You do not need to enter special characters. In place of an „Ä” simply enter
„A”, instead of „Ö” enter „O”, instead of „Ü” enter „U”. For example, if your
destination is located in „Köln,” Germany, just enter „K O L N”.
You do also not need to enter spaces and hyphens. Instead, simply click the
empty field to the left of the white triangle (at the bottom, third button from the
right). If you make a mistake, click the backspace key to delete the wrong entry.
Depending on the version of your software and depending on the map material
you may see the pre-select for the country at the left below. The last settings will
be saved. If you select "All Countries", you can enter places without knowing the
country. This is helpful in border areas sometimes. You need not to pre-select a
specific country first. You can search over all countries as well.
After selection of the cities you get to the road selection.
