot III exactly as shown here, but upper case); Bragança, Portugal (also appears as shown

here); or Meißen, Germany (appears as "MEISSEN" in your StreetPilot III).

If you wish to save a city/POI as a waypoint, the StreetPilot III will assign a waypoint name to

this location. Keep in mind that, although diacritical marks appear when using the FIND key, they

are not supported in most other StreetPilot III functions. Therefore, Västerås, Sweden will appear as

"VASTERAS" when saved as a waypoint.

To save a city or point of interest as a waypoint:

1. Follow steps 1 through 6 above to select the desired city or point of interest (POI).

2. With the desired city or POI displayed, press ENTER to move the cursor to the list and (with the

desired city or POI highlighted) press ENTER again to display a waypoint information screen.

3. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to select the on-screen 'Save as Waypoint' button and press ENTER.
