STEP 3. Specifying the house number or crossing
Next, you will be asked to enter the house number. Or, as an alternative way of specify a precise location on a long street, you can pick the place where the selected street crosses another street.
If you press OK without entering a house number, or if TomTom MOBILE simply does not know any house numbers on the selected street, you will be presented with a list of all known crossings (i.
e. street corners). If you really do not care about the exact spot, simply pick the option "Anywhere".
Note: just like the streets themselves, side streets are sometimes marked with a special symbol indicating that they cannot be entered by car:
3. The menu
The menu pops up when you press the joystick or the left soft key on the main screen. The menu is displayed on two pages.
Use Next to cycle through the pages. Highlight and select a menu item using the joystick.
When a menu option is not available, the icon is dimmed and cannot be selected.
The "change preferences" option gives access to several menu pages with preference options, which are explained in chapter 4.
