Wordmatch principle
Your navigation system features a word-
match system designed to make it easier
for you to enter names. The system runs
ongoing checks, comparing your destina-
tion entries with the data stored on the map
CD 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 iden-
tify the name regardless 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 unambig-
uous identification.
Example:
For instance, if you were searching for Iowa
Ave NW in Washington, the system could
identify the street as soon as you typed in
the letter "o" and would proceed to
complete the entry automatically
>
The system only accepts name entries
beginning with letters that are stored on the
map CD. The system will not accept non-
existent names and addresses.

What to do if …
>
you request the current location of your
vehicle, but do not receive a precise
display?
The system is unable to receive enough
GPS signals at your current location owing
to obstructions, your location is not yet
available on your CD, or the system is in the
process of calculating your location. Please
wait and then try again later on.
>
the GPS logo disappears from the
Control Display screen?
Reception is interrupted; a building or
similar obstruction may be the cause.
>
the guidance system refuses to import
an address from the destination directory
as its destination?
The address is in the list, but not on the
map CD currently in use. Choose an
address as close as possible to the original
one, using the destination entry map as
required.
>
the guidance system adopts an address
without the street?
No specified center is defined for the
selected locality on your CD. Enter any
street, or a destination such as the railway
station, etc., then start the guidance
system.
>
you want to enter an address for the
guidance system, but it is not possible to
select the letters for your desired entry?
The address is in the list, but not on the
map CD currently in use. In this case, the
system will not offer you any letters to
choose from. Choose an address as close
as possible to the original one, using the
destination entry map as required.
>
you attempt to enter a destination
address using the target cursor, but the
guidance system refuses to accept your
entry?
Your current scale does not offer adequate
resolution. The system can only import
destinations at map scales to 0.6 miles
(1 km).
>
the system stops furnishing directions
on which way to turn as you approach
intersections?
You are driving in an area that has not yet
been completely recorded on the map CD.
Instead of an arrow indicating a turn, you
will see an arrow which indicates the
general direction of your planned route;
