There are four ways to find a place or
point of interest (POI), by Category,
Name , Phone Number, or ZAGAT

Let’s assume you want to find a coffee
shop (restaurant) called “Bucks.”
 If you know the phone number of the coffee shop, select Phone Number,
then enter the 10-d igit number with
area code. This is the quickest way to
find it.  The second best me
thod is to select
Category , then Restaurant , and
enter the keyword “Bucks.” The list
will include all restaurants that have
the letters “bucks” anywhere in the
name.
 You can try to enter “Bucks” using Name , but you may have to search
through a list that might include
Bucks Welding, Bucks Surplus, etc.
NOTE:
 Prior to departure, you can set areas to avoid. The system then includes
them in its calculations for the
destination you have entered. See

Tip:
