Appendix F
Using Diacritical Marks
Using Diacritical Marks
The StreetPilot III supports diacritical marks commonly used in many European languages.
Diacritical marks are added to letters to indicate a special phonetic value which distinguishes it from
an otherwise identical letter. The following letter/diacritic combinations, and special characters, are
supported in your StreetPilot III:
À Á Â Ã Ä Å Ç È
É Ê Ë Ì Í Î Ï Ð
Ñ Ò Ó Ô Õ Ö Ø Ù
Ú Û Ü Ý Ÿ Þ ß
Ligatures are not displayed, but are instead converted to separate characters. For example, “Æ” or
“æ” will appear on the StreetPilot III as “AE”. Similarly, “Œ” or “œ” will appear on the StreetPilot III as
“OE”. The “ß” character is displayed as “SS” on the StreetPilot III.
Letters with diacritical marks are sorted together with those without diacritics. For example, the
“Ç” is sorted in the StreetPilot III’s alphabet as a “C”, and the “Д is sorted as a “D”. This means that
sorted lists may contain a mix of diacritic marks for a given letter. Also note that the “Þ” character
appears at the end of the alphabet on the StreetPilot III.
When searching for a city or point of interest (POI) that includes these special characters in its
name, your search will proceed as if the base letter and the same letter with diacritical marks are
identical. In other words, when searching for a city/POI that includes E, È, É, Ê or Ë in the name,
simply enter “E” or whichever diacritic version appears and proceed to the next character in the name.
As you continue to enter additional characters, the appropriate character will appear when the correct
city/POI name is selected. You can observe this by using the FIND key to select the following cities:
To FIND Västerås, Sweden:
1. Press FIND and use the ROCKER KEYPAD to select ‘Cities’, then press ENTER.
As you continue entering each character, previously
entered characters (the second letter in this example)
may change to appear with or without diacritical marks.
Once the desired name is selected press ENTER twice to
display an information page.
When fi nding cities, enter each character using the base
letter (or whatever corresponding letter with diacritical
marks appears), then proceed to the next character.
