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

Preset Destinations

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

Input an address by providing the system with a city name, street name, and house number.

Input the city name using the alpha keypad or touch the Recent screen button to view the last five cities entered and the nearest five cities to the current location. Touch the screen button by the desired city name to select the city. See "Alpha-Numeric Keypad" under Using the Navigation System for more information.

Use the same city name that would be used when mailing a letter. The system searches for an entry exactly as entered. If a space was not included between words where necessary, the system may not be able to find the desired location. As information is entered, the system automatically searches for available names, and the List screen button becomes 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 contains the number of city names available in the current generated list. If the city is not known, proceed to enter the street name by pressing the Street screen button.

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 Civic Center. The system searches for an entry exactly as entered.

Once the street name has been selected, enter the house number using the numeric keypad. The system lists the house number range that is available for the street. When 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 displays. Touch the screen button by the desired street name.

If the city name for the address has not already been entered, a list of cities that contain the address displays. Touch the screen button by the desired city to select it.

Scroll across and touch the map at the location to be set as the destination. Once the desired destination has been located, touch OK screen button, then the Set Destination screen button. The route is calculated. Begin driving to start route guidance or touch the Route screen button and then the Start screen button.

For example, the street name N Civic Center Drive should be entered as Civic Center. The system searches for an entry exactly as entered. If a space between words is not included where necessary, the system may not be able to find the desired location. This brings 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 appears. If there are several cities that contain that specific intersection, a city must be specified. Select the desired city from the list. The route is then calculated. Begin driving to start route guidance or touch the Route screen button and then the Start screen button.
