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 2008
The ZAGAT 2008 option allows you to
find a restaurant by the Zagat Rating
information. The syst em lets you select
the metro area, neighborhood, and food
type to search the restaurant you like.
After you select the food type, the
following display appears:
Name - When you select Name, the
restaurants will be listed in 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 listed 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 page46).
NOTE:
 Not every type of food is listed in each metro area or neighborhood. Only
types of foods that are available in
those areas will be listed.
