Tips for name entry

Database characteristics
When entering names for a city, road or special facilities the system compares
the character sequence already entered with that of the database on the map
CD.
If you have already entered one character you will note, that only certain
letters are still selectable. The navigation system automatically fills in the
missing characters if there is only one possible entry left.
Example: You already entered the sequence "OAK" when specifying the city
name. Now you can only select between "R" and "D". If you select the "R" the
system automatically completes the sequence to "OAKRIDGE" and places the
cursor on "OK".
If the name of a city, road or special destination is not unique in the data base,
the navigation system shows a list of all entries with this name distinguished by
additional information.
If for example the road name you entered exists several times in the specified
city, a list of all village names is presented where these roads are situated.
Different ways of data entry
When entering city or road names with more than one word the database
allows you to start your entry with any part of the name.
If for example you want to enter "MARKET RASEN" you can start data entry
with either "MARKET" or "RASEN".
Entering special characters
On the "typewriter" you have access to different country specific characters
depending on the language you selected.
