You can accomplish this by using an alphabetic input screen (either an ABC- or a QWERTY-type). You only need to enter the first few letters, as the program only searches among the settlements that exist in the given state or country. If the name of the settlement is of more than one word, the searched pattern can be any or the combination of those. You can search for multiple partial words by inserting space characters in the pattern. For example Key West in Florida will be found if you enter 'Ke W' or even 'We K' (any word order will do). You do not need to enter accents when searching for a destination. Type only the base letters (the letter most similar to the accented one) and HP iPAQ Trip Guide will search for all their combinations in the database (e.g. for the Canadian town 'Déléage' you only need to type 'Deleage', and the rest is done by the program). As you start typing, HP iPAQ Trip Guide will calculate the number of settlements matching your pattern(s). This number is shown at the right end of the input line. If all the matching city names can fit on one screen, the sound played when hitting the key will be different, and HP iPAQ Trip Guide will show you all the results in a list. You can select the one you are looking for by tapping the appropriate list item. Note: When more than 300 matching items (a list of more than 60 pages) exist for the entered pattern(s), HP iPAQ Trip Guide stops searching, and displays '>300' at the right end of the input line. Enter more letters to narrow the list. Note: When the name of the settlement contains a character that is not available on the keyboard (e.g. apostrophe or dash), HP iPAQ Trip Guide considers it a space that splits the word. That is why you can search for 'Alleyn-Et-Cawood' with all the following search criteria: 'A E C', 'Et A', or 'Al Ca'. Tip: If you have finished entering the street name and the matching names are still on more than one page, just tap Done, and select your desired settlement from the list. Turn the pages with the arrow buttons in the bottom right corner. Tip: In case you are looking for a city name that has more than one word, you can reduce the list of matches faster if you enter a few letters from each word. 106
