Wordmatch principle
The system supports the wordmatch prin-
ciple to make it easier for you to enter the
names of streets or towns/cities. The sys-
tem runs ongoing checks, comparing your
destination entries with the data stored on
the navigation DVD as the basis for instant
response. The user benefits include:
>Names of specific locations can also
vary from the official versions provided
that the spelling of the entry corre-
sponds to a standard form used in
another country.
Example:
Instead of 'München', you can also
enter the English spelling 'Munich' or
the Italian spelling 'Monaco'
>When you are entering the names of
towns/cities and streets the system will
complete them automatically as soon
as enough letters are available to
ensure unambiguous identification
>The system only accepts name entries
beginning with letters that are stored on
the navigation DVD. The system will not
accept nonexistent names and
addresses.
