CHAPTER 12 – ADVANCED VOICE FUNCTIONS
EXPERT MODE
The Expert Mode
– The expert mode can be turned on and off in the settings menu (Chapter 10), and
should only be used if you have read the manual and are familiar with the system. The expert mode
allows you to bypass the startup menu and directly access your destination. The expert mode also gives
limited feedback. When placed in the expert mode the GNAV20 will only sound a chime when powered
up (unless you have an unfinished route in memory, in which case the GNAV20 will ask you if you would
like to continue to that POI or address), and will wait for you to give it a command.
Here is a list of expert mode commands along with an explanation of how they are used.

SHORTCUTS AND TIPS
Spelling part of the place name
– If you are entering a place name that is extremely long, you only need
to spell part of each word, as long as you say the word “space” between words. For example, you can
enter “Redondo Beach Brewing Company” in the following way:
R–E–D–O–
space
–B–E–A–
space
–B–R–E–W–
stop
You can also enter place names in any order, and even omit entire words. Of course your chance of
finding the correct place increases with precise information, but this is useful if you can only remember a
few words in the place name. Here is another way to enter “Redondo Beach Brewing Company”:
Example
B–R–E–W–I–N–G–
space
–B–E–A–C–H–
stop
Search from Closest to Farthest
– If you enter a place that occurs less than 5 times throughout the entire
database, the GNAV20 will list the locations, starting with the one closest to your vehicle, and will
continue to the next closest location every time you say “
no
”.
If you enter a place that occurs many times throughout the database, the GNAV20 will ask you if you
would like to spell the city name. If you do not choose to spell the city name, and the GNAV20 has a
good GPS signal, it will list the locations starting with the one closest to you vehicle, and will go to the
next closest location with every “
no
” response.
Search Nearby Cities
– This GNAV20 has the unique ability to find a POI even if you enter the wrong
city. For example, Macaroni Grill has restaurants in many cities, so after entering this POI the GNAV20
will ask you if you want to spell the city name. If you answer “
yes
”, and spell a city where the Macaroni
Grill is not located, the GNAV20 will pick the Macaroni Grill location closest to the city you entered.
