that the street appears in will be
displayed. For your convenience, you

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 17 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 (e.g.,
ELM or 42ND) that is your destination.
When entering the names of major
freeways, it is possible to use the
following abbreviations. For interstates,
use an “I” (I-10). For U.S. freeways,
use “US” (US-18). For state freeways,
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
control system and say the address
number as a continuous string of
numbers. For example, the address 1527
should be spoken as “One, fi ve, two,
seven.” You can also use the Interface
Dial to enter the street number.
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.

(POI) or road in an unverifi ed area, you
may or may not have routing in these
areas. See Map Overview on page 6 . By Address Book
This selection allows you to choose a
