Entering quick address

When you are entering the name of a city or a street, Navigation only displays those characters that appear in possible search results. The other characters are grayed out.

To enter a city or street name, enter a few letters and then touch [Done]. Navigation will display a list including the entered letters.

You can speed up finding an intersection.

Search for the rare or less common name first. A few letters should be sufficient.

If one of the streets is shorter, search for that one first. You can then find the second one faster.

You can search using both the type and the name of the roads. If the same word appears in several names, for example in the name of streets, roads and avenues, you can obtain the result faster if you enter the first letter of the street type. For example, enter Pi A to obtain Pine Avenue and skip all Pine Streets and Pickwick Roads.

You can also search in ZIP codes. This is useful when a street name is common and it is used in several districts of a city.
