Route searching You can search for a route in various ways. The following route search methods are available. • "Address search" (page 8) • "Home search" (page 9) • "POI search" (page 10) • "Intersection search" (page 11) • "City center search" (page 11) • "Recent destinations search" (page 11) • "Address book search" (page 11) • "Favorites search" (page 12) Address search Address search allows you to set the destination by entering the address information such as house number, street name, etc. Note on the state selection The system recognizes the state you usually drive in and sets it as default, so that you do not need to enter the same state name at each address search. When GPS detects that the current position is not in the default state, the state selection display automatically appears, allowing you to set the desired state. 8
