Finding the Place by Name
The Name option allows you to enter
the name of a business, and then shows
you a list of businesses with the same or
similar names to select from. Use the
name option only if you know the exact
spelling of the place. If unsure, use the
Category option.
Finding the Place by Phone
Number
The 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.”
Finding the Place by Zagat 2007
The ZAGAT 2007 option allows you to
find a restaurant by the Zagat Rating
information.
The system lets you select several items
(such as metro area, region, and
neighborhood) to sear ch the restaurant
you like. When you select a type of
food, the following display appears:
Name - When you select Name, the
restaurants will be listed by alphabetical
order.
Food, Decor, Service - When you
select Food, Decor , or Service , the
restaurant will be li sted by rating value.
Cost - When you select Cost, the
restaurant will be listed by the average
cost of a meal (including drink and tip).

it may be part of a larger

following pop-up box will appear:
You should select a letter by saying the
