Planning a route to an address using search
Important: In the interest of safety and to avoid distractions while you are driving, you should always plan a
route before you start driving.
To plan a route to an address using search, do the following:
1. Tap on the search bar at the top of the map, or select Search from the main menu.
2. Use the keyboard to enter the address that you want to plan a route to.
Tip: If you press and hold (page 18) a letter key on the keyboard, you get access to extra characters if they
are available. For example, press and hold the letter "e" to access characters 3 e è é ê ë and more.
You can search for an address, town, city, or postcode.
Tip: To search for a specific street in the United Kingdom or the Netherlands, type in a postcode, then
leave a space and then type in the house number. For example, 1017CT 35. For other countries, post-
codes are area-based and will give you a list of matching cities, towns and streets in your search results.
Note: When searching, the whole map is searched. If you want to change how the search is done, select
the button to the right of the search box. You can then change where the search is done, for example, to
being along the route or in a city.
3. As you type the address, suggestions based on what you have entered are shown. You can continue typing
or select a suggestion.
Tip: To see more results, hide the keyboard or scroll down the results list.
Tip: You can switch between seeing the results on the map or in a list by selecting the list/map button:
4. Select an address suggestion.
