3.1.1 Combined Search 
There are several ways to select the destination of the route. You can find buttons in the 
Destination menu that initiate a separate search for addresses, Places, Favourite or recent 
destinations. The fastest way to search for any of these is to use the Combined Search. In 
this section you can find the full description of how this feature works. The below process 
shows how to carry out the search and the following subsections will help you find specific 
kinds of results. 
1.  In the Navigation menu, tap 
. 
2.  First you see hints on the screen showing how you can use the function. These hints 
are only displayed the first time you use this screen. 
3.  Tap anywhere and the hints disappear. Once you get through this screen to the search 
results, the hint will not appear again when you open this window later but you can see 
them again if you tap the information button on the right side of the input field. 
4.  You can see the input field at the top of the screen. Right below that you see the 
search area, the city/town around which the search is carried out. The default search 
area is the area where you are located. For a local search, skip the next step. 
5.  (optional) To search in a different area, do as follows: 
1. Tap 
. A new screen opens with a new input field. A hint bubble 
explains how you can specify the new search centre. 
2.  Tap anywhere and the hint disappears. If you successfully select a new search 
area, the hint will not appear again when you open this window later but you can 
see it again if you tap the information button on the right side of the input field. 
3.  Start entering the centre of the new search area using the screen keyboard. You 
only need to enter a few letters to get a result. If the new search area is in a 
different country, you can narrow the search results if you enter one space and 
then a few letters of the country of the search area. 
4.  The most likely result appears below the input field as you enter new letters. 
Tap to select this as your new search area. If you cannot see your preferred 
area after a few letters, tap 
 and select one from the list. 
6.  With the proper search area displayed, you can start entering the name, address or 
category of the destination you are looking for. The number shown in the 
 button shows how many results match the entered text. The 
background search is carried out while you enter letters so this number may keep on 
increasing if you wait a few seconds. Keep on entering new letters while this number is 
high.
