2. Select Location and Generate Route
Go to an Address
From the Go To menu, tap the Address button. The Address Search Mode screen appears, allowing you to choose how you want to enter address information. For example, if you select City First, the first address screen lets you select from a list of cities, the second screen a list of streets, and the third screen lets you enter an address number.
Select from the following address entry options:
• Town/City First - Town/City > Street > Address Number
• In All Cities - Street > Town/City > Address Number - You enter a street name
without having to first select a town or city. This is useful when searching for an address in a metropolitan area where there are many cities and towns.
• Intersections- Town/City> Street > Street 2
• Postcode - Postcode, Street, Address Number - You can locate a street address by
entering the post code, without entering a town name, which is useful when you have no information about the town.
Note: When the United Kingdom map is selected, the first address screen is always Select
County.
Tap from one of the Address Search Mode options to display the first address screen.
Figure 4 - Selecting an Address When entering an address, you can use the keyboard to enter the characters. The characters appear in
the Address field. Destinator automatically searches the Address list for the first occurrence of the characters entered. After you have selected a town or city, Destinator displays the next address field, such as street and address number.
Instead of specifying a street, you have the option of selecting the Town/City Centre. If you don't know the address number, you can select the Street Midpoint.
Tap the OK button to move through the sequence of address screens.
