combination of those. You can search for multiple partial words by inserting space
characters in the pattern. For example Key West in Florida will be found if you enter
‘Ke W’ or even ‘We K’ (any word order will do).
You do not need to enter accents when searching for a destination. Type only the
base letters (the letter most similar to the accented one) and Touch & Go will search
for all their combinations in the database (e.g. for the Canadian town ‘Déléage’ you
only need to type ‘Deleage’, and the rest is done by the program).
As you start typing, Touch & Go will calculate the number of settlements matching
your pattern(s). This number is shown at the right end of the input line. If all the
matching city names can fit on one screen, the sound played when hitting the key will
be different, and Touch & Go will show you all the results in a list. You can select the
one you are looking for by tapping the appropriate list item.
Note: When more than 300 matching items (a list of more than 60 pages) exist for the
entered pattern(s), Touch & Go stops searching, and displays ‘>300’ at the right end
of the input line. Enter more letters to narrow the list.
Note: When the name of the settlement contains a character that is not available on
the keyboard (e.g. apostrophe or dash), Touch & Go considers it a space that splits
the word. That is why you can search for ‘Alleyn-Et-Cawood’ with all the following
search criteria: ‘A E C’, ‘Et A’, or ‘Al Ca’.
Tip: If you have finished entering the street name and the matching names are still on
more than one page, just tap Done, and select your desired settlement from the list.
Turn the pages with the arrow buttons in the bottom right corner.
Tip: In case you are looking for a city name that has more than one word, you can
reduce the list of matches faster if you enter a few letters from each word.
Note: If any of the settlements listed has named suburbs or numbered districts that
also appear separately in the map, a Show districts button will appear in the bottom
left corner. Tap this button to list the suburbs together with the main settlements.
Now the button turns to Hide districts, and tapping it will return to the original, shorter
result list.
