Selecting a route You can influence the route calculated by selecting various route criteria.

Wordmatch principle The wordmatch principle makes the input of place names and streets easier. It compares your destination inputs continuously with the data stored on the navigation DVD, and reacts even if slight discrepancies are found. This has the following advantages for you: > You can also input place names in a form which differs from the official version, pro- vided that you use a form that is familiar in another country or language. Example: If you are using the German navigation DVD, instead of the German name "München" you can enter the English equivalent "Munich" or the Italian equivalent "Monaco".
> When entering place names or streets, the system completes the name automatically as soon as it has been identified beyond doubt.
> The system only accepts name entries
beginning with letters that are stored on the navigation DVD. This makes it impossible for an incorrect name or unknown addresses to be accepted.
