Selecting Options and Entering Data The GPS's patented and patent-pending destination entry interface utilizes statistical and probability analysis to improve efficiency and ease-of-use. This predictive method of selecting and entering data makes setting destinations fast and easy. (See example below.) For example, when entering a destination, you first specify how you want to enter the destination location. Your choices range from entering the address or intersecting streets (crossroads) to choosing a location from the favorites or "point of interest" database. Following the prompts on the screen, you begin spelling out the item by tapping on each letter on the data entry screen. As you make selections, the screen displays and highlights the most likely options based on the GPS patented technology. Note. Your current GPS location appears in the upper left. Items in the database that match the characters you have entered so far appear in a "mini-list" at the top of the display. In addition, the keyboard area displays the next set of matching characters for you to tap and select. To expand the "mini-list" to view more selections, tap the LIST button. To return to the main map display, tap MAP. 16
