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 page16
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.

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, five, two,

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

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

might appear in more
than one city. The
