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 iGO 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, iGO 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 iGO 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), iGO 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), iGO 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.
Note: If any of the settlements listed has named suburbs or numbered districts that
also appear separately in the map, a Show districts button will appear in the bottom
left corner. Tap this button to list the suburbs together with the main settlements.
Now the button turns to Hide districts, and tapping it will return to the original, shorter
result list.
