Word-matching principle The system's word-matching principle makes it easier for you to enter the names of streets or towns. The system runs ongoing checks, com- paring your destination entries with the data stored on the navigation DVD as the basis for instant response. The benefits for you include: > Names of specific locations can also vary from the official versions if you are using a spelling that is customary in another coun- try. Example: Instead of the German spelling "München" you can also enter the English spelling "Munich" or the Italian spelling "Monaco". > When you are entering the names of towns and streets the system will complete them automatically as soon as enough letters are available to ensure unambiguous identifica- tion.
> The system only accepts name entries
beginning with letters that are stored on the navigation DVD. The system will not accept non-existent names and addresses.
