Wordmatch principle
Your GPS navigation system features a
"wordmatch" system designed to make
it easier for you to enter names. The
system runs ongoing checks, compar-
ing your destination entries with the
data stored on the map CD/DVD as the
basis for instant response. The user
benefits include:
> When you make an entry that
consists of more than one word, the
system can identify the name regard-
less of the sequence in which you
enter the individual words.
Example:
Official version:
J.F. Kennedy Square
Possible entries:
Kennedy Square J.F.
or:
Square J.F. Kennedy
> Names of specific locations can also
vary from the official versions,
provided that the spelling of the entry
corresponds to a standard form used
in another country
> When you are entering the names of
cities and streets the system will
complete them automatically as soon
as enough letters are available to
ensure unambiguous identification.
Example:
You want to drive to Rexford Drive in
Beverly Hills; as soon as you enter
the letter "x", the system has enough
information for positive identification
and can then finish the entry
automatically
> The system only accepts name
entries beginning with letters that are
stored on the map CD/DVD. This
makes it impossible to enter an incor-
rect name or address.
