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 meth od. 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 search 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 listed by rating value.
Cost - When you select Cost, the
restaurant will be lis ted by the average
cost of a meal (including drink and tip). When you select a sorting method, the
list of restaurants will appear.
Once you select a restaurant, the system
then displays the
Calculate route to
screen ( see Driving to Your Destination
on page42).
NOTE:
See Key to Zagat Ratings on page69 for
