To enter a destination, touch the ENTER DESTINATION button in the PLAN ROUTE menu.

This menu will let you plan a route by several methods. These methods are explained in the following pages.

Touch the right arrow (Next Page) button to see additional methods.

Address

This feature allows you to select a route by inputting an address (without a zip code) and to store it. You need to provide the system with a street number, street name and a city.

Press the ROUTE hard key.
Touch ENTER DESTINATION.
Touch the ADDRESS button.

Enter the name of a street by touching the alphabet key pad. There may be many streets within the map database with the same name. Therefore, you may have difficulty selecting the correct street name from the list given. If this occurs you may enter the city name first. To enter the city name touch the CITY button on the ADDRESS menu. Enter the name of the city by touching the alphabet key pad. Select the desired city name. After you have selected the city name the system will prompt you to enter the name of the street or will give you a list of street names to choose from.

If you touch a wrong character, use the left arrow to back up a character, or touch and hold the left arrow to delete all of the characters.

As information is entered, the system automatically searches for available names based on the information given. While inputting a name, the LIST button will become available once there are 10,000 or fewer choices to choose from. Touch the LIST button to view the list of available name choices or continue to spell the name to further reduce the list of available items. The system will supply a list of names to make a selection from when the number of available items is five or less. The system displays the number of available items to the right of the street name.

If you are unsuccessful when inputting a name, the name may need to be entered differently or the map DVD (database) may not contain this information. See Database Coverage Explanations .

Enter the address number from the number key pad and then touch the ENTER button. The system will list the address number range available for the street. If you have entered an address number that is incorrect or not available the system will indicate that the address number is not registered and will prompt you to see if you want to view from the midpoint of the street.
If you did not previously select the city name the system may prompt you to select the city name from the alphabet key pad or from a provided list of names prior to entering the street address. Select the desired city name.

The system will return to the street address menu. Refer to Step 4 to see how to enter a street address.

The system will use the planning methods you previously selected. These methods will be displayed in a pop-up window under the ROUTE SETTING heading on the map. Touch the CHANGE button if you wish to change the route planning methods before continuing. See "Route Setting" later in this section for more information.
