The system's word-matching principle makes it
easier for you to enter the names of towns or

paring your destination entries with the data
stored in the vehicle as the basis for instant
response. The benefits for you include:
> Names of towns entered may differ from the
official versions if you are using a spelling
that is customary in another country.
Example:
Instead of the German spelling "München"
you can also enter the English spelling
"Munich" or the Italian spelling "Monaco".
