Entering an address with a postal code
All of the above address searching possibilities can
be performed with entering the postal code instead of
the settlement name. Find below an example with a full
address:
Go to Main Menu Destination Address

By default, Alpine Navigation Software proposes the
country/state and settlement where you are. If needed,
tap the button with the name of the country/state,
and select a different one from the list.

Tap the button with the name of the settlement, and
enter the postal code:
1 Start entering the postal code on the keyboard.
2 Get to the list of results:
· After entering a couple of numbers, matching results
appear in a list.

[OK]
to open the list of results before it
appears automatically.

Selecting the destination from the POIs
Selecting the destination from your
Favourites
You can select your destination from the POIs included
with Alpine Navigation Software or from the ones you
have previously created.
Go to Main Menu Destination POI
1
Select the area around which the POI should be
searched for:
·
[Near Address]
: The POI will be searched for around
a given address.
·
[Near Here]
: The POI will be searched for around the
current GPS position.
·
[Near Destination]
: The POI will be searched for
around the destination of the active route.
·
[On Route]
: The POI will be searched for not around a
given point, but by the size of the detour it adds to the
active route. This can be useful if you search for a later
stopover that causes only a minimal detour, for example
upcoming petrol stations or restaurants.
2
You can narrow the search with the following:
· Select the POI group (e.g. Accommodation), and after that,
if needed, select the POI subgroup (e.g. Hotel or Motel).
· To find the POI by its name, tap
[Search]
, and use the
keyboard to enter a part of the name.

tap

a Favourite to be your destination.

Tips on entering addresses quickly
· When you are entering the name of a settlement or a street,
Alpine Navigation Software only displays those characters
that appear in possible search results. The other characters
are greyed out.
· When entering the settlement name or the street name, tap
the
[OK]
button after a couple of letters; Alpine Navigation
Software lists the items that contain the specified letters.
· You can speed up finding an intersection:
· Search first for the street with a less common or less
usual name; fewer letters are enough to find it.
· If one of the streets is shorter, search for that one first.
You can then find the second one faster.
· You can search for both the type and the name of a road.
If the same word appears in several names, for example
in the name of streets, roads and avenues, you can
obtain the result faster if you enter the first letter of the
street type: For example, enter PI A to obtain Pine
Avenue and skip all Pine Streets and Pickwick Roads.
· You can also search in postal codes. This is useful when a
street name is common and it is used in several districts
of a city.
