Operation Manual

2.8.1 Search address
By default, the search takes place in the country of the user's
present position (GPS position or cursor position on the map). In
unclear situations (e.g. when the cursor was placed outside the
territory of any country), the program will ask the user to select
the country first, provided that maps of several countries have
been installed in the device.
The search process begins with the screen containing
information about the recently selected address - "Country",
"City or code", "Street", "Number" or "Junctions".
When the user clicks the chosen field (e.g. "City"), the system
displays the screen for searching the particular location.
Search address 2
The search process begins with entering the name of the town/city. The user
has to enter the first letters of the town/city name in the "City:" field at the
top of the screen. The code of the country where the address is searched is
displayed in the top right corner of the screen. To change the country, use the
"Country" option on the bar at the bottom of the screen. AutoMapa allows
searching exact point addresses, among others in the Czech Republic, Slovakia
and Russia.
When the user taps on one of the locations found by AutoMapa, the program
will display the street search window in the given town/city.
Searching and automatic suggesting of the list of found cities and streets
begins after the second character is entered. There is also an additional delay,
enabling the user to quickly enter several characters.
The list of found streets can be additionally sorted. First, the results for the
given city will be shown. By selecting "(!)Nearby", redundant streets will be
shown, which were found in cities neighbouring the selected city. They have
been marked with the exclamation mark in addition.
In addition, after the first few characters have been entered, redundant
keyboard keys will be disabled to prevent accidental use.
If the search results fit a single screen, the keyboard will be automatically
collapsed to facilitate the address selection.
Search address 3
Note: the program memorises the previously selected locations, which will be suggested during subsequent search
inquires. In this situation, the keyboard does not open automatically. To find an address in a new location, open the
keyboard with the icon in the bottom right corner of the screen or tap on the field where the place name is entered.
After finding the location, the user can select it as an object of interest (by tapping on its name again) or – to find a given
street – enter the first letters of the street name in the "Street" field.
After selecting the street, the user can: select the street in its entirety ("Entire street" option), find the address assigned
to the street (by entering the address in the "Address:" field or by scrolling the list), or select a junction with other streets
("Show junctions" option).
If the streets have no house numbers, or if there are no streets in the place, the address searching will finish at the
earlier stage.
In case of small locations without street names, but with house numbers on the map, address searching should be done
by entering the location name in the "Street" field, i.e. as Roszyce, Roszyce. In this way, it is possible to select the
required house number.
By tapping on a selected address point (or junction, the "Entire street" option, or the name of the town/city on the
previous screen), the user will open the context menu window where the given location can be set as the destination
point, a route point, "Home", "Work", POI, favourite point, or can be displayed on the map.
