You may choose to enter a destination using one of the items from the list. Use the control pad to choose from the following destination planning options:

Marked Points Destination Entry: This option allows you to select a destination by choosing from a list of marked points on the map that were previously marked. Marked points include up to 100 saved points and five preset destinations. Selecting marked points from the Destination Entry menu allows you to select any one of the marked points as the active destination. Marked points can also be sorted by icon, date saved or alphabetically.



Previous Destination Entry: This option allows you to select a destination by choosing from a list of previous destinations once entered.



Intersection Destination Entry: This option allows you to select a destination by inputting the intersecting roads you wish to travel to. When you select Intersection from the Destination menu, the alpha bar will appear to allow you to input the name of the first street. This should bring up a list of cities that have streets with that name. Select the correct city and then the system will allow you to enter the second street. If you input a street name which does not cross the first street a message will appear "No corresponding intersections." After you have entered the second street, the route will be calculated and a voice prompt will come on to direct you to "Proceed to the highlighted route."



Emergency Destination Entry: This option allows you to select a destination by choosing from a list of emergency facilities. The list will vary by area. Selecting Police Station or Hospital will show a list. The order of the list can be changed to alphabetical order or order of distance.

Once you have reached the desired destination, simply press the Enter button and the route will be planned for you. You will also hear a voice prompt directing you to "Proceed to the highlighted route." Use the Zoom Out key. See "Zoom Out" under Using the Navigation System to view the entire regional map. However, when you zoom all of the way out and scroll around the map, some parts of the map will be "missing" because they are not viewable in higher scales.

POI (Points of Interest): This feature allows you to choose a destination from the points of interest list. Selecting POI from the Destinations menu brings up the Points of Interest entry menu. The POIs in the database are cross referenced between Name, Category and City Names. Name and City Names can be entered through an alpha-numeric keyboard by using the control pad.

You have three ways to select a point of interest from this screen:

While inputting a point of interest or city name, the List button will become available. Press 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.

Once you select the desired location, the system will show a map of the area with a symbol marking the destination.

Points of Interest

The following list shows the types of facilities in the DVD database that you can choose from when using the POI options:

If a right or left arrow appears to the left or right of the item name, the complete name is too long for the display. Use the left or right arrows on the control pad and the name will scroll to the end or beginning of its name.

The POI for Restaurant is broken down into eight distinct categories. Select Restaurant from the POI choices. Cuisine Type will then appear as an option.

Enter the name of a street using the alphanumeric bar. To enter the city name, select City on the Address screen. Select Input City Name. Enter the name of the city using the alpha bar. Select the desired city name from the list the system provides. After you have entered 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. Enter or select the desired street name. As information is entered, the system will automatically search for available names. While inputting a name, the List button will become available. Press the List button to view the available name choices or continue to spell the name to further reduce the number of available items. Enter the house number using the numeric bar. See "Numeric Bar" under Using the Navigation System . The system will list the house number range that is available for the street. If you did not select the city name previously, the system may prompt you to do so using the alpha bar or from a list of names which the system provides. Select the desired city name. Press the ENT button on the center of the control pad to set this as your destination. The system will return to the Enter Destination screen.
