2.2.6 Picking an address
STEP 1. Specifying the city or postal code area
In TomTom MOBILE, you find an address by going from the general to the specific. In other words, you first specify the city or postal code area, then the street name, and then the house number or
crossing. Although this is slightly different from how addresses are normally written down, there are many advantages to searching for an address in this order.
The first thing you are therefore asked to do, is to specify a city, town or village. Type the first letters of its name. A few letters usually suffice. When you see the name of the city in the list, highlight
and select it using the joystick.
TomTom MOBILE will initially present you with a list of recently used city names. In other words, after you have used TomTom MOBILE for a while, you will often be able to pick the city without
typing any letters at all.
TomTom MOBILE also knows the postal code zones for most countries. This means that in those countries, you can enter the (first part of) a postal code instead of entering the name of the city.
STEP 2. Specifying the street
Once you have selected a city, you will be asked for a street name. Once again, a few letters usually suffice. Note that TomTom MOBILE is quite capable of finding streets on the basis of
misspelled or incomplete names. This also means that if you are looking for a street such as "Avenue de Mazagran", you could forget about the "avenue" and simply start typing "MAZ".
The street browser initially offers recently selected street names in the selected city. In other words, after you have used TomTom MOBILE for a while, you will sometimes be able to pick a street
without typing any letters at all.
Streets that cannot be entered by car are marked with a special symbol:
The browser may also contain items that aren't so much streets as "locations". This includes certain parks and squares, as you might expect, but also crucial landmarks such as railway stations:
and "city centres": .
In almost every city there is at least one such location, carrying the same name as the city itself.
