changes to:
There are three ways to find a place or 
point of interest (POI), by Category, 
Name, or Phone Number.Let’s assume you want to find a coffee 
shop (restaurant) called “Bucks.”
• If you know the phone number of the 
coffee shop, select Phone Number, 
then enter the 10-digit number with 
area code. This is the quickest way to 
find it.
•
The second best method is to select Category
, Restaurant
, and 
CAFÉ/
COFFEE SHOP
. After you select 
Place Name by Keyword and 
search method, enter the keyword 
“Bucks.” The list will include all 
restaurants that have the letters 
“bucks” anywhere in the name.
• You can try to enter “Bucks” using 
Name, but you may have to search 
through a list that might include 
Bucks Welding, Bucks Surplus, etc.NOTE: 
• Prior to departure, you can set areas 
to avoid. The system then includes 
them in its calculations for the 
destination you have entered. See 
Edit Avoid Area on page 87.
• You can enter the desired destination 
using the voice control system. For 
information on the available voice 
commands, see Voice Command

Finding the Place by Phone 
NumberThe Phone Number option allows 
you to select a destination by its 
telephone number. Only telephone 
numbers stored in the system under the 
Places (of business) option are 
recognized. The system does not contain 
residential telephone numbers, or 
numbers you may have entered in your 
personal Address Book.
Tip:
If you know the phone number of a point 
of interest (POI), its uniqueness makes it 
the fastest entry method. When using the 
voice control system, the entry should be 
spoken as a continuous string of 
numbers. For example, the telephone 
number (310) 555-4000 should be 
spoken as “Three, one, zero, five, five, 
five, four, zero, zero, zero.”
