Word matching principle The system supports the word matching principle to make it easier for you to enter the names of streets or towns. The system runs ongoing checks, comparing your destination entries with the data stored on the navigation DVD as the basis for instant response. The user benefits include: > Names of specific locations can also vary from the official versions if you are using a spelling that is customary in another country. Example: Instead of "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 identification. > The system only accepts name entries beginning with letters that are stored on the navigation DVD. The system will not accept non existent names and addresses. 155 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 0 014 240 - © 08/07 BMW AG Reference Mobility Communications Entertainment Navigation Driving tips Controls At a glance
