Continue to enter characters. When you have entered enough characters to match
the desired city, it will show in the speller. Select OK.
However, because the city search lists all cities in the active region, matching the
characters inputted, it is possible to select a city that does not contain the street
selected previously.
In this case, you can either select Street to re-enter the street name; select City to
choose only form cities that contain the desired street; or choose Back to continue
spelling the city name. For this example select City.
Enter the name of the desired city. Notice this time you enter fewer characters to
match the desired city in the speller.
Help with Street Names
When entering names of streets, it is important to follow a few simple guidelines.
Press the Help button on the Spell Street screen.
First, only enter the street name, do not enter any prefixes or suffixes such as
“North” or “N”, “South” or “S”. Do not enter the street type such as “St” or “Ave”.
For example, if the street you are looking for is “N. Foothill Blvd.”, you would
simply enter “Foothill”. If the street you are looking for has a hyphen, replace it
with a space. If the street name begins with “Rue” (e.g. Rue Andrée), you would
need to enter “RUE” first.
Second, when entering numbered streets, use the numeric keypad to enter the
street followed by entering the identifier using the alpha keypad. Do not spell the
street name. For example, if the street you are looking for is “4th Street”, use the numeric keypad to enter the
number “4”, then, switch back to the alpha keypad to enter “th”. Do not spell “Fourth” unless the name of the
street starts with the word “Fourth” such as “Fourth Army Rd.”
