To enter a destination, choose from one of the following destination entry methods:

Preset Destinations

The preset destination entry method allows you to select destinations that were registered as presets 1 through 5.

These presets, along with the home symbol preset, are located at the bottom of each page of the Destination menu. Besides the home preset destination, these are the only presets available for selection while the vehicle is moving.

Address

The Address destination entry method allows you to input an address by providing the system with a house number, street name, and city name.

If you know the city where the address is located, touch the City screen button. The City screen allows you to select from the last five cities entered, the nearest five cities to the current location, or you may enter in the name of the city. Touch the Input City Name screen button and enter in the city using the alpha keypad. See "Alpha-Numeric Keypad" under Using the Navigation System for more information.

Use the same city name that you would use when mailing a letter. The system will search for an entry exactly as you have entered it. If you did not include a space between words where necessary, the system may not be able to find the desired location. As information is entered, the system will automatically search for available names, and the List screen button will become available. Touch the List screen button to view name choices and select the desired city name, or touch the Back screen button to continue to spell the city name, further reducing the number of available items. The box at the end of the Street entry field will contain the number of city names available in the current generated list. If you do not know the city, proceed to entering the street name.

Enter the street name using the alpha keypad. See "Alpha-Numeric Keypad" under Using the Navigation System for more information. Do not include name extensions such as N. or Drive. For example, the street name N. Civic Center Drive should be entered as CivicCenter. The system will search for an entry exactly as you have entered it. If you did not include a space between words where necessary, the system may not be able to find the desired location.

The box at the end of the Street entry field will contain the number of street names available in the current generated list.

Once the street name has been selected, enter the house number using the numeric keypad. The system will list the house number range that is available for the street. When you have finished entering the house number, touch the OK screen button. If the address number exists on more than one street that shares the same name, a list of matching street names will display. Touch the screen button by the desired street name.

If you have not already entered in the city name for the address, a list of cities that contain the address will display. Touch the screen button by the desired city to select it.

Point of Interest (POI)

The Point of Interest (POI) destination entry method allows you to choose a destination from the POI list. Select the POI screen button from the Destination menu to access the POI entry menu. The POIs in the database are cross referenced between Name, Category, and City.

The POI for Restaurant is broken down into several categories. Select the Restaurant screen button from the POI choices. A list of cuisine types will then appear.

Select the Memory Points screen button from the Destination screen to select any one of the marked points as the active destination. Marked points can also be sorted by icon, date saved, or alphabetically.

See "Memory Points" under Navigation Menu for more information on registering, editing, and deleting memory points.

The Emergency destination entry method allows you to select a destination by selecting from a list of emergency facilities. The list will vary by area.

Selecting Police Station or Hospital will display a list. Select a destination from the list, select Enter Destination, Route, then Start to start route guidance. The list can be changed to appear in alphabetical order or in order by distance from your vehicle's location.

This screen also provides the address and map coordinates of your vehicle's current position.

Map

The Map destination entry method displays the last location on the map, and the road preference.

Scroll across and touch the map at the location you would like to set as your destination. Once you have located the desired destination, touch the Enter Destination screen button and then the OK screen button. The route will then be calculated. Begin driving to start route guidance or touch the Route screen button and then the Start screen button.

You can zoom out to view the entire regional map. See "Touch-Sensitive Screen Buttons" under Using the Navigation System for more information. However, if you zoom out as much as possible and scroll around the map, some parts of the map will appear to be missing because they are not readable in larger scales.

Previous Start Point

The Previous start point destination entry method allows you to select the last start point as a destination.

Phone Number

The Phone Number destination entry method allows you to search for a point of interest (POI) destination by entering the POI phone number.

To enter a destination using this method, enter the name of the street, but do not include name extensions such as N. or Drive. For example, the street name N. Civic Center Drive should be entered as CivicCenter. The system will search for an entry exactly as you have entered it. If you did not include a space between words where necessary, the system may not be able to find the desired location. This will bring up a list of streets with that name. Select the desired street name from the list.

Now begin entering the second street name, and select the desired street name from the list. After both street names in the intersection have been selected, a list of cities containing the selected intersection will appear. If there are several cities that contain that specific intersection, you must specify a city. Select the desired city from the list. The route will then be calculated. Begin driving to start route guidance or touch the Route screen button and then the Start screen button.
