WORDMATCH PRINCIPLE
Your navigation system features a "word-
match" system designed to make it easier
for you to enter names. The system runs
ongoing checks, comparing your destina-
tion entries with the data stored on the
map CD/DVD as the basis for instant
response. The user benefits include:
> When you make an entry that consists of
more than one word, the system can
identify the name regardless of the
sequence in which you enter the individ-
ual words.
Example:
Official version:
J.F. Kennedy Square
Possible entries:
Kennedy Square J.F.
or:
Square J.F. Kennedy
> Names of specific locations can also vary
from the official versions, provided that
the spelling of the entry corresponds to a
standard form used in another country
> When you are entering the names
of cities and streets, the system will com-
plete them automatically as soon as
enough letters are available to ensure
unambiguous identification.
Example:
You want to drive to Rexford Drive in
Beverly Hills; as soon as you enter the
letter "x", the system has enough infor-
mation for positive identification and
can then finish the entry automatically
> The system only accepts name entries
beginning with letters that are stored on
the map CD/DVD. This makes it impos-
sible to enter an incorrect name or non-
existent address.
