Note: The POI browser only shows the nearest points of interest, not all of them. Therefore, if you are looking for a particular point of interest, say a restaurant with a certain name, you may have to type some (more) letters of that name before it appears in the list. Related topics: See chapter 2.1 for details about how to browse, search for particular items, etc. in the list of POI categories or in the list of POI. See chapter 4.4 about how to show or hide POI on the main screen See chapter 4.10 about how to show or hide particular POI categories. 2.2.6 Picking an address STEP 1. Specifying the city or postal code area In TomTom Navigator , you find an address by going from the general to the specific. In other words, you first specify the city or postal code area, then the street name, and then the house number or crossing. Although this is slightly different from how addresses are normally written down, there are many advantages to searching for an address in this order. The first thing you are therefore asked to do, is to specify a city, town or village. Type the first letters of its name. A few letters usually suffice. When you see the name of the city in the list, tap it. TomTom Navigator will initially present you with a list of recently used city names. In other words, after you have used TomTom Navigator for a while, you will often be able to pick the city without typing any letters at all. TomTom Navigator also knows the postal code zones for most countries. This means that in those countries, you can enter the (first part of) a postal code instead of entering the name of the city.
