If the system does not find an exact
match, select LIST when you finish
entering the name of the city. Most of
the cities and towns for that state are
listed.
Listings of cities and towns in the non-
detailed coverage area may have an
asterisk “*” next to their names. If you
select one, a pop-up box is displayed
saying, “No detailed street data...”, and
a street address cannot be entered (see
Map Coverage on page 128). Try
entering the street fi rst, and then select
the city if available.
Select View Dest. Map and use the
Interface Dial to select an icon,
approximate area, or street you wish to
choose as your destination. Otherwise, a

The system has a talk back function. If
your spoken letter is not recognized, the
system will talk back to you. For
example, if you say “E” but the system
does not recognize the command, it will
ask you, “Please select the number of
the input letter from the list,” and the
following pop-up box will appear:
You should select a letter by saying the
number.
Alternatively, to improve voice
recognition, you can say “Echo” or
“Edward” instead of “E.” See page 16
for a list of available words for each
letter.By Interface Dial:
After you have selected the city, or if
you selected Street in the beginning,
the display changes to the Enter street
name screen. Use the Interface Dial
to enter the name of the street (like ELM
or 42ND) that is your destination.
To enter the name of a major highway,
you must use the full name, including a
hyphen. For interstates, use an “I” (I-
10). For U.S. highways, use “US” (US-
18). For state highways, use the two
character state designation (CA-101).
For county roads, use the appropriate
designation (G-2, for example).
Tip:
When entering a street, you do not need
to enter the direction (N, S, E, W) or the
type (St, Ave, etc.). The system will
automatically determine that for you,
based on your entered city and street
number. The system will display a list of street
names, with the closest match to the
name you entered at the top of the list.
Select the number (1-6) of the desired
street from the list.

Entering the Street Number
After you have completed the street
name, the display changes to the Enter
street number screen. Use the voice

should be spoken as “One, five, two,
seven.” You can also use the Interface

Some address numbers may not be
available on the selected street. For
example, let’s say the individual address
ranges for a selected street name are 1 -
20 and 9,000 - 10,000, with an overall
range shown on the display of 1 to
10,000. If you try to enter a number
outside the individual address ranges
such as 500, the system will show this
number as unavailable (grayed out).
• When using the Interface Dial, the
system only allows you to choose
available address numbers.
• When using voice control, the system beeps if you try to select an
unavailable (grayed out) address
number. If you did not select a city in the
beginning, the street name you selected
might appear in more
than one city. The
system will give you a list of cities that
the street appears in . Select the desired
city from the list. The system then
displays the Calculate route to screen
(see Driving to Your Destination on

cannot be found, select Map Input on
the MENU screen ( Enter destination
by ) and use the Interface Dial to select
the appropriate location on the map
(see By Map Input on page 45).
Select View Dest. Map and use the
Interface Dial to select an icon,
approximate area, or street you wish to
choose as your destination. Otherwise, a
central location of the street will be
selected. If you select a point of interest
(POI) or road in an unverified area, you
may or may not have routing in these
areas. See Map Overview on page 6.
