Appendix Appendix C: Using Diacritical Marks When finding cities, enter each character using the base letter (or whatever corresponding letter with diacritical marks appears), then proceed to the next character. As you continue to enter each character, previously entered characters may change to appear with or without diacritical marks. Once the desired name is displayed, select OK, and then select the desired name. An information page will appear. 66 Using Diacritical Marks The European version of the StreetPilot 2620/2660 supports diacritical marks commonly used in many European languages. Diacritical marks are added to letters to indicate a special phonetic value that distinguishes it from an otherwise identical letter. The following letter/diacritic combinations, and special characters, are supported in your StreetPilot: À Á Â Ã Ä Å Ç È É Ê Ë Ì Í Î Ï Ð Ñ Ò Ó Ô Õ Ö Ø Ù Ú Û Ü Ý Ÿ Þ ß Ligatures are not displayed, but are instead converted to separate characters. For example, "Æ" or "æ" appears on the StreetPilot as "AE." Similarly, "Œ" or "œ" appears on the StreetPilot as "OE." The "ß" character is displayed as "SS" on the StreetPilot. Letters with diacritical marks are sorted together with those without diacritics. For example, the "Ç" is sorted in the StreetPilot's alphabet as a "C," and the "Ð" is sorted as a "D." This means that sorted lists may contain a mix of diacritic marks for a given letter. Also note that the "Þ" character appears at the end of the alphabet on the StreetPilot. When searching for a city or point of interest (POI) that includes these special characters in its name, your search proceeds as if the base letter and the same letter with diacritical marks are identical. In other words, when searching for a city/POI that includes E or Ë in the name, simply enter "E" or whichever diacritic version appears and proceed to the next character in the name. As you continue to enter additional characters, the appropriate character appears when the correct city/POI name is selected. You can observe this by using the FIND key to select the following cities:
