Word-matching principle

The system's word-matching principle makes it

easier for you to enter the names of towns or

streets. The system runs ongoing checks, com-

paring your destination entries with the data

stored on the navigation DVD as the basis for

instant response. The benefits for you include:

>

Names of towns entered may differ from the

official versions if you are using a spelling

that is customary in another country.

Example:

Instead of the German spelling "München"

you can also enter the English spelling

"Munich" or the Italian spelling "Monaco".

>

When you are entering the names of towns

and streets the system will complete them

automatically as soon as enough letters are

available to ensure unambiguous identifica-

tion.

The system offers only those letters for

selection of name entries that are stored on

the navigation DVD. Thus, entry of errone-

ous or unregistered names is impossible.
