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. 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 street name, or touch the Back screen button to continue to spell the street name, further reducing the number of available items. 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.

Search for a POI by using a combination of the following three methods:

• | Type in a POI by name using the alpha-numeric keypad. As you type in a name, the system will search for an available match. Select the desired POI.

| While inputting a POI or city name, the List screen button will become available. The box at the end of the Name entry field will contain the number of items in the current generated list. Touch the List screen button to view the list of available names, or continue to spell the name to further reduce the list.

• | Select a POI by selecting the Category option. Select a category from the list. If the list of available POIs for the category selected is still too long, you may need to input the name or city for the POI.

• | Touch the City screen button and type in the city you wish to select a POI from.

If an arrow appears to the right or left of the item name, the complete name is too long for the display. Touch the right or left arrow screen buttons to scroll to the end or beginning of the name.

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.

### Memory Points

The Memory Points destination entry method allows you to select a destination by choosing from a list of marked points on the map that were previously marked.

Memory points include up to 30 saved points, five preset destinations, and a home destination. 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.

If a memory point has been registered, you can select an icon to correspond with that memory point. To register that memory point with a sound, touch the With Sound screen button, then select a sound.

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

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

### 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.

Enter the POI phone number on the numeric keypad and touch the OK screen button. The destination location will display. Most phone numbers for POIs included in the DVD database can be entered to locate a destination. Cellular phone numbers and internal company phone numbers cannot be entered to locate a destination.

### Intersection

The Intersection destination entry method allows you to select a destination by inputting the intersecting roads.

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.
