Using input masks
Overview
Input
masks are used
to
select an address or enter a
name
or numbers.
There are two kinds of
input
masks.
The
input
masks
used to
search
for
and call
up information
in the unit
(e.g
"select" an address)
and
input
masks where
"free
text"
can be entered.
Input
masks
appear
in
a
wide range
of
menus
but their
operation is almost
identical.
The high-
lighting colour
of
the available
function
keys
de-
pends on which menu
the input mask
was called
up from.
Input masks for selecting a saved entry
These input
masks
can
be found
in the naviga-
tion for
selecting a
target
address
[rom
the
avail-
able
navigation
data. Each entry
limits the selec-
tion
of available
entries
further => page
62,
"Input
windows
for
navigation"
or =>
page
114,
"Searching
for
an
en
try in the telephone
book,,7).
Input masks for "free text input"
Free text
entry
allows
any
letter,
number,
and
special
character
to be entered
in any combina-
tion at
any
time.
All special characters are always
available
for
each
letter.
Touching
the (QK) func-
tion
key will apply
the
character sequence as
it
appears in
the input line.
You can accept
a name
offered
by
the
unit
or
allocate
your own
name.
Selecting special characters based on letters
In
input
masks,
a
number
of
letters
are also
marked with a
small
tTiangle
"
T
".
This
indicates
that
s
pecial
characters
based
on
this letter can
be
selected.
Keep
the
function
key pressed
until a
pop-up
window
appears
with the
special character. Ac-
cept
the desired
character by
touching
the input
line
- the pop-up window will be closed.
If no
entries are
made,
the
pop-up window is closed
automatically after a
few
seconds.
Some
special
characters can also be "written
out".
Thus,
instead of the
German special
char-
acters
"A",
"0",
and "0", the
sequence
of charac-
ters
"AE",
"UE",
and
"OE"
are recognised
by the
navigation
system.
Other
special characters can
be
ignored,
e.g. instead of
"E",
"E",
or
"E",
a
normal
"E"
is
recognised
by
the navigation
system.
